Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy Compared to Prolonged Exposure Therapy With and Without D-Cycloserine

PTSD is a significant public health issue. We tested the efficacy of virtual reality exposure (VRE) or prolonged imaginal exposure (PE), augmented with D-cycloserine (DCS) for combat-related PTSD. As an exploratory aim, we examined whether brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) moderated treatment response.
