Keyword: Stress

Abstract: We are evaluating a novel Augmented Reality Exposure Therapy (ARET) protocol for PTSD in firefighters. Sixty participants will be randomized to EB-TAU or EB-TAU + ARET. Physiological arousal (HR, SCR) and clinical outcomes (PCL-5, SDS) will be assessed. This study tests ARET’s feasibility and effectiveness for occupation-specific PTSD treatment.
