More funding for PTSD research

We are very happy to announce that Maria has received two additional grants for her work on innovating treatment for PTSD!

Two weeks ago, we reported that Maria got 2.4 million SEK from CIMED.

Since then, she has received two new grants:

Firstly, she received 3 million from FORTE for her upcoming RCT on intensive exposure-based treatment for PTSD. You can read more about the project here. In short, it is about PTSD treatment during five intensive days instead of weekly treatment during three to five months.

In addition, she has received the ALF grant for clinical postdoc. The support consists of 500 000 SEK per year for 2 years with the possibility of extension for another 2 years.

These contributions will benefit patients through new high quality forms of trauma treatment.

Good job Maria!

Grant money to Maria

Congratulations to PTSD research, Maria has received a 2.4 million SEK CIMED project grant! 🎉

Maria’s study evaluates intensive treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), an exposure-based treatment that is given for five days instead of the regular treatment time of three to five months. Preliminary research shows intensive trauma focused treatment to be as effective as when the treatment is delivered by weekly sessions, but with the advantage that the recovery rate is faster and the proportion of patients who drop out decreases.
