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.

Psychological treatments, commonly using trauma focused cognitive-behavioral techniques, like prolonged exposure (PE) are today recommended as first-line treatments for PTSD. Unfortunately, this treatment is not available to everyone who needs it. Therefore, we are investigating the feasibility of internet-delivered prolonged exposure for patients with PTSD.

Primal investigator of the project is Maria Bragesjö.

Rücklab 2021 summary

Today we had the last research group meeting of the year, the first one in a long while in person at Psykiatri Sydväst. We summarized the year that has gone by and looked ahead to 2022.

This year, new research tracks have been added to the group. In addition to OCD and related disorders, we now work with projects about “exhaustion disorder” (Swedish diagnosis utmattningssyndrom), trauma and suicide.

Apart from this, the research group’s members ongoing projects involve:

  • Trichotillomania and skin-picking disorder
  • Body dysphoric disorder, focused on dissatisfaction of genitals
  • Hoarding disorder
  • Tics and tourettes
  • Internet delivered psychological treatment
  • Statistical modelling
  • Genetics and microbiome in patients with OCD
  • Transcranial magnetic stimulation for major depression
  • Deep brain stimulation for OCD

The group is now extensive and well equipped for exciting new research!
