Exercise Training
for PTSD
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is prevalent among military Veterans and is more than just a psychological condition; PTSD has profound negative impacts on health, function, and quality of life. Older Veterans are the largest patient population served by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), and many have lived with PTSD for 40+ years. Veterans with PTSD engage in low levels of physical activity and spend much of their time in sedentary activities, adding to their risk of physical disability. The benefits of exercise on mental health and physical well-being in older adults are well-substantiated, but the effects of exercise training on late-life PTSD symptoms is a new area of study. This study is designed to examine the effects of 6 months of supervised exercise training on PTSD symptoms and PTSD-related conditions (e.g., functional impairment, sleep) in 188 older Veterans with PTSD.

Pregnenolone
for PTSD
This trial tests pregnenolone, a natural hormone booster, to see if it can help Iraq/Afghanistan-era Veterans with PTSD who need better treatment options. Pregnenolone works by balancing brain chemicals to improve mood and reduce PTSD symptoms. Pregnenolone has been studied for its brain-protective effects, particularly in relation to its conversion to estradiol.
