Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Military Health

Background:

  • Military and Veteran populations exhibit higher posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) prevalence than civilian populations.
  • Trauma-focused psychotherapies are recommended first-line treatments, but their efficacy in military contexts needs further examination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a meta-analysis synthesizing research on the effectiveness of psychotherapies, pharmacotherapies, and combination treatments for PTSD in military populations.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed, adhering to PRISMA and Cochrane guidelines.
  • Searches were conducted across multiple databases (PsycINFO, MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses).
  • Data from 414 studies were included in the final analysis.

Main Results:

  • The overall effect size for all PTSD treatments was g=0.96, significantly higher than control conditions (g=0.45).
  • Clinician-administered measures showed larger effects (g=1.02) than self-reported measures (g=0.82).
  • Combination therapies demonstrated the largest effect size (g=2.17), surpassing individual psychotherapies and pharmacotherapies.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy may be more effective for addressing multifaceted PTSD symptoms than monotherapies.
  • These findings contrast with current guidelines prioritizing psychotherapy over pharmacotherapy.
  • Further research on subclass analyses and long-term outcomes is recommended to refine PTSD treatment strategies for military populations.
