Event Abstract Back to Event Combat Related Post Traumatic Stress Disorder: A Multiple Case Report Using Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy with Physiological Monitoring Ruchira Densert1*, D. P. Wood2, J. Murphy2, R. McLay1, J. Spira2, J. Pyne3 and B. K. Wiederhold2 1 Mental Health Department Chairman, Navy Hospital Camp Pendleton, United States 2 Virtual Reality Medical Center, United States 3 Center for Mental Healthcare Outcomes Research, Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System, United States Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is one of the most disabling psychological conditions affecting the current War on Terrorism combat veteran population. Research has identified Virtual Reality Exposure Graded Exposure Therapy (VRGET) as a new medium of exposure therapy for treating combat veterans diagnosed with PTSD. Four participants have recently completed VRGET at NHCP. Our poster will review not only the treatment protocol for the ONR funded study to treat combat-related PTSD with VRGET, but our poster will also review the treatment outcome results for the four participants treated in the NHCP cohort.
