Abstract in brief

  • A meta-analysis of 13 studies involving 675 participants confirms that prolonged exposure (PE) therapy is highly effective for treating posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), showing large and sustained benefits.
  • The research found no significant difference in effectiveness between PE and other active PTSD treatments like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and others.
  • Overall, PE helps patients improve significantly, with treated individuals outperforming 86% of those in control groups, and these positive effects tend to last well over time.]
