Abstract in brief
The study compared the effectiveness of prolonged exposure therapy and sertraline medication for treating PTSD, focusing on how patient treatment preferences impact outcomes.
Both treatments showed long-term benefits, but prolonged exposure was more effective in helping patients lose their PTSD diagnosis and adhere to treatment when patients received their preferred option.
Allowing patients to choose their treatment improved adherence and overall outcomes, highlighting the importance of considering patient preferences in PTSD treatment strategies.]

These are important issues to consider but they don’t, imo, mean trials should not be done.

Patients with PTSD preferred prolonged exposure over sertraline (NNTB=4.5). However, both interventions showed large gains that were maintained over 24 months and no differential effect was observed on interviewer-rated PTSD severity https://t.co/Qy32jtqhN7
