Brief Treatment for Trauma Nightmares in Trauma-exposed Adults With Bipolar Disorder

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Nightmares, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

In brief

Exposure, relaxation, and rescripting therapy (ERRT) is a promising psychological intervention developed to target trauma-related nightmares and sleep disturbances. Though further evidence is needed, ERRT has shown strong support in reducing the number and intensity of nightmares, as well as improving overall sleep quality in both civilian and veteran samples. This study will assess the efficacy in individuals diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
