Stress Management Program for World Trade Center (WTC) Responders

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: PTSD, Signs and Symptoms, Respiratory

In brief

Many responders to the World Trade Center (WTC) disaster continue to experience significant mental and physical health problems. Two of the most common health problems, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and respiratory illness, often occur together. Mental health conditions, such as PTSD, make physical illnesses worse and interfere with treatment. The primary goal of this study is to test a mind-body treatment designed to reduce both PTSD and respiratory symptoms.
