About this study
Researchers are testing whether anesthesia-induced dreaming can help reduce symptoms of PTSD. The trial will involve adults who have PTSD, and they will receive either deep sedation to induce dreams or light sedation without loss of responsiveness. Researchers are comparing these two approaches to see which one leads to a greater reduction in PTSD symptoms.
