入选标准

  • Patient group:
  • Participants with PTSD (n = 160) will be recruited (1) at collaborating
  • treatment centres, before the start of their trauma-focused therapy treatment,
  • when they have at least a suspected PTSD diagnosis with an indication for
  • trauma-focused therapy, or (2) independently from treatment centres, when they
  • declare to have received a PTSD diagnosis by a doctor or specialist and
  • currently experience considerable PTSD symptoms; these participants will be
  • screened with a PTSD diagnostic interview (CAPS-5) to confirm current PTSD
  • diagnosis (otherwise exclusion). Patients must be aged 18-64. If applicable,
  • the expected waiting time until treatment is sufficient for participation, at
  • least for part A of the study, with minimal overlap with treatment beng allowed
  • (as specified in research protocol). Progression of patients into substudy B
  • follows based on additional screening criteria, interest and feasibility.
  • Control group:
  • Healthy, non-trauma exposed control participants (n = 30) will be recruited
  • from the general population in and around Nijmegen. Control participants only
  • complete assessments from substudy A. Control participants must be aged 18-64
  • years. Inclusion criteria are no history of psychiatric disorders, and no
  • history of childhood maltreatment. Hence, this group will reflect a healthy,
  • non-trauma exposed control group, Control participants will be selected based
  • on age, gender and education, with the aim to match the distributions of these
  • relevant basic demographic variables to the (expected) distributions of the
  • included patient group.

排除标准

  • Patient group:
  • Current episode of psychotic or manic symptoms.
  • Daily intake of benzodiazepines, or otherwise irregular intake of
  • benzodiazepines (*when needed*) but unable to withhold intake from the day
  • prior to each test session until the end of the each test session. An exception
  • is made for low doses of short-acting benzodiazepines that are prescribed for
  • insomnia (i.e. as sleep medication).
  • A relevant neurological disorder (e.g., stroke, epilepsy, Multiple Sclerosis)
  • or severe physical disorder which is likely to impact assessment procedures or
  • Reports to be unable or unwilling to withhold recreational drug use and limit
  • alcohol use from the day prior to each test session until the end of the each
  • test session.
  • General learning disability, or known to have intelligence Quotient (IQ) <
  • Body Mass Index (BMI) of >35.
  • If relevant, endocrine disorder and/or current or recent endocrine treatment
  • (<1 month ago; for e.g., phechromocytoma, hyperthyroidism, Cushing*s
  • Current or recent regular use of corticosteroids (<1 month ago).
  • For women: Pregnancy.
  • Reports hypersensitivity to hydrocortisone or any of the tablet*s auxiliary
  • (Only for part B) contraindications for MRI scanning (e.g., pacemaker,
  • implanted metal parts, metal in or around the body, deep brain stimulation,
  • severe claustrophobia).
  • Note: based on the exclusion criteria above, it may be decided by the research
  • team that a participant should only participate in part A of the study, but
  • will be excluded from part B of the study
  • Control group:
  • History of childhood maltreatment
  • Current or past psychiatric disorder
  • Use of psychotropic medication
  • Relevant neurological disorder (e.g., stroke, epilepsy, Multiple Sclerosis)
  • or severe physical disorder which is likely to impact assessment procedures or
  • Reports to be unable or unwilling to withhold recreational drug use and limit
  • alcohol use from the day prior to each test session until the end of the each
