简要总结
This study will examine the effects of psychotherapy as treatment for PTSD. This research will see how brain activity and brain connectivity is affected by Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Muscle Relaxation Therapy (MRT). Participants that qualify to be in this study will receive 8 weeks of group therapy in MBCT or MRT. Prior to receiving therapy participants will: complete baseline assessments related to their PTSD; fill out surveys; have an functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI); and provide a saliva sample. These assessments will be repeated after the therapy is over. Overall study participation should last approximately 10-12 weeks.

结局指标
主要结局
Group differences in the change in resting-state functional connectivity between two large-scale distributed functional connectivity networks: the Default Mode Network (DMN) and the Central Executive Network (CEN)
时间窗: pre-therapy and post therapy (approximately 8 weeks)
Network functional connectivity will be measured through fMRI blood oxygen level dependent \[BOLD\] signal. Time-course of BOLD signal while participants are "resting" (not performing a task) will be used to identify patterns of functional connectivity between two large-scale neural networks DMN and CEN. We will use the Brain Basis Set methodology: creating a whole-brain correlation matrix between all combinations of hundreds of brain regions throughout the brain (a "connectome") followed by data-reduction methods (principle components analyses, PCA) to examine the structure of functional connectivity patterns between nodes of canonical intrinsic connectivity networks.
次要结局
- Group differences in the change in resting-state functional connectivity between two large-scale distributed functional connectivity networks: the Default Mode Network (DMN) and the Salience Network (SN), measured through fMRI BOLD signal.(pre-therapy and post therapy (approximately 8 weeks))
