This summer, thousands of Joint Base Lewis-McChord Soldiers will return home from deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, ready to reunite with family and loved ones. But for some, the war will not be over.
The Improvised Explosive Device that killed their best friend while on a mission will play over and over again in a few Soldiers’ minds. For others, who may have just finished up their third or fourth deployment in less than a decade, may recall traumatic events and describe them with little or no emotion, similar to giving results for an after-action review.
Behavioral health providers have treatment options for Soldiers dealing with these serious examples of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, but one in particular is receiving lots of attention in the medical community – Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy.
The Department of Defense National Center for Telehealth and Technology, in partnership with the Defenses Center of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury, and the Department of Psychology at Madigan, were funded by the United States Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, to conduct a four-year study to determine the effectiveness of VRET on active-duty servicemembers returning from Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom who are suffering from PTSD.
