Instruction Color: Research (Pilot) Data

First night of sleep overconsolidation of trauma memory

Sleep disruption – measured with wearable / apps – during first week

Harnessing IT to monitor a proxy of the behavior through digital tools that construct a digital phenotype to aid in deviations from pretraumatic behavior and early interventions

SSRI as a secondary prevention (duration 3-4 month) (Suliman et al, 2015).

Genetic Risk for PTSD – multiple new GWAS, (Misganaw PRS 2019, Neivergelt 2019, Gelernter 2019).

Social Support

Laboratory findings – Single approx 25-min behavioural intervention (reminder + filler + mental rotation instructions for Tetris game play) 24 hours after trauma: tested after experimental trauma but not real-world trauma. Main outcome is reduction of intrusive memories over 1 week. Neither game play alone not trauma reminder cue alone was sufficinet: full intervention package is needed.

Computerized Visuospatial Tasks (Iyadurai et al, 2018; Horsh et al, 2017).
