In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This RCT investigates whether Cognitive Processing Therapy, a first line treatment for PTSD, can be enhanced by the use of the odor molecule Hexadecenal (HEX). HEX is secreted from body odor and has been shown to promotes psychological well-being and positive social interaction. For the active group Hex will be diffused in the treatment room during all treatment sessions. For the control group a vehicle placebo molecule will be diffused. Both therapists and patients will be blind to study condition.
