Study arms from PTSD clinical trials are coded for intervention types, delivery methods, and dosing parameters. Each record represents a treatment or control arm labeled A through D, with variables for pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, and complementary health subclasses. The dataset is maintained by the PTSD Repository and was last updated in February 2026.
Use Cases
- Analyze the relationship between Treatment Delivery Method (in person, by video, etc.) and reported Treatment Completion rates across studies.
- Model the association between Treatment Duration, Session Length, Frequency, and clinical outcomes using Arm N Randomized as a sample size variable.
- Classify studies by primary Treatment Focus (Study level) and compare the distribution of Pharmacotherapy Subclass or Psychotherapy types.
- Investigate demographic correlations by joining on study-level variables like Female Percent, Military Status, and Race/Ethnicity Reported.
- Compare dosing regimens (Dose) and Format (individual, group) across different CIH Subclass interventions like relaxation or meditation.
Strengths
- Includes detailed subclassification for major intervention types (Pharmacotherapy, Psychotherapy, CIH).
- Captures multiple dimensions of treatment delivery including Format, Delivery Method, and dosing parameters.
- Data is structured with clear null value handling for 'NA' or 'NR' abstractions.
Limitations
- Sample size and total row count are unknown, limiting statistical power assessment.
- Geographic coverage and author information are not provided, obscuring data origin and potential bias.
- Relies on abstracted study data, which may introduce coding inconsistencies or missing details.
