Digital health –based exposure therapies for patients with posttraumatic stress disorder: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials
AbstractAlthough exposure therapies have established effects in treating posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), these therapies might be hindered by issues of cost, distance, time, and human resources, which are potentially alleviated by digital health. Despite the potential of digital health, there is currently no systematic review specifically evaluating digital health –based exposure therapies. We aimed to conduct a systematic literature review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examining the impact of digital health–based exposure therapies in treating patients with PTSD. A literature search was conducted from D...
