NCT02789982

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is: (1) to examine the effectiveness of reconsolidation blockade as a treatment for trauma-related disorders, (2) to evaluate the feasibility of implementing this new treatment on a large scale in a short delay. This clinical trial as been set up in response to the Paris attacks to increase treatment capacity of the AP-HP (Assistance Publique des Hopitaux de Paris) hospital network.. Reconsolidation blockade will be compared to treatment as usual (TAU), on symptoms reduction after 6 weeks of treatment. In order to measure effectiveness and cost-utility, socioeconomic measures, quality of life and social functioning outcomes will be measured pre- and post-treatment as well as 3 and 12 months after study enrollment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • The PTSD Checklist (PCL-S)

    The PCL-S is a 17-item self-report scale assessing DSM-IV-TR PTSD symptoms in the past week from the perspective of the patient. The PSL-S range between 17 (no symptom) and 85 (maximum score)

    change from baseline to 12 months follow-up

  • Medical resources use

    Costs, in Euros, related to healthcare utilization and work status are evaluated with the MEDico-Economic Questionnaire (MEDEC) adapted from the Client Service Receipt Inventory in order to meet the specificity of the French Health system

    from baseline to 12 months follow-up

  • Quality of life assessed by EQ-5D-5L Euroquol questionnaire

    The EQ-5D-5L assesses five health dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension is rated on five levels of severity. The levels of severity for each dimension ranges from no problems (1) to extreme problems/unable to perform (0)

    at 12- months follow-up
