Combining trauma therapy with computer-based neurocognitive training in soldiers with post-traumatic stress disorder: a quasi-experimental study on symptom reduction and long-term memory functions

C-bnt was associated with modest, domain-specific reductions in PTSD-related avoidance and depressive symptoms at post-treatment, while no improvements in verbal or visuospatial long-term memory performance were observed. Symptom relief may thus be based on intermingled changes of diverse cognitive resources and emotional processes. We suggest that c-bnt may serve as a low-threshold adjunct to trauma-focused therapy, that may help to improve health condition and capabilities of everyday life in soldiers with PTSD.
