Veterans who have been exposed to physical assault, highly stressful situations or life-threatening events may develop Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). VA and Stanford researchers are dedicated to better understand PTSD. As a part of this effort we are conducting research studies. The current research program aims to study how sleep disordered breathing, age and genetics may affect memory in older adult veterans with PTSD.
Symptoms of PTSD
- Nightmares about the traumatic event
- Difficulty sleeping
- Feeling tense, on-guard, and easily startled
- Feeling irritable and easily angered, often about everyday things
- Difficulty remembering or concentrating
We are looking for male and female veterans, 55 years old and older to participate. The study consists of a screening visit to determine eligibility and yearly overnight visits. During the overnight visit we will monitor your sleep. There is compensation of up to $250 for completion of the study.
“Your help is needed… and truly appreciated.”
