Read our PTSD research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers are testing whether , a hormone medication, can reduce distressing intrusive memories that sometimes develop after trauma exposure. The study uses a controlled laboratory procedure (watching a stressful film) to safely study how the medication affects memory formation. This medication may be given either before or after the stressful experience, to see which timing works best.
Many people who experience trauma develop unwanted intrusive memories that intrude on their daily life. This trial explores whether the medication can prevent these memories from forming in the first place, which could lead to new ways to help people recover from traumatic stress.

You would take a pill (either the medication or placebo) at a specific time — either two hours before or immediately after watching a stressful film designed to trigger intrusive memories. Over the next four days, you would record any unwanted memories that pop into your head. The study uses a blinded design, meaning you won't know whether you received the medication or a placebo, which helps researchers understand the true effect of the treatment.
