About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
Nova Southeastern University and the Veterans trust through this line of research will strengthen community engagement and awareness for the need to recognize and provide treatment models for veterans diagnosed with PTSD. The goal is to improve self-regulatory mechanisms within the racecar simulated-environment with the hope it translates to real-life scenarios.

The design is a single-case approach with the application of range-bound changing criterion design. It will include elements of stress-inoculation therapy, cognitive processing therapy, optimal zones of functioning, biofeedback and psychological skills training. This particular design will allow for the collection and identification of the idiosyncratic differences between each participant which will guide how the data are collected and the tailoring of the intervention.
The group in the trial
- TrialTreatment being tested
Psychological Skills Training (PST). The PST will include elements, both generalized and idiosyncratic, for each participant and is considered an adapted model of stress inoculation skills training protocol. The specifics will include each participant's unique optimal and poor ranges of performance (i.e., IZOFs), which will be calculated utilizing HRV, BPM, EMG, respiration and subjective affect. The participants will be introduced to their IZOFs and then taught general and specific approaches to self-regulation using elements of a mindfulness protocol for BFB in a clinical environment. A dual-monitor setup for the BFB application will be employed.
