A Randomised Waitlist Controlled Clinical Trial of the Restory Treatment Program
Sponsor: Karolinska Institutet
Summary
This project aims to evaluate Restory - a newly developed anonymous, iCBT prolonged exposure therapy program specifically tailored for victims of sexual abuse - using a pre-registered randomized controlled trial with waitlist control. The primary research question is whether Restory is more effective than a waitlist control in reducing PTSD symptom severity score, as measured by PCL-5.

Interventions
Restory
Restory contains eight modules over eight weeks, and is a cognitive behavioral therapy program based on prolonged exposure (PE), specifically tailored for victims of sexual abuse. The program comprises all core treatment elements in PE (Foa et al., 2021), together with added psychoeducation on aspects specifically relevant for this patient group (i.e. shame, guilt, disgust, sexuality). Each module contains psychoeducational text, a description of the how the treatment works, and instructions for homework assignments. After completing a module and receiving personalized feedback from the therapist, the participant proceeds to the next module.
