Exploration of Cerebral Metabolism and Connectivity in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Exploratory Study of Neurofunctional Modulation of Emotions by Music Therapy

PTSD is a debilitating mental disorder that may develop after experiencing or witnessing a life-threatening event. With appropriate care, treatment efficiency is variable and around 20% of the patients do not respond to psychological treatment. Complementary treatments are needed.

as PTSD implied autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfonction, complementary treatment focusing on ANS regulation, as welle as musicotherapy, may have an interest.

Detailed Description

The aim is to evaluate the impact of musicotherapy on PTSD symptoms, and severity using a RCT Symptoms will be evaluated using questionaires (PCL and quality of life) severity will be measured using neurological soft signs assessment, connectomic functions and ANS regulation
