Psychological Interventions for Pediatric Posttraumatic Stress DisorderA Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis

Psychological Interventions for Pediatric Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis, in JAMA Psychiatry

key takeaway: "In this systematic review and network meta-analysis, trauma-focused cognitive behavior therapies (TF-CBTs), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), non–trauma-focused interventions, and multidisciplinary treatments (MDTs) were all associated with a significant reduction in pediatric PTSD relative to passive control conditions in the short term. TF-CBTs were associated with the largest short- and long-term reductions in pediatric PTSD, but EMDR and MDTs had insufficient long-term data."
