Abstract
Introduction
Post-traumatic stress disorder and substance use disorders commonly co-occur and are associated with worse health outcomes. Currently, only psychosocial therapies are specifically recommended for use in the co-occurring population, but these come with numerous barriers to access and engagement. This study aims to identify potential pharmacological treatments to enhance treatment options and outcomes for this population.
Methods
This systematic review identified studies on pharmacological treatment of co-occurring PTSD and SUD in humans, using validated outcome measurements, with study design of RCT, observational study, case control study or cohort study.
Results
29 studies were identified for inclusion, looking at a range of 16 pharmacotherapies. A majority concentrated on alcohol use disorders and males, with many focused on the veteran population.
Conclusions
This is an area for further research, inclusive of more SUDs, genders and civilians. Future studies utilizing consistent dosing, populations and measurement outcomes will allow for future meta-analysis.
