Abstract
Abstract Veterans with and without a post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) diagnosis were evaluated for presence of Sensory Modulation Challenges (SMC) using the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile and other measures. Those with PTSD showed significant SMC symptoms. Presence of SMC can contribute to explaining the PTSD symptoms of hyperarousal, avoidance/numbing, and Criterion E cited in the American Psychiatric Association Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (5th ed.) (DSM-5-TR). Participants also received a consultation and handout explaining sensory diet, the occupational therapy self-treatment for their issues, especially hyperarousal. Despite the small sample size of the non-PTSD group, findings indicate that veterans with PTSD should be tested and treated for Sensory Modulation Challenges.
