About this trial
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.
