Key PointsQuestionCan therapeutic exposure using virtual reality (VR) be augmented with simultaneously applied transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to reduce symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)? FindingsIn this randomized clinical trial including 54 US military veterans with warzone-related trauma, active tDCS delivered during VR exposure significantly improved self-reported PTSD symptoms, reduced measures of autonomic arousal, and improved social functioning compared with sham stimulation during VR exposure. This trial replicated key findings from a prior pilot study. MeaningThese findings suggest that the use of combined VR exposure plus tDCS could be a promising treatment for warzone-related PTSD.

Key PointsQuestionIs prescription stimulant treatment for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder during pregnancy associated with neurodevelopmental disorders in children? FindingsIn this cohort study including 7065 pregnancies exposed to amphetamine/dextroamphetamine and 1123 pregnancies exposed to methylphenidate in the second half of pregnancy, neither medication was associated with autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, or a composite of any neurodevelopmental disorder in children after careful adjustment for confounding by indication through various design and analytic approaches. MeaningThese findings suggest that amphetamine/dextroamphetamine and methylphenidate exposure during pregnancy are not likely to meaningfully increase the risk of childhood neurodevelopmental disorders.
This cohort study investigates the association of optimism with age-related changes in performance-based measures of physical functioning.
