A recent study has identified patterns in four biomarkers, measurable through a simple blood test, among individuals suffering or at high risk of post-traumatic stress disorder . These biomarkers could potentially predict, diagnose, or monitor treatment responses for PTSD, a disorder currently diagnosed based on symptoms that can overlap with other conditions. The research, involving over 1,000 service members, offers insights into PTSD’s natural history and intervention effectiveness.
“This study provides valuable insights into the natural history of PTSD and the effectiveness of interventions, which can inform the development of treatment guidelines and improve the care for individuals suffering from PTSD,” said Stacy-Ann Miller, a researcher at Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Silver Spring, Maryland.
Biomarkers, which reflect biological processes, can provide an objective measure of physiological changes associated with diseases such as PTSD. For the study, researchers analyzed four biomarkers in blood samples from active-duty service members taken before a 10-month deployment, three days after their return and three to six months after their return. The biomarkers have previously been linked to stress, depression, anxiety and mental health disorders.
