Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are often recommended in combination with established cognitive behavioral therapies for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but combined initial treatment of PTSD has not been studied under controlled conditions. There are also few studies of either treatment in PTSD related to terrorism. This study compared combined prolonged exposure (a cognitive behavioral therapy) plus paroxetine (a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) to prolonged exposure plus placebo in the treatment of terrorism-related PTSD. Adult survivors of the World Trade Center attacks of September 11, 2001 with PTSD were randomized to 10 weeks of treatment with combined prolonged exposure (10 sessions) plus paroxetine (N=19) versus prolonged exposure plus placebo (N=18). After week 10, patients discontinued prolonged exposure and were offered 12 additional weeks of continued randomized treatment. Patients treated with prolonged exposure plus paroxetine experienced significantly greater improvement in PTSD symptoms (incidence rate ratio=0.50; 95% CI=0.30–0.85; p=.013) and remission status (odds ratio=12.6; 95% CI=1.23–129; p=.034) during 10 weeks of combined treatment than patients treated with prolonged exposure plus placebo. Response rate and quality of life also improved significantly more with combined treatment. The subset of patients who continued randomized treatment for 12 more weeks showed no group differences. Initial treatment with combined paroxetine plus prolonged exposure was more efficacious than prolonged exposure plus placebo for PTSD related to the World Trade Center attacks. Combined medication and prolonged exposure treatment deserves further study in larger samples with diverse forms of PTSD, and over longer periods of follow-up.
