本研究调查了27名符合DSM-III-R创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）标准的无药物门诊越南退伍军人和15名非创伤后应激障碍战斗对照受试者的神经系统状况，这些受试者在过去一年中均没有酒精或药物依赖或滥用。受试者接受神经学检查、神经心理测试和睡眠剥夺脑电图。创伤后应激障碍组比非创伤后应激障碍组表现出更多的神经系统软症状。PTSD受试者的物质依赖/滥用和更频繁的发育问题史都不能解释这种差异。脑电图和神经心理实验组无显著差异；然而，多项神经心理测试分数与神经系统软体征之间存在显著相关性。
This study investigated neurological status in 27 medication-free outpatient Vietnam veterans meeting DSM-III-R criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and 15 non-PTSD combat control subjects, all without alcohol or drug dependence or abuse during the past year. Subjects underwent neurological examination, neuropsychological testing, and sleep-deprived EEG. PTSD subjects showed significantly more neurological soft signs than non-PTSD subjects. Neither substance dependence/abuse nor the more frequent history of developmental problems in PTSD subjects accounted for this difference. There were no significant EEG or neuropsychological testing group differences; however, there were significant correlations between several neuropsychological test scores and total neurological soft signs.
