我们发现PTSD参与者的阳性软神经体征水平高于那些经历过类似创伤但没有发展成PTSD的参与者。这一发现在两个样本中得到了重复，即越南战斗退伍军人和儿童期性虐待的成年女性幸存者，尽管在性别，年龄，创伤性质和创伤发生时的生活时期方面存在差异。参与者的过去发展史和一级亲属的药物滥用史也将PTSD与非PTSD组在战斗和性虐待样本中区分开来。有证据表明，神经系统损伤和受损的发育史增加了创伤前损伤作为PTSD发展的风险因素的可能性。
We found higher levels of positive soft neurological signs in PTSD participants than in participants who also experienced similar trauma but did not develop PTSD. This finding was replicated in two samples, that is, Vietnam combat veterans and adult female survivors of childhood sexual abuse, despite differences in gender, age, nature of trauma, and period of life when the trauma occurred. Past developmental history of participants and a substance abuse history of first-degree relatives also differentiated PTSD from non-PTSD groups in both combat and sexual abuse samples. Evidence for neurological impairment and compromised developmental history raises the possibility of pretrauma impairment as a risk factor for the development of PTSD.
