Sponsor's own description

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a set of symptoms that can be developed as a result of exposure to a traumatic event or events that can range in prevalence from 25% to 75%. While therapeutic management combines psychotherapy, drug therapy and social support, some PTSD remain resistant after early and appropriate initial treatment. In terms of physiopathology, several studies have shown that parasympathetic activity is significantly decreased in patients with PTSD. In scuba diving, the cardio-vascular stresses associated with submersion of the subject and the lungs due to breathing in a regulator are at the origin of a reflex activation of the parasympathetic nervous system. The objective is to study the effects of the scuba diving activities-induced autonomic parasympathetic nervous system activation on the symptomatic progression of patients with PTSD. The study population will consist of patients monitored and treated for PTSD following the attacks of 14/07/2016 in Nice (France).
