Background: Sexual assault often triggers posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a potentially chronic severe mental disorder. Most guidelines recommend selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and trauma-focused psychotherapies as treatment options. Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), adapted for PTSD (IPT-PTSD), focuses on interpersonal consequences of trauma rather than confronting the itself. Studies have found IPT-PTSD efficaciously reduced symptoms with limited attrition. No efficacy trials compared SSRI. We hypothesized IPT would reduce PTSD, anxiety, depressive more sertraline among women following recent sexual assault.Objectives: To compare to SSRI in 14-week randomized clinical trial assault.Methods: Seventy-four who had suffered last six months were randomly assigned 14 weeks (n = 39) or 35). Instruments assessed symptoms. This was conducted São Paulo, Brazil, using Clinician-Administered Scale-5 (CAPS-5) primary outcome measure.Results: Both treatments significantly symptoms, without between-group differences. CAPS-5 mean decreased from 42.5 (SD 9.4) 27.1 15.9) 42.6 9.1) 29.1 15.5) IPT-PTSD. Attrition high both arms (p .40).Conclusions: showed within-group improvements differences between PTSD. Our findings suggest that non-exposure-based may benefit patients although we did not directly these an exposure therapy.Brazilian Clinical Trials Registry RBR-3z474z.
