Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) occurs in only a subset of individuals who sustain traumatic spinal cord injuries (SCIs). Several previous studies have examined the effects of additive trauma on the development of PTSD and found that a history of prior trauma increases the risk for later development of PTSD. The present study examines additive trauma by investigating the effects of previous combat exposure on the development of PTSD following spinal cord injury. Significant differences in prevalence rates for current PTSD were found for the comparisons of war theater (both combat and noncombat) versus non-war theater veterans but not for the comparison between combat and noncombat war theater veterans. Moreover, for all the comparisons, no significant differences were found in lifetime PTSD diagnoses. This implies that veterans with SCI who served in a war zone have increased difficulty recovering from their PTSD following a spinal cord injury than do non-war theater veterans.
