Older adults represent the largest group of  CH suffers due to increasing severity with age. Often, Veterans with CH  are seen in the VA system and the status of their hoarding is never  assessed. Providers are treating patients for other health and social  service issues yet missing an important source of disability and  distress. This insidious, often undetected condition leads to greater  medical and social disability and is costly to the VA system as patients  continue to decompensate. When CH is even detected, patients in the VA  receive indefinite case management and inadequate treatment. The cases  we know about have caused significant financial burden to our system.  Most importantly, CH causes significant impairment and poor quality of  life for our Veterans, particularly our older Veterans. Unfortunately,  we know nothing about how to treat late life CH. Nor do we know how  neurocognitive features impact treatment response, which we strongly  suspect influence treatment outcome. CH is a potentially treatable  source of disability in the VA system &#8211; one that the VA must research  and treat. This study represents the first randomized controlled trial  of a novel intervention for the treatment of CH in older Veterans&#8230;Read more at <a href=\"http:\/\/clinicaltrialsfeeds.org\/clinical-trials\/show\/NCT01227057\">ClinicalTrialsFeeds.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Or also: <a href=\"http:\/\/clinicaltrials.gov\/ct2\/show\/NCT01227057?recr=Open&amp;cond=Compulsive+hoarding&amp;rank=1\">ClinicalTrials.gov<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Official Title:\u00a0\u201cTreatment of Late Life Compulsive Hoarding\u201d Study Primary Completion Date:\u00a0October 2015 -The purpose of this investigation is to examine treatment outcome of a new intervention for hoarding in older adults compared to standard case management for hoarding.
