NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Treating children for traumatic stress appears to be more effective than routine care or no treatment, according to results of a new study.

"Despite the expenditure of large sums of public monies to ameliorate the consequences of childhood trauma, little is known about the efficacy of treatment for traumatized children and their families," say Drs. Claude M. Chemtob and Tisha L. Taylor of Mount Sinai School of Medicine, in New York.
