Registered outcomes 11
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Clinical measures- PSTD symptoms | The clinical assessment will be administrated at pre-treatment (baseline) and post-treatment (up to two weeks post-treatment). Additional post-treatment measurements will be administrated at three follow-ups points; 1 month, 3 months and 6 months post | Change in PTSD symptoms measured by change in Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Changes in limbic system connectivity as measured by fMRI | fMRI will be administrated at pre-treatment (baseline) and post-treatment (up to two weeks post-treatment). | Using fMRI, specific changes in limbic system connectivity will be assessed. Changes in areas in the PFC and limbic regions, all will be measured at post- vs. pre-treatment times | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Sleep quality- REM latency and sleep latency | Two nights; first, at pre-treatment (baseline) and second, post-treatment (up to two weeks post-treatment). A post-treatment evaluation will take place within two weeks post treatment (3-3.5 month since the beginning of the study). | WatchPAT (wearable technology) will track REM latency and sleep latency . These will be compared and corrected using MANOVA as an outcome analysis. To assess sleep globally, we will aggregated: increased sleep latency , reduced sleep efficiency (the ratio of the total time spent asleep compared to the total amount of time spent in bed) and lack of proper deep sleep (quantified using "deep sleep percent" and "REM sleep percent", i.e. the ratio of the total time spent in deep/REM sleep out of the total sleep time) into one reported value. For full explanation and calculation of index see Goldway, et al. (2019). | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Emotional regulation choice task | Emotional regulation tasks will be administrated at pre-treatment (baseline) and post-treatment (up to two weeks post-treatment). | Behavioral - emotional regulation choice task. A computer-based task designed by Sheppes et al. (2011) was used to assess participants'choice between distraction and reappraisal when facing negatively valenced stimuli. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Self-report questionnaires- PCL (PTSD checklist ) | The Self-report questionnaires will be administrated: pre-treatment (baseline), post-treatment (up to two weeks post-treatment).and at three follow-ups points; 1 month, 3 months and 6 months post treatment | A self-report measure (20 items) of PTSD symptoms reflecting the diagnostic criteria of DSM 4+5. The self-report rating scale is 0-4 for each symptom, Rating scale descriptors are: "Not at all," "A little bit," Moderately," "Quite a bit," and "Extremely." A total symptom severity score (range - 0-80) is obtained by summing the scores for each of the items, higher values represent more severe PTSD. Symptom cluster severity scores is obtained by summing the scores for the items within a given cluster, i.e. for DSM 5: cluster B (items 1-5), cluster C (items 6-7), cluster D (items 8-14), and cluster E (items 15-20). | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Self-report questionnaires- Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) | The Self-report questionnaires will be administrated: pre-treatment (baseline), post-treatment (up to two weeks post-treatment).and at three follow-ups points; 1 month, 3 months and 6 months post treatment | A 21 item self-administered inventory of depression symptoms and their respective intensity. BDI-II items are rated on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 to 3 based on severity of each item. The maximum total score is 63. higher values represent more severe depression. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Self-report questionnaires- State-trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) | The Self-report questionnaires will be administrated: pre-treatment (baseline), post-treatment (up to two weeks post-treatment).and at three follow-ups points; 1 month, 3 months and 6 months post treatment | A 20 item self-administered inventory of state and trait anxiety. All items are rated on a 4-point scale (e.g., from "Almost Never" to "Almost Always"). SUM of scores is obtained, higher scores indicate greater anxiety. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Self-report questionnaires- Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS) | The Self-report questionnaires will be administrated: pre-treatment (baseline), post-treatment (up to two weeks post-treatment).and at three follow-ups points; 1 month, 3 months and 6 months post treatment | 20 items self-administered composing the alexithymia scale. The TAS-20 has 3 sub-scales: Difficulty Describing Feelings subscale is used to measure difficulty describing emotions. Difficulty Identifying Feeling subscale is used to measure difficulty identifying emotions. Externally-Oriented Thinking subscale is used to measure the tendency of individuals to focus their attention externally. Items are rated using a 5-point Likert scale whereby 1 = strongly disagree and 5 = strongly agree. The total alexithymia score is the sum of responses to all 20 items, while the score for each subscale factor is the sum of the responses to that subscale. Higher scores represent higher alexithymia rate. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Self-report questionnaires- Dissociative Experience Scale (DES) | The Self-report questionnaires will be administrated: pre-treatment (baseline), post-treatment (up to two weeks post-treatment).and at three follow-ups points; 1 month, 3 months and 6 months post treatment | 28-item self-administered measure of frequency of dissociative experiences. higher DES scores indicate higher dissociative rates. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Self-report questionnaires- Locus of Control (LOC) | The Self-report questionnaires will be administrated: pre-treatment (baseline), post-treatment (up to two weeks post-treatment).and at three follow-ups points; 1 month, 3 months and 6 months post treatment | 24 items self-administered questionnaire intended to measure internal versus external locus of control | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Secondary | Emotional regulation stroop task | Emotional regulation tasks will be administrated at pre-treatment (baseline) and post-treatment (up to two weeks post-treatment). | emotional Stroop- emotional regulation task, participants viewed fearful or happy facial expressions with superimposed congruent or incongruent words (happy\\fear) and were asked to identify the emotional expression while ignoring the words. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
