Registered outcomes5

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange in Amygdala Reactivity10 days (measured at pre-treatment and post-treatment)
The neural measure of difference in amygdala reactivity (measured by fMRI) to target phobic animals compared to control phobic animals from pre-treatment to post-treatment. Lower numbers (i.e. more negative numbers) indicate greater amygdala decrease and and better outcomes.
PrimarySubjective Fear Post-treatment Minus Pre-treatment10 days (measured at pre-treatment and post-treatment)Subjective Fear Ratings of images of targeted phobic stimuli Minimum score of 0, Maximum score of 180, higher scores mean worse outcome.
SecondarySkin Conductance Response: Physiological Arousal Post-treatment Minus Pre-treatment10 days (measured at pre-treatment and post-treatment)Skin conductance to image presentation of targeted phobic stimuli post-treatment minus pre-treatment
SecondaryFear Survey Schedule10 days (measured at pre-treatment and post-treatment)Subjective fear ratings of a list of typical phobic stimuli Minimum score of 40, maximum of 200, higher scores mean worse outcome.
SecondaryStroop Task Post-treatment Minus Pre-treatment10 days (measured at pre-treatment and post-treatment)Measure of preferential allocation of attentional resources measured in reaction time (seconds) for visual presentation of the targeted phobic stimulus
