Registered outcomes9
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Change in ASD Score | Week 1, 3 after MVC | Individuals are asked to complete the 14-item Acute Stress Disorder Scale (ASDS) self-report inventory where each item is rated on a 5-point scale (0= Not at all; 1= Mildly; 2= Medium; 3= Quite a bit; 4= Very Much) that indexes acute stress disorder (ASD). Range of possible total scores is 0-56, with higher total scores indicating greater acute stress symptoms. |
| Secondary | Median reaction time of correct responses (general cognitive function) | Min 30, Hour 1, 6, 12, Day 1, 2, 3, Week 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 11, 12 after MVC | General cognitive function will be assessed using the Test My Brain Digit Symbol Matching Test. Participants will be asked to match symbols and numbers using a symbol-number key shown on screen. General cognitive function is assessed via measuring median reaction time of correct responses (medianRTc) to 'test' trials. Range for medianRTc (ms) is 0-30000. |
| Secondary | Median reaction time of correct responses (procedural reaction time) | Min 30, Hour 1, 6, 12, Day 1, 2, 3, Week 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 11, 12 after MVC | Procedural reaction time will be assessed using the Test My Brain Choice Reaction Time Test. Participants see a set of three arrows, where one arrow is a different color from the rest. The participant presses left or right to indicate the direction of the odd colored arrow. Reaction time is assessed via measuring median reaction time of correct responses (medianRTc) to 'test' trials. Range for medianRTc (ms) is 0-5000. |
| Secondary | Proportion of targets correctly identified (visuospatial processing and attention) | Min 30, Hour 1, 6, 12, Day 1, 2, 3, Week 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 11, 12 after MVC | Visuospatial processing and attention will be assessed using the Test My Brain Multiple Object Tracking Test. In this test of visuospatial processing and attention, participants have to track a set of target circles around the screen (amidst a field of distractors) that move at increasing speed with each trial. Once the circles stop moving, participants select which were targets must identify targets instead of distractors. Visuospatial processing and attention are assessed via the proportion of targets correctly identified. Range for measure is 0-1. |
| Secondary | d-prime identification (psychomotor vigilance) | Min 30, Hour 1, 6, 12, Day 1, 2, 3, Week 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 11, 12 after MVC | Psychomotor vigilance will be assessed via the Test My Brain Gradual Onset Continuous Performance Test. In this task, participants monitor a stream of city and mountain images that rapidly fade from one to the next with no interstimulus interval. Participants are asked to press/touch for each city image and to withhold for each mountain image. Vigilance is assessed via measuring d-prime for identification of each city image, a signal detection-based measure that takes into account both hits and false alarms to provide an unbiased estimate of performance where higher values reflect better performance. Response inhibition is defined as the suppression of actions that are inappropriate in a given context. Response inhibition is assessed using results from the above, by measuring the number of commission errors (failure to withhold responses) where most positive scores reflect more impulsive responding. Range for measure is -4.2279 to 4.2279. |
| Secondary | Change in Pain Symptom Score | Baseline, Week 1, 3, 6, 12 after MVC | The Regional Pain Scale (RPS) will be used to assess the extent of body pain. 13 items will be scored on a 0-10 pain scale where 0 is no pain and 10 is severe pain. Range of possible total scores is 0-130, with higher total scores indicative of greater pain symptoms |
| Secondary | Change in Depressive Symptoms Score | Baseline, Week 1, 3, 6, 12 after MVC | The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Depression Short Form 8b; an 8-item scale, and one question from the PROMIS Depression Item Bank will be aggregated/combined to assess depression. Each item is scored on a 5-point scale where 0 is "none of the time" and 5 means "all or almost all of the time". Range of possible total scores is 0-45, with higher total scores indicative of greater depressive symptoms. |
| Secondary | Change in Somatic Symptom Score | Baseline, Week 1, 3, 6, 12 after MVC | The Pennebaker Inventory of Limbic Languidness (PILL) assesses the frequency of common physical symptoms and sensations. The investigators will use a version with adapted response options for greater consistency across measures, greater precision in response levels, and to allow administration via self-report. 20 items will be scored on a 0-10 scale where 0 is "no problem" and 10 means "major problem". Range of possible total scores is 0-200, with higher total scores indicative of greater somatic symptoms. |
| Secondary | Change in PTSD Symptoms | Baseline, Week 1, 3, 6, 12 after MVC | The PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) assesses PTSD symptoms as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5th Edition (DSM-5). 20 items will be scored on a five-point scale ranging from 0 ("not at all") to 4 ("extremely"). Range of possible total scores is 0-80, with higher total scores indicative of greater PTSD symptoms. |
