Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Clinician-rated PTSD symptoms
Baseline - 4-months post-treatment

The Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5) is a 20-item diagnostic interview administered by trained evaluators to assess PTSD in a participant. Based on DSM-5 diagnostic criteria, evaluators ask about the severity of four PTSD-related symptom clusters: re-experiencing, avoidance, negative alterations in cognition and mood, and alterations in arousal and reactivity. The evaluator rates responses on a 5-point Likert scale (0 = Absent to 4 = Extreme/Incapacitating). Total scores range from 0 to 80 with higher scores indicating greater severity.
