Primary | Change in Clinician Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-IV (CAPS) Recurrent Distressing Dreams Item | Item B-2 "recurrent distressing dreams of the event" is a single item from the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale. The rating consists of two parts: Frequency and Intensity. Symptom frequency rated 0 to 4. Symptom intensity rated 0 to 4. Frequency plus Intensity ratings equal the total score. A higher score is worse; a lower score is better. This outcome measure evaluates the change in score from Baseline to Week 15. | Baseline to Week 15 | |
Primary | Change in Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) | Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index is a self-report questionnaire assessing sleep quality and disturbances over a 1-month time interval. A global score is obtained by summing the seven component subscales (total score range: 0-21). A score of 5 or less indicates good sleep quality. A score of more than 5 indicates poor sleep quality. Change is measured from Baseline to Week 15. | Baseline to Week 15 | |
Primary | Clinical Global Impression of Change (CGIC) | The Clinical Global Impression of Change is a 7-point scale that rates global change compared to baseline (1=markedly improved, 2=moderately improved, 3=minimally improved, 4=no change, 5=minimally worse, 6=moderately worse, 7=markedly worse). The CGIC is used to determine the impact of treat effects on meaningful and distinct change in overall sense of well-being and functioning. This outcome measures the proportion of responders who were rated markedly or moderately improved at Week 15 compared to Baseline. | Change from Baseline to Week 15 |
