PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: PTSD symptoms will be assessed at Baseline or the first study visit and the end of treatment (Week 7)

Population: The mean change in PCL score from baseline to end of treatment will be measured using an intent to treat analysis.

Interval -14.71 to -0.05
-2.13 Units on a scale
Interval -5.97 to -1.71

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: The BSI will be administered at Baseline or the first study visit and the end of treatment (Week 7)

Population: The mean change in BSI between baseline and end of treatment will be measured using an intent to treat analysis.

The BSI is a 53 item self-report scale used to measure nine primary symptom dimensions (somatization, obsessive-compulsive behavior, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, phobic anxiety, paranoid ideation, and psychoticism). Respondents rank each feeling item (e.g., "your feelings being easily hurt") on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (extremely). Rankings characterize the intensity of distress during the past seven days. The total score is the sum of all responses \[minimum = 0 (better outcome), maximum = 212 (worse outcome)\].
