Trial Outcomes & Findings for Stress, Sex, and the Generalization of Fear (NCT NCT03786952)

NCT ID: NCT03786952

Last Updated: 2023-03-23

Results Overview

Peak eyeblink startle responses 20-200 ms following presentation of a startle probe were measured. Startle responses were assessed for each of 3 trial types: (1) following the startle probe alone \[noise alone (NA) trials\], (2) following the CS+ and startle probe (CS+ trials), and (3) following the CS- and startle probe (CS- trials). Participants were exposed to 16 blocks of trials, and each block included 1 presentation of each trial type. During the last 12 blocks, CS+ trials also included the presentation of an aversive US. For each block, startle responses to NA trials were subtracted from startle responses to CS+ trials and from startle responses to CS- trials to create 2 separate fear-potentiated startle response measures: 1 for the CS+ and 1 for the CS-. Average fear-potentiated startle responses to the CS+ and CS- during the last 4 blocks of trials were used as an indicator of fear learning (greater responses to the CS+, relative to the CS-, indicated greater learning).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Average of the responses from trial block 13, trial block 14, trial block 15, and trial block 16 on Day 1

Population: The overall number of participants analyzed is not consistent with the numbers in the participant flow module. Some fear-potentiated startle responses were unable to be obtained from participants due to technical issues (e.g., poor electrode conductance).

Peak eyeblink startle responses 20-200 ms following presentation of a startle probe were measured. Startle responses were assessed for each of 3 trial types: (1) following the startle probe alone \[noise alone (NA) trials\], (2) following the CS+ and startle probe (CS+ trials), and (3) following the CS- and startle probe (CS- trials). Participants were exposed to 16 blocks of trials, and each block included 1 presentation of each trial type. During the last 12 blocks, CS+ trials also included the presentation of an aversive US. For each block, startle responses to NA trials were subtracted from startle responses to CS+ trials and from startle responses to CS- trials to create 2 separate fear-potentiated startle response measures: 1 for the CS+ and 1 for the CS-. Average fear-potentiated startle responses to the CS+ and CS- during the last 4 blocks of trials were used as an indicator of fear learning (greater responses to the CS+, relative to the CS-, indicated greater learning).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Average of responses from all trials on Day 2

Population: The overall number of participants analyzed is not consistent with the numbers in the participant flow module. Some fear-potentiated startle responses were unable to be obtained from participants due to technical issues (e.g., poor electrode conductance).

Peak eyeblink startle responses 20-200 ms following the presentation of a startle probe were measured. Startle responses were assessed for each of 10 trial types: (1) following the startle probe alone \[noise alone (NA) trials\], (2) following the CS+ and startle probe (CS+ trials), (3) following each of 7 generalization stimuli and startle probe (GS trials), and (4) following the CS- and startle probe (CS- trials). Participants were exposed to 3 blocks of trials, and each block included 1 presentation of each trial type. For each block, startle responses to the NA trials were subtracted from startle responses to the CS+, GSs, and CS- trials to create separate fear-potentiated startle response measures for each of the 9 different stimuli. Average fear-potentiated startle responses to each stimulus across all 3 blocks were used as an indicator of fear expression. Greater scores for the generalization stimuli (GS) indicated a greater generalization of fear.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Average of the responses from trial block 13, trial block 14, trial block 15, and trial block 16 on Day 1

Population: The overall number of participants analyzed is not consistent with the numbers in the participant flow module. Some skin conductance responses were unable to be obtained from participants due to technical issues (e.g., poor electrode conductance).

Electrodermal activity was measured following presentation of the CS+ and CS- during acquisition on Day 1. Participants were exposed to 16 blocks of trials, with each block including a single presentation of each stimulus. During the last 12 blocks, CS+ trials included the presentation of an aversive US. For each block, skin conductance responses were quantified by calculating the average increase in electrodermal activity (from a 1 s pre-stimulus baseline) 3-6 s after CS+ or CS- onset. Average skin conductance responses to the CS+ and CS- during the last 4 blocks of trials were used as an indicator of fear learning (greater responses to the CS+, relative to the CS-, indicated greater learning).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Average of responses from all trials on Day 2

Population: The overall number of participants analyzed is not consistent with the numbers in the participant flow module. Some skin conductance responses were unable to be obtained from participants due to technical issues (e.g., poor electrode conductance).

Electrodermal activity was measured following presentation of the CS+, 7 generalization stimuli (GSs), and CS- during generalization testing on Day 2. Participants were exposed to 3 blocks of trials, with each block including a single presentation of each stimulus. For each block, skin conductance responses were quantified by calculating the average increase in electrodermal activity (from a 1 s pre-stimulus baseline) 3-6 s after onset of the CS+, 7 GSs, or CS- onset.. Average skin conductance responses to each stimulus across all 3 blocks were used as an indicator of fear expression. Greater scores for the generalization stimuli (GS) indicated a greater generalization of fear.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Average of the ratings from trial block 13, trial block 14, trial block 15, and trial block 16 on Day 1

Population: The overall number of participants analyzed is not consistent with the numbers in the participant flow module. Some US expectancy ratings were unable to be obtained from participants due to technical issues (e.g., response pad malfunction) or participant error.

Participants were exposed to 16 blocks of trials, and each block included 1 presentation of the CS+ and one presentation of the CS-. During the last 12 blocks, CS+ trials included the presentation of an aversive US. During each trial, participants pressed, within 3 seconds of stimulus onset, a button marked "+" if they expected the stimulus to be followed by the US, a button marked "-" if they did not expect the stimulus to be followed by the US, or a button marked "0" if they were uncertain. For the purpose of data analysis, + was scored as +1, - were scored as -1, and 0 was scored as 0. Average expectancy ratings during the last 4 blocks of trials were used as an indicator of fear learning (greater responses to the CS+, relative to the CS-, indicated greater learning).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Average of ratings from all trials on Day 2

Population: The overall number of participants analyzed is not consistent with the numbers in the participant flow module. Some US expectancy ratings were unable to be obtained from participants due to technical issues (e.g., response pad malfunction) or participant error.

Participants were exposed to 3 blocks of trials, and each block included 1 presentation of the CS+, one presentation of each of 7 generalization stimuli (GSs), and one presentation of the CS-. Participants were instructed to press, within 3 seconds of stimulus onset, a button marked "+" if they expected the stimulus to be followed by the US, a button marked "-" if they did not expect the stimulus to be followed by the US, or a button marked "0" if they were uncertain. For the purpose of data analysis, + was scored as +1, - was scored as -1, and 0 was scored as 0. Average expectancy ratings for each stimulus across all 3 blocks were used as an indicator of fear. Greater scores for the generalization stimuli (GS) indicated a greater generalization of fear.

Timeframe: Day 1 (change from baseline to 25 min post-stress)

Population: The overall number of participants analyzed is not consistent with the numbers in the participant flow module. Some salivary cortisol levels were unable to be obtained due to a lack of adequate saliva.

Saliva samples were collected from participants prior to undergoing the stress or sham control condition (baseline) and then 25 min later. The change in salivary cortisol levels was analyzed. Greater levels indicated greater cortisol responses to stress.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 (change from baseline to immediately after stress)

Population: The overall number of participants analyzed is not consistent with the numbers in the participant flow module. Some salivary cortisol levels were unable to be obtained due to a lack of adequate saliva.

Saliva samples were collected from participants prior to undergoing the stress or sham control condition (baseline) and then immediately after the manipulation. The change in salivary alpha-amylase levels was analyzed. Greater levels indicated greater alpha-amylase responses to stress.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Stress or sham control condition on Day 1

Population: The overall number of participants analyzed is not consistent with the numbers in the participant flow module. Some participants did not report subjective pain ratings.

During the stress or sham control manipulation, participants rated the painfulness of the water bath at 1-minute intervals on an 11-point scale ranging from 0-10, with 0 = lack of pain and 10 = unbearable pain. The obtained ratings were averaged and analyzed. Greater ratings indicated greater subjective pain during the stressor.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Stress or sham control condition on Day 1

Population: The overall number of participants analyzed is not consistent with the numbers in the participant flow module. Some participants did not report subjective stress ratings.

During the stress or sham control manipulation, participants rated the stressfulness of the water bath at 1-minute intervals on an 11-point scale ranging from 0-10, with 0 = lack of stress and 10 = unbearable stress. The obtained ratings were averaged and analyzed. Greater ratings indicated greater subjective stress during the stressor.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 (change from baseline to during stress or sham control manipulation)

Population: The overall number of participants analyzed is not consistent with the numbers in the participant flow module. Some heart rate measurements were unable to be obtained from participants due to technical issues (e.g., pulse oximeter malfunction).

Heart rate (bpm) measurements were aken via the PPG module of the Biopac MP150 system from participants prior to undergoing the stress or sham control condition (baseline) and then halfway through the manipulation.The change in heart rate was analyzed.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 (change from baseline to 25 min post-stress)

Population: The overall number of participants analyzed is not consistent with the numbers in the participant flow module. Some salivary cortisol levels were unable to be obtained due to a lack of adequate saliva.

Saliva samples were collected from female participants prior to undergoing the stress or sham control condition (baseline) and then 25 min later. The change in salivary progesterone levels were analyzed.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Day 2 - following generalization testing

Population: The overall number of participants analyzed is not consistent with the numbers in the participant flow module. Some participants did not complete the questionnaire.

The Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was administered following generalization testing on Day 2. The STAI provides scores (20-80) for state and trait anxiety. State anxiety was used for this measure and was a sum of 20 items from the STAI. The minimum score for state anxiety was 20, and the maximum score was 80. Higher scores represented higher levels of state anxiety.
