Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change From Baseline on the Clinician Administered Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Scale for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) (CAPS-5) Total Symptom Severity Scores After 12 Weeks
The CAPS-5 is a 30-item structured interview used to diagnose PTSD and assess PTSD symptoms over the past month. Information about the frequency and intensity of each item is combined into a severity rating, and the CAPS-5 total symptom severity score is calculated by adding the severity scores for the 20 PTSD symptoms in the DSM-5. Scores range from 0 to 80, with higher scores indicating greater severity of PTSD symptoms.
