Official title
Autonomic and Fronto-cortical Correlates of Script-driven Imagery of Trauma-related Nightmares Compared With Such Imagery of Index Trauma in PTSD Using Ambulatory Physiological and fNIRS Recordings
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Interested individuals will first complete a telephone screening followed by a series of structured clinical interviews to diagnose PTSD and comorbid psychiatric disorders, confirm initial inclusion criteria, rule out exclusion criteria and create an audio-recorded account of their index trauma. Participants passing screenings will then complete 2 weeks of at-home sleep and nightmare diaries and time-stamped audio-recorded reports of dream content upon awakening from any nightmare. They will also wear a wrist actigraph throughout this period, complete 2 nights of ambulatory PSG, and complete on-line questionnaires. Nightmare data will be examined for frequency and thematic similarity of nightmares to a participant's reported index trauma. Participants' nightmare and index trauma reports will be audio-recorded for use as scripts during SDI. The participant will then undergo two SDI sessions on a single day, one with a nightmare script and one with an index-trauma script, during which they will wear the NINscan. Sessions will be separated by 1 hour and counterbalanced across participants for script order.
