Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Anxiolytic effects of PASCOFLAIR® shall be tested in subjects suffering from test anxiety after single intake by aid of a newly developed, validated method consisting of a combination of eye tracking (following glances) with neurocode tracking (quantitative EEG with a time resolution of 364 ms).;Secondary Objective: Primary outcome measures Comparison of verum and placebo efficacy is performed on electric power in 17 different brain regions within six frequency ranges defined as target parameters in the presence of different stress inducing cognitive tests or exciting video scenes (i.e. quiz , memory test, Stroop test). With respect to emotion parietal and temporal spectral beta power are evaluated, in the cognitive domain spectral frontal delta and theta power is taken as surrogate parameter during the different exposures. Secondary outcome measures Tolerability Correlation between questionnaire items and spectral EEG power with regard to different frequency ranges.;Primary end point(s): Primary outcome measures Comparison of verum and placebo efficacy is performed on electric power in 17 different brain regions within six frequency ranges defined as target parameters in the presence of different stress inducing cognitive tests or exciting video scenes (i.e. quiz , memory test, Stroop test).
