Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The proportion of study participants who were able to create sound and completed the sound stimulation during sleep. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The translation is: - The presence of serious adverse events or malfunctions (using a list extracted from CTCAE ver 5.0 for serious mental symptoms) - The proportion of patients who proceeded to create stimulus sounds and were able to create them - Changes in standardized scales before and after sound stimulation as preliminary indicators of effect (PCL-5, BDI-II, PSQI, SUDs during awake sound stimulation, etc.) - The real-time accuracy of sleep determination by the AI built into the device in patients with PTSD (especially the positive predictive value and sensitivity of slow-wave sleep, and the sensitivity and positive predictive value of awakening reactions) - The positive predictive value and sensitivity of sound stimulation executed during slow-wave sleep - The sleep structure in preliminary home-based sleep measurements and the sleep structure during overnight sound stimulation (determined by EEG) | — |
