Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| As the primary outcome data has a multilevel structure (multiple VAS session scores within participants), VAS scores are analyzed with mixed model multilevel regression analyses (MIXED command), including factor time (length of baseline and before vs. after session). Models have a random intercept for participant. The estimation method is set to restricted maximum likelihood and the covariance structure to unstructured. The immediate effects of VRelax is analyzed by comparing mean VAS scores between multiple baseline and intervention periods, and before and after sessions. Covariates include sociodemographic characteristics and baseline level of stress, symptoms and functioning. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
