CAPS-5 for PTSD

Based on the public registry summary, this study is trying to understand: Given the high prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in veterans and active duty military, the focus of this research study is to test the reliability of two new PTSD assessments, the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5) and the PTSD Symptom Scale. The study team can confirm the exact objective and what it means for you.

This appears to be a biological / biomarker / imaging study involving CAPS-5, PSSI-5, CAPS-IV. The phase is not clearly listed in the public registry. Phase is mostly relevant for medication studies and some device studies. For this study, it may be more useful to look at what is required, the duration, visits, and eligibility criteria.

This study may concern people with ptsd; age range: Over 18 Years. The criteria appear strict, but you should not assume you are eligible. The study team must confirm diagnosis, age, exclusions, available locations, and next steps.

You may need to provide biological samples, complete lab tests, or take part in imaging or measurement procedures. The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask whether some steps can be done remotely.

If the study involves samples, imaging, or biomarkers, ask what is collected, how it is stored, who can access results, whether there may be discomfort, and whether results are shared with you. For any mental health study, also ask who to contact if you feel worse, whether participation may affect current treatment, whether you can stop, and who confirms eligibility.

The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask which sites are open, how many visits are expected, whether any steps can be done remotely, and whether travel costs or compensation are listed.

This study is sponsored by U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command, which appears to be unknown or unclear. If available, it can be useful to check the sponsor website, collaborators, investigator affiliation, and the official registry before deciding. HopeStage does not judge the quality of a sponsor or researcher, but helps you identify what to verify.

The registry indicates that this study is currently recruiting. This does not mean you are eligible: the study team must confirm the criteria, available locations, and next steps. The registry lists an estimated enrollment of 950 participants.
