Experience Sampling for Healthy Subjects
Trial Summary
Do I need to stop taking my current medications for this trial?
The trial protocol does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. However, since the trial involves MRI scanning, you should check with the study team if your medications might affect the MRI results.
What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Experience Sampling?
The research suggests that measuring patient experiences, like with the experience-based design approach, can improve healthcare services by identifying and reducing negative feelings, such as anxiety, during patient consultations. This implies that Experience Sampling, which also focuses on patient experiences, might be effective in enhancing patient care by addressing emotional and personal aspects of their healthcare journey.12345
Is Experience Sampling safe for healthy humans?
How does the Experience Sampling treatment differ from other treatments for this condition?
Experience Sampling is unique because it involves participants reporting their momentary experiences multiple times a day, which provides real-time data on their well-being and health. Unlike traditional treatments, it focuses on collecting data about daily life experiences rather than administering medication or therapy.1112131415
What is the purpose of this trial?
In a neuroimaging session, study participants will repeatedly and intermittently report the content of their ongoing, self-generated experiences based on an experience-sampling protocol in which self-report ratings will be triggered based on real-time analysis of the participant's current brain state. The protocol will be conducted while participants are undergoing MRI scanning.
