There are 2 clinical trials
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects many individuals who experience a traumatic event. There are a variety of treatment options for PTSD, including psychotherapy (talk therapy) options, as well as medications, such as the drug prazosin. Each of the treatment options available is effective at significantly reducing the symptoms of PTSD in some, but not all, individuals with PTSD. However, investigators are not yet able to predict in advance who is likely to respond to which of the available treatments. Neither are the investigators able to explain what changes in the brain after exposure to a traumatic stressors, and why it results in persistent symptoms of PTSD for some people, but not for others. In this study, the investigators are testing two things: First, is testing whether two simple, easy tests of how an individual's blood pressure changes with standing and how an individual's eye reacts to a pulse of light may be able to predict whether that person is likely to respond to the medication prazosin for PTSD. Second, is testing whether those who have been exposed to a traumatic stress show differences in how their body regulates the response to the stress-signal noradrenaline.
Description: The PTSD Checklist for DSM 5 is a self-reported rating scale where an individual rates the severity of each symptom of PTSD on a likert scale. The ratings on individual items are summed to create a total score, which ranges from 0 to 80, with higher scores indicating more symptoms. The relationship between changes in participants' total PCL scores at different time points and prazosin exposure - and whether this relationship is moderated by baseline biomarker values - will be analyzed using a linear mixed effects model.
Measure: Change in total PTSD Checklist for DSM 5 (PCL5) score Time: The PCL5 total score is assessed at baseline, during each stage of the study, and at the endpoint of the study. Thus, measurements will be scheduled to occur at the following time points, relative to the baseline visit: 0, 4, 8, 9-12, 16, and 20 weeksThe purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of prazosin to prevent cytokine storm syndrome and severe complications in hospitalized patients with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
