Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Absolute change in patient-reported anxiety scores at Day 30 compared with baseline.
Time Frame: 30 days
Absolute change in patient-reported anxiety scores as measures using the NIH (National Institutes of Health) PROMIS (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System) questionnaire at Day 30 compared with baseline. The minimum value is 6 and maximum value is 30, and a lower score means a better outcome.
