结局指标

主要结局

Insomnia Severity Index

时间窗: 4 weeks

The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) is a self-assessment tool used to evaluate the severity of insomnia. The ISI scale consists of 7 items, each rated on a scale of 0-4, with a total score range of 0-28 points. Evaluate the difference in scores between the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) scale at the end of week 4 and baseline ISI scores.
