Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The primary objective of our study is to measure individual stress reactivity<br /><br>by means of self-assessment and cortisol changes in patients during MR-guided<br /><br>prostate biopsy. </p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The subjective and physiological stress response while undergoing the<br /><br>diagnostic intervention will be associated to potential predictive markers in<br /><br>personality characteristics, habitual stress levels, coping abilities and<br /><br>stress-related brain connectivity patterns. Brain connectivity measures related<br /><br>to stress response, such as the interplay between the human salience and<br /><br>executive control networks [13], stress coping abilities, depression, anxiety,<br /><br>psychological burden and long term stress exposure may constitute vulnerability<br /><br>or resilience factors in relation to the peri-interventional stress response. </p><br>
