Trial Outcomes

Change in Frontostriatal Reactivity to Reward During MID fMRI Task

"The primary outcome measure is functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data collected during a Monetary Incentive Delay (MID) Task. All participants will complete the fMRI Monetary Incentive Delay (MID) task at baseline and at 3 weeks. During the task, participants need to select the correct response during win and lose conditions by pressing a button on a button box in the MRI. Participant's blood-oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) activation response (A measurement of oxygen level that is released to neurons since areas of the brain that are thought to be more active or involved in certain tasks require more oxygen to perform the tasks.) is measured while they performed the task in MRI scanner."

Depressive Symptoms as Measured by the MASQ-AD

The second primary outcome measure uses the Mood and Anxiety Symptoms Questionnaire - Anhedonic Depression Scale (MASQ-AD) to examine symptom change. All participants will complete the MASQ-AD at each study visit, which measures their current symptoms of depression and anxiety. Scores range from 22 to 110 with lower scores reflecting a better outcome. (NCT03740009)
