Sponsor: Texas A&M University
Conditions: PTSD - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Depression/Anxiety
Interventions: Mobile Health Stress Self Management System, Intensive Cycling Activity
Countries: United States
The goal of this study is to test the effectiveness of a stress self-management mobile health system (smartphone app + wearable sensor) alongside an intense physical cycling intervention to reduce symptoms of stress in a veteran population. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Does a mobile stress self-management system alongside intensive physical activity reduce the amount of physiologically detected, via machine-learning algorithm, stressful moments or PTSD hyperarousals? Can a mobile stress self-management system alongside intensive physical activity reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression on self-assessments like PCL-5, GAD-7, and PHQ-8? Participants will: Use a stress self-management system called First Watch Device (FWD) and confirm/deny detected stress moments on the app for a 2 month period. Use FWD self-management features as coping stragies for mental health and stressors for a 2 month period. Participate in the Project Hero 1-week Ride 2 Recovery Challenge events in the middle of the study.
