Eksperymentalny: Heart rate variability biofeedback
Participants will be asked to practice HRVB for 5 minutes twice per day at times of their choosing throughout the 8-week trial.
In addition to scheduled practice sessions, participants will be asked to respond to just-in-time adaptive intervention (JITAI) prompts to do brief, ~2-minute bursts of HRVB when the device senses autonomic hyperarousal.
Participants will be instructed to complete ≥5 minutes per day of JITAI-delivered HRVB, self-initiated HRVB in response to self-perceived anxiety or stress, or any combination of these two practice modes.
|
The Lief Smart Patch is a commercially available, noninvasive wearable heart rate variability biofeedback (HRVB) device.
The patch includes an embedded electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor and accelerometer that interfaces with a companion smartphone application to deliver paced breathing exercises and just-in-time adaptive intervention (JITAI) prompts.
It is an externally worn patch that temporarily adheres to the skin surface and can be removed by the participant.

Mean 8-Week Change in Pediatric Anxiety Rating Scale (PARS) 5-Item Total Score
Ramy czasowe: Baseline, Week 4, Week 8; Change from Baseline to Week 8 reported
|
The PARS, a clinician-administered measure of child anxiety symptom severity based on both patient and parent-report will be the primary outcome measure.
It has demonstrated inter-rater and test-retest reliability, and has previously been used by our group as the primary outcome measure in a RCT of mirtazapine for anxiety in youth with ASD, demonstrating sensitivity to change.
The 5-item PARS score will be the primary outcome measure for this trial.
Scaled score ranges from 0-25 with higher scores indicating more severe anxiety symptoms.

Proportion of Participants who Responded to Treatment at 8 Weeks According to the Improvement Item of the Clinical Global Impression-Improvement (CGI-I) (Response Defined as CGI-I = 1 or 2)
Ramy czasowe: Week 4, Week 8. Week 8 score reported.
|
The Clinical Global Impressions Global Improvement (CGI-I) is designed to take into account all factors to arrive at an assessment of response to treatment.
The CGI-I scale ranges from 1 to 7 (1=very much improved; 2=much improved; 3=minimally improved; 4=no change; 5=minimally worse; 6=much worse; 7=very much worse), with lower scales indicating improvement (1=very much improved; 2=much improved).
In this study, the CGI-I will be focused on the target symptom of anxiety.

Mean 8-Week Change in Clinical Global Impression Severity Subscale (CGI-S)
Ramy czasowe: Baseline, Week 4, Week 8; Change from Baseline to Week 8 reported.
|
The CGI-S is rated on a scale from 1 to 7, where 1 = normal, not at all ill; 3 = mildly ill; 5 = markedly ill; 7 = among the most extremely ill patients.
The CGI-S will be rated based on the severity of anxiety symptoms.
