Towards predicting posttraumatic stress symptom severity using portable EEG-derived biomarkers.

ABSTRACT: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a heterogeneous mental health disorder that can develop following a traumatic experience. Understanding its neurobiological basis is crucial to advance early diagnosis and treatment. Electroencephalography (EEG) can be used to explore the neurobiological basis of PTSD. However, only limited research has explored mobile EEG, which is important for scalability. This proof-of-concept study delves into mobile EEG-derived biomarkers for posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptom severity and their potential implications. Participants with partial PTSD, defined as meeting for at least three out of four symptom clusters, including hyperarousal symptoms, were enrolled in the study. Over four weeks, we measured PTS symptom severity using the PTSD checklist for DSM-5
