Pain interference (PROMIS) 8–40 27.37 (6.02) 23.81 (8.57) t = 2.41, P = 0.022 0.40 t = 2.72, P = 0.010 0.45
PCL-5 0–80 43.37 (13.64) 35.72 (16.51) t = 2.46, P = 0.019 0.41 t = 3.19, P = 0.003 0.53

Anger (PROMIS) 5–25 16.63 (4.13) 14.94 (4.73) t = 2.54, P = 0.016 0.42 t = 2.33, P = 0.026 0.39
Sleep (PROMIS) 8–40 30.10 (8.51) 26.33 (8.48) t = 2.71, P = 0.010 0.45 t = 2.82, P = 0.008 0.47

ANCOVA t test and corresponding Cohen’s d reflect the effect of the intervention after controlling for whether participants received any pharmacological or behavioral treatment during the intervention period. All P values were significant after using the false discovery rate method to control for family-wise error.

ANCOVA = analysis of covariance; PCL-5 = PTSD Checklist for DSM-5; PHQ-9 = Patient Health Questionnaire-9; PROMIS = Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System.
