A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study tests a real-time, in-the-moment intervention delivered via a smartphone app over six weeks. Participants report symptom intensity, impairment, and negative psychological factors up to four times daily and are randomly assigned to no intervention, music listening, or cognitive reappraisal during weeks two to five. The goal is to see if EMI-based strategies can lessen symptom severity and related impairment in daily life. The trial uses an intraindividual randomization design to capture dynamic relationships between symptoms and psychological factors. The lead sponsor is the University of Vienna, and the study is conducted at Vienna, Austria.
