Adjustment Disorders in the US Military: Disease Trajectories and ADNM-20-Mil Validation
NCT06885554 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Adjustment disorders (AjDs) - a group of mental health diagnosis given following exposure to a stressor that results in preoccupation, failure to adapt, and/or functional impairments - have consistently remained the most common mental health diagnoses in the US military across branches for more than a decade. AjDs can be dangerous and negatively affect military readiness by reducing availability of members and through use of resources to allow evacuations from combat. Diagnosing AjDs can be challenging as it is closely related to other well-defined mental health disorders and assessment and research on AjDs have historically been difficult due to the lack of clarity in the disorder's diagnostic criteria. However, the Adjustment Disorder New Module (ADNM-20) is a recently developed instrument that has shown promise. In previous work, our team adapted the ADNM-20 to the US military population after finding that there was a need for an AjD-specific diagnostic instrument in this population; this instrument is referred to as the ADNM-20-Mil. The principal focus of this study is the longitudinal psychometric validation of the ADNM-20-mil. However, another goal of the proposed study is to pilot test the audio-visual stimulation device SANA for AjD as pilot testing such a device for AjD is a needed next step. Furthermore, the proposed, longitudinal study provides an ideal platform to test the ADNM-20-Mil's sensitivity to change in the context of this pilot trial to address this critical area of need.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06885554
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06885554 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 60 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, which has 79 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Adjustment Disorders appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which SANA is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06885554 reports 3 study locations spanning 3 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include California, Ohio, Texas. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
