PROMIS Sleep Disturbance (PROMIS-SD) Short Form subscale consists of a static 8-item questionnaire. Using a recall period of the past 7 days, it assesses the concepts of sleep initiation (2 items), quality of sleep (3 items), early morning feelings (2 items) and worrying about sleep (1 item). Each question has 5 response options ranging in value from 1 to 5. To find the total raw score for a short form with all questions answered, sum the values of the response to each question and a total score ranges from 8 to 40. Lower scores indicate less sleep disturbance. Negative changes in scores indicate improvement.

The body sway meter allows measurement of body movements in a single plane, providing a measure of postural stability. Body sway was measured using an ataxiameter. Participants were instructed to wear a pair of thin socks for each session. Before starting a measurement, participants were asked to stand still and comfortable, with their feet approximately 10 centimeters (cm) apart and their hands in a relaxed position alongside the body and eyes closed. The total period of body sway measurement was 2 minutes.
Time frame: Baseline and Day 14 (Morning)
Power of Attention is a combination of the speed scores from the three tests of attention, and is established to reflect the ability to focus attention and to process information. Power of Attention was calculated from the sum of the reaction time measured from the attentional tasks (Simple Reaction Time, Choice Reaction Time and Digit Vigilance Speed). Score ranges from 450 milliseconds - 61500 milliseconds. A low score reflects a fast reaction time and a high intensity of concentration.
Time frame: Baseline and Day 14 (Morning)
Continuity of attention is a measure of sustained attention, combining (summed) accuracy and error measures from the choice reaction time and digit vigilance tasks. The number of correct responses (out of 50) for choice reaction time was added to the total number of targets correctly identified (out of 45) digit vigilance minus the number of false alarms (total score of -45 to 95). A high score reflects someone able to keep his/her mind on a single task for a prolonged period. A negative change from baseline reflects impairment compared to baseline.
Time frame: Baseline and Day 14 (Morning)
Quality of working memory is a combination of the scores from Spatial Working Memory and Numeric Working Memory tasks, and is established to reflect the ability to temporarily hold numeric and spatial information in memory. Sum of Spatial and Numeric Working Memory sensitivity indices (SI) (accuracy) was used to calculate the quality of working memory. The quality of working memory score was calculated from formulae that combined the accuracy scores for the original as well as the new (distractor) stimuli. The range for both the numeric working memory and spatial working memory tasks SI are -1 to 1. Smaller scores reflect poorer ability (poorer quality of working memory),larger scores reflect better ability (better quality of working memory). Total score is the sum of Spatial Working Memory and Numeric Working Memory (ranges from -2 to 2). Smaller scores reflect poorer ability (poorer quality of working memory), larger scores reflect better ability (better quality of working memory.
Time frame: Baseline and Day 14 (Morning)
Quality of episodic secondary memory is calculated from the sum of 4 tests: Immediate and delayed word recall, and word and picture recognition, and ranges from -200 to 400. A high score reflects a good ability to store, hold and retrieve information of an episodic nature (that is an event or a name) and a negative change from baseline reflects impairment compared to baseline.
Time frame: Baseline and Day 14 (Morning)
The sum of the speed measures from the two working memory tasks (Spatial and Numeric) and the two recognition tasks (Word and Picture). Speed of Memory combines reaction times from Spatial Working Memory (range:150 to 30000 millisecond [ms]), Numeric Working Memory (150 to 30000 ms), Word Recognition (250 to 30000 ms) and Picture recognition (250 to 30000 ms) tasks. The total reaction time (sum of above 4 reaction times) measures memory retrieval speed which ranges from 800 to 120000 ms. Slower reaction time reflect poorer ability and faster reaction time reflect better ability.

Positive change in sFRESH and sQUAL indicates improvement.
Time frame: Day 14 to Day 17
CSD-M is a standardized participant diary based on expert consensus and qualitative participant input to retrieve patient reported subjective sleep parameters related to the prior night's sleep.

PWC-20 is a reliable, sensitive instrument having 20-items used to assess potential withdrawal symptoms following cessation of treatment. Items are as follows: Loss of Appetite, Nausea-Vomiting, Diarrhea, Anxiety-Nervousness, Irritability, Dysphoric Mood-Depression, Insomnia, Fatigue, Poor Coordination, Restlessness, Diaphoresis, Tremor, Dizziness, Headaches, Stiffness, Weakness, Increased Acuity Sound Smell Touch (IASST), Paresthesias, Remember, Derealization. Each item score ranges from 0 (not present)-3 (severe), where higher scores = more affected condition. Total score ranges from 0-60, where higher score indicates more affected condition. PWC-20 score was imputed as follows: sum of the non-missing items * (total number of items) / (number of items non-missing).
Time frame: Day 17
The BWSQ is a 20 symptom self-reported questionnaire to investigate withdrawal symptoms. Total score is the sum of item scores. Total scores can range from 0-40 with higher scores indicating greater severity of symptoms. Participants rated the degree to which they were experiencing each symptom as either "0=No," "1=Yes-moderate" or "2=Yes-severe". The questionnaire had been shown to be reliable and to have acceptable construct validity in assessing withdrawal symptoms.
