What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Subjective Report of Headpiece Comfort and Retention

    Comfort and subjective retention of the headpiece were rated via questionnaire for baseline headpiece and investigational headpiece acute and chronic use. Subjects were provided with ratings questionnaires and asked to chronically evaluate the headpiece and associated magnet for comfort and retention every two months. Results are presented as total count of participants who rated retention and comfort as favorable ("no opinion," "acceptable," or "very acceptable") at study close out.

    The baseline/investigational headpiece questionnaires included 2 questions:

    1. Rate the retention of your personal/investigational headpiece (Very acceptable, Acceptable, No Opinion, Unacceptable, Very Unacceptable)
    2. Rate the comfort of your personal headpiece (Very acceptable, Acceptable, No Opinion, Unacceptable, Very Unacceptable)

    Measured: Assessed every two months from month 2 to month 12, values at study close out (month 12) reported.
