The purpose of this study is to obtain pilot data in preparation for future research designed to formally evaluate the effectiveness of the Chilipad for patients with PTSD
This is a prospective cohort, before-after trial. 20 subjects with PTSD or PTSD symptoms (per patient report) will use the Chilipad nightly for 5 weeks after completing a short battery of PROMIS questionnaires. During the 5-week study intervention, subjects will also wear an OURA ring on a finger. The OURA week measures sleep duration and quality. 5 weeks after study enrollment, patients will repeat the battery or PROMIS questionnaires and will return the Chilipad and OURA rings, both of which will be provided free of charge by the Chilipad and OURA manufacturers

| OURA ring total sleep metric | OURA is a ring that is worn on a finger and collects information about the quality and duration of sleep. The total sleep metric will show hours of sleep each night. | Nightly for 5 weeks |
| OURA ring REM metric | OURA is a ring that is worn on a finger and collects information about the quality and duration of sleep. The total REM metric will show the total amount of REM sleep each night. | Nightly for 5 weeks |
| OURA ring DEEP sleep metric | OURA is a ring that is worn on a finger and collects information about the quality and duration of sleep. The DEEP sleep metric will show the number of hours of deep sleep each night. | Nightly for 5 weeks |
| OURA ring Efficiency metric | OURA is a ring that is worn on a finger and collects information about the quality and duration of sleep. Efficiency means the percentage of time spent sleeping while in bed. | Nightly for 5 weeks |
| OURA ring latency metric | OURA is a ring that is worn on a finger and collects information about the quality and duration of sleep. Latency is the amount of time it takes a study participant to fall to sleep. | Nightly for 5 weeks |
| OURA ring timing metric | OURA is a ring that is worn on a finger and collects information about the quality and duration of sleep. The timing records individual circadian rhythms. | Nightly for 5 weeks |
| OURA ring sleep score metric | OURA is a ring that is worn on a finger and collects information about the quality and duration of sleep. The sleep score metric will be determined by total sleep, efficiency, disturbances, REM sleep, deep sleep, sleep latency, sleep timing and light sleep.The sleep score ranges from 0-100. Higher scores denotes better outcomes. | Nightly for 5 weeks |
| OURA ring resting heart rate | OURA is a ring that is worn on a finger and collects information about the quality and duration of sleep. The resting heart rate will be recorded. | Nightly for 5 weeks |
| OURA ring heart rate variability | OURA is a ring that is worn on a finger and collects information about the quality and duration of sleep. The heart rate variability will be recorded. | Nightly for 5 weeks |
| OURA ring respiration rate | OURA is a ring that is worn on a finger and collects information about the quality and duration of sleep. The respiration rate will be recorded. | Nightly for 5 weeks |
| OURA ring lowest resting heart rate | OURA is a ring that is worn on a finger and collects information about the quality and duration of sleep. The lowest resting heart rate will be recorded. | Nightly for 5 weeks |
| OURA ring readiness score | OURA is a ring that is worn on a finger and collects information about the quality and duration of sleep. The readiness score is calculated taking in account sleep balance, previous day activity, activity balance, body temperature, resting heart rate (rhr), recovery index . Score will be between 0 and 100. A lower score indicates a worse outcome. | Nightly for 5 weeks |
