According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial enrolled 36 people in total — 18 in a programme called RECLAIM (Reducing Clutter and Increasing Meaning) and 18 in a comparison group called Sorting Practice. The trial was measuring things like how often participants sorted or got rid of items, their readiness to make changes, and levels of apathy (a reduced drive to do things). It is worth noting that a significant number of participants did not finish the trial: 9 of the 18 in the RECLAIM group and 11 of the 18 in the Sorting Practice group did not complete it. The reported data shows the following results at the end of the study. For how often people sorted or discarded items, the RECLAIM group reported doing so on about 38.6% of days between sessions, compared with 29.1% for the Sorting Practice group. On the readiness-for-change questionnaire (scored from -2 to 14, where higher means more ready), both groups scored 10. On the apathy scale (scored 18–72, where higher means more apathy), the RECLAIM group scored 58 and the Sorting Practice group scored 63. For the secondary measures, both groups scored 55 out of 70 on a scale measuring how acceptable and manageable they found their treatment. On a measure of hoarding-related symptoms (scored 0–92, higher meaning more severe), the RECLAIM group scored 33 and the Sorting Practice group scored 36. A pictorial rating of clutter levels in the home (scored 1–9) showed the RECLAIM group averaging 2.9 and the Sorting Practice group averaging 2.2.
