NCT ID: NCT06226467 Not yet recruiting - Emotional Distress Clinical Trials

Neurobehavioral Affective Control Training

N-ACT
Start date: March 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to test a new cognitive training program to improve emotion regulation in adults. The investigators' primary aim is to determine whether participating in this program addresses two key features of emotion dysregulation associated with psychiatric disorders: (1) emotion-related impulsivity and (2) rumination. The investigators will further evaluate participants' perceived acceptability and feasibility of treatment procedures. Secondarily, the investigators will examine the effects of this cognitive training intervention on psychiatric symptoms and overall functioning. Participants will be asked to complete eight weekly sessions (over two months) involving cognitive training exercises with a "coach", in addition to a baseline assessment before starting the intervention and post-treatment assessment. Each assessment includes a combination of in-person and remote data collection using self-report questionnaires, psychophysiology, and a neuropsychological battery. Participants will also complete one week of ecological momentary assessment before and after the intervention as well as a set of follow-up questionnaires administered remotely six weeks following their final training session. Researchers will compare participants randomly assigned to complete the intervention without delay to a control group of participants randomly assigned to a two-month waitlist before joining the intervention. Before beginning cognitive training, participants in the control condition will complete an additional pre-intervention/post-waitlist assessment, which will follow parallel procedures to the initial baseline assessment.

NCT ID: NCT05832281 Recruiting - HIV Clinical Trials

Role of CBD in Improving Alexithymia

ACBD
Start date: November 28, 2023
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Given the treatments that are available today for HIV disease, people living with HIV (PLWH) can generally expect good medical outcomes. However, HIV is still a chronic disease and there are remaining barriers to achieving ideal health status and quality of life. One barrier may be a condition that is common among PLWH, called alexithymia, which can make it difficult for a person to name and describe the emotions that they are feeling. As a result, it is difficult to resolve negative emotional states, which can then lead to worse outcomes over time due to ongoing stress and related problems such as inflammation. In this study the investigators will try to find out whether taking cannabidiol (CBD) helps PLWH who have alexithymia to resolve those negative emotional states, which may then reduce inflammation in the body as a result. CBD may work by enhancing the body's own chemical messengers that can help to regulate emotions and encourage emotional benefits. The investigators will compare a group of people who take CBD for 4 weeks to those who take a placebo, which is a substance that will closely resemble the CBD but will not contain any active drug. Study participants and the researchers who are working directly with the participants will not be able to tell which is the CBD and which is the placebo. The investigators will evaluate participants before and after the 4-week study period. They will also collect samples, such as blood, so that we can measure inflammation. The investigators will compare the two groups to see if those who took CBD have lower alexithymia and lower inflammation compared to those who took the placebo. The potential benefit of this study is that CBD may be an effective treatment for alexithymia in PLWH, which may then improve both their emotional and physical health outcomes. This can help to address a remaining barrier to good medical outcomes for PLWH.

NCT ID: NCT05741281 Completed - Clinical trials for Social Functioning, Alexithymia and Sense of Coherence , Bipolar Disorders

The Effect of Physical Exercises Program on Social Functioning, Alexithymia and Sense of Coherence Among Patients With Bipolar Disorders

Start date: February 5, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to: Investigate the effect of applying physical exercises program on social functioning, alexithymia and sense of coherence among patients with bipolar disorders Research Hypotheses - Clients who participated in physical exercises program will exhibit better social functioning and sense of coherence than the control group. - Clients who participated in physical exercises program will exhibit less alexithymia than the control group.

NCT ID: NCT05724953 Recruiting - Schizophrenia Clinical Trials

Alexithymia Intervention for Suicide

ALEXIS
Start date: October 1, 2023
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

Suicide rates among Veterans with Serious Mental Illness (SMI) are intractably high, representing a serious public health concern and a critical target for interventions. Yet, at present available treatments offer modest benefits. Thus, there remains an urgent need to identify novel approaches to address suicide risk in this population. Previous reports have linked suicide risk with poor social functioning. Emerging evidence from basic affective neuroscience research has indicated that effective social functioning is contingent on intact emotion awareness. Consistent with these findings, individuals with SMI at risk of suicide display social functioning difficulties along with poor emotion awareness (i.e., alexithymia). Employing a proof-of-concept design, the aim of the present study is to test the feasibility and acceptability of a novel, blended psychoeducation and digital mHealth (mobile health) intervention with smartphones designed to target alexithymia and poor social functioning to reduce suicide risk in Veterans with SMI.

NCT ID: NCT05666921 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Somatic Symptom Disorder

Alexithymia and Attachment Style in Patients With Somatic Symptoms

Start date: June 15, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

To evaluate whether emotional awareness, attachment style and the ability to abstract and symbolize (IQ) influence the appearance of somatic symptoms. Hypothesis: the investigators expect the presence of somatic symptoms linked to the lower ability of emotional awareness, to lower ability to abstract and symbolize and to an insecure attachment style.

NCT ID: NCT05662137 Completed - Schizophrenia Clinical Trials

The Effect of Recognition and Expression of Emotions Program Applied to Schizophrenia Patients

Start date: January 15, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

As a result of the positive and negative symptoms that occur in schizophrenia, patients with schizophrenia may experience negative emotions more frequently than individuals with other mental problems. Since these emotions can trigger psychotic symptoms, there is a need to develop effective emotion regulation strategies to be applied to patients with schizophrenia. Aim: In this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of emotion recognition and expression program on alexithymia and emotion expression in patients with schizophrenia.

NCT ID: NCT05639712 Recruiting - Opioid Use Clinical Trials

NCT ID: NCT05466214 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Emotional Disturbances

Systematic Efficacy Replication Study of Conjoint Behavioral Consultation in Elementary Schools

Start date: October 25, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this project is to conduct an impact evaluation of the Conjoint Behavioral Consulting (CBC) intervention under real-world conditions as an IES Efficacy Replication trial. CBC is a family-school partnership intervention proven efficacious for children with serious emotional and behavior problems. The investigation will conduct a systematic efficacy replication of CBC to identify important process and context variables in need of attention prior to a CBC effectiveness study. School-based specialists (SBSs) will implement CBC and will be responsible for working directly with parents and teachers who have a student with or at risk for severe emotional disturbance, with more implementation support (i.e., non-routine conditions) than would be expected under routine conditions to ensure adequate fidelity of implementation. The research questions examine the impact of CBC, when implemented by SBSs, on student, parent, and teacher outcomes, as well its effect on mediational pathways. In addition, the research team will gather stakeholder feedback in focus groups to provide information about factors that stakeholders perceive as impeding or promoting CBC adoption, implementation, and sustainability.

NCT ID: NCT05460806 Completed - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

The Effect of Aerobic Exercise in Alexithymic Individuals With Chronic Pain

Start date: July 12, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

It was aimed to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise on pain, alexithymia level and quality of life in young alexithymic individuals with chronic pain. There is no study in the literature comparing the effectiveness of aerobic exercise on alexithymia and chronic pain. Since our study will be the first study to investigate the subject, we foresee that it is scientifically important and will shed light on future studies. In addition, it is planned to make national or international papers and publications after the study is completed.
