NCT ID: NCT06341829 Not yet recruiting - Parkinson Disease Clinical Trials

Visuospatial and Affective Abilities in Parkinson Disease

Start date: April 17, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of the study is to investigate whether prismatic adaptation (AP), a non-invasive neuromodulation technique, that involves the use of lenses that deviate the visual field, can modulate alexithyima and performance in visuospatial tasks in patients with Parkinson disease. Furthermore, brain activity during the prismatic adaptation and post-adaptation phases will be recorded using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and high-density electroencephalography (HD-EEG).

NCT ID: NCT06337539 Not yet recruiting - Depression Clinical Trials

Precision Psychiatry for Depression: Immune Response and Affective Symptoms as Predictors of Response to Antidepressants

LYMPHODEP
Start date: April 1, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Objectives: To identify in patients with major depression different peripheral markers of neuroinflammation in relation to affective symptoms (anxiety, depression, irritability), fatigue and cognitive symptoms; and its relationship with the response to antidepressant treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Methodology: This is a prospective observational cohort study in patients with major depression naturally subjected to treatment with SSRIs. For this, 30 patients with major depression attended in the Outpatient Psychiatry Consultations will be selected. All of them will be evaluated at baseline and after 3 months of treatment, collecting demographic and clinical variables, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5th edition (DSM-5) psychiatric diagnoses, psychopathological scales and immunological and biochemical variables. The correlation between immunological markers and affective and cognitive symptoms at baseline, as well as their variation with treatment, will be analyzed. A group of 20 healthy subjects will be used as a control group. Subsequently, a bivariate comparative analysis will be carried out, where the statistically significant or marginally significant variables associated with psychopathological variables will be used to build a multivariate binary logistic regression model.

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

Neurobehavioral Affective Control Training

N-ACT
Start date: May 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.
