Filter by:An immersive virtual reality (VR) tour of the operating theater before surgery could reduce preoperative anxiety. The aims of this study were to analyze whether a preoperative virtual reality tour shows a reduction in anxiety in children and an increase in parental satisfaction.
This is a study to find out if a device that temporarily alters brain activity (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, rTMS) might be used to change how people with anxiety or related concerns cope with feared or anxiety-producing situations. The study is recruiting people who recently started treatment for anxiety or a related concern. The study involves 3 visits to the Medical University of South Carolina. At the first visit, participants do interviews and surveys asking about anxiety and related concerns, and they also do tasks where they see and react to emotional pictures while their brain activation is measured. At the next two visits, participants receive rTMS, which works by rapidly turning a focused magnetic field on and off repeatedly over the head in a way that passes directly through the hair, scalp, and skull and onto the brain and can temporarily increase brain activity under the magnetic field. After rTMS, participants do two tasks where they see and react to emotional situations while wearing sensors on their hand, arms, face, and head. Each visit in this study is expected to last between 2 - 4 hours. This is not a treatment study, but the study is being conducted with the hope that it will help improve treatment in the future.
This is an interventional study assessing the impact of 'shadowing night shifts' early during medical school, on the wellbeing and level of anxiety of a students during their first official night shifts.
Dental fear and anxiety is a significant issue that affects pediatric patients and creates challenges in oral health management. Considering that the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, along with its associated sanitary regime, social distancing measures and nationwide quarantines, could itself induce public fears, including in children, it is of great interest to explore whether this situation and the necessity of reorganizing dental care could potentially affect the emotional state of pediatric patients facing a need for urgent dental intervention
Anxiety is a common phenomenon among patients who are undergoing surgery. It is a condition characterized by stress, nervousness, fear, unpleasant feeling, and higher activity of Autonomic Nervous System. The current studies demonstrated that listening to music, reduces anxiety levels.
The objective of this double-blind randomized clinical trial is to compare the effects of a dietary supplement based on eschscholtzia and valerian extracts to a placebo after 28 days of supplementation, in subjects suffering from sleep troubles associated with anxiety.
The goal of this research is to compare the benefits and risks of three anxiety treatments that are pragmatic, graduated in the level of resource intensity, and have demonstrated efficacy and feasibility for real world adoption.
This pilot will be used for academic research, in hopes of developing effective treatments for early childhood anxiety. The intervention is an adaptation of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). PCIT is an evidence-based intervention, rooted in attachment and social learning theory. In recent years, researchers have successfully adapted PCIT to address anxiety in a clinical setting (PCIT-CALM). In this pilot study, we will be applying the PCIT-CALM intervention in the school setting, emphasizing teachers as a therapeutic agent of change. PCIT is unique because the child's caregiver is trained on how to use therapeutic techniques, and then receives live coaching via a "bug in the ear" as they learn to implement the new skills. In this pilot study, both parents and teachers will be taught skills to create a therapeutic relationship and address anxiety. After these teaching sessions, the child's teacher will receive coaching in the classroom to implement the skills. The intervention will last approximately 12 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to do a preliminary assessment of whether buspirone is effective, safe, and tolerable in the treatment of anxiety in children, adolescents, and adults with Williams syndrome.
This is a three-year follow up of a previously completed randomized clinical trial (RCT) of a transdiagnostic cognitive and behavioral (CBT) program ("Mind My Mind" [MMM]) compared to management as usual (MAU) in youth with emotional and behavioral problems. The effectiveness trial (Clinical Trials Identifier: NCT03535805) evaluated an intervention for help-seeking youth with emotional and behavioral health problems below the threshold for referral to specialized treatment. The experimental intervention MMM consisted of 9-13 weekly, individual therapy sessions delivered by psychologists in a non-specialist school-based setting. The CBT-methods were organized in modules for anxiety, depression and/or behavioral problems, and the therapy was completed within 17 weeks. The MAU was enhanced by two care-coordination visits to help coordinate the usual care in the four municipalities in Denmark. The trial was conducted in four diverse municipalities in Denmark. The aim of this study is to determine the long-term effects of the transdiagnostic, modular CBT program ("Mind My Mind" [MMM]) compared to management as usual (MAU). The three-year follow-up of the RCT of MMM versus MAU is nested in a larger study of help-seeking youth screened for eligibility and stratified into three groups with increasing severity of problems. Youths with an intermediate level of problems were included in the RCT. We screened 573 help-seeking youths, and we included and randomized a total of 396 youths (age 6-16 years, with anxiety, depressive symptoms, and/or behavioral problems) to MMM (n=197) or MAU (n=199). The study participants comprise the 396 youths and their parents who participated in the RCT. We will use the help-seeking population and the background population in the four municipalities as reference groups. The follow-up study does not include an intervention. The long-term outcome of MMM versus MAU will be investigated using parent-reported questionnaires administered in average three years after random allocation to intervention. All study participants are followed in the Danish national registries.
