Filter by:Previous studies have accepted a strong correlation between anxiety and dysregulation in respiratory rate. The investigators would like to explore this correlation from an osteopathic perspective. The investigators seek to assess the muscles, bones, ligaments, and fascia related to the respiratory system, mainly the thoracic diaphragm. The study does not focus on clinically diagnosed General Anxiety Disorder but rather State-Trait Anxiety among medical student participants. State Anxiety is the temporary anxiety one feels in certain situations, and Trait Anxiety is the stable tendency to become anxious. The investigators aim to assess somatic dysfunctions in medical students' respiratory systems and correlate those findings with their respective scores on the State-Trait Inventory for Cognitive and Somatic Anxiety (STICSA) survey. The investigators will assess the patient's somatic dysfunction using an osteopathic structural exam, and the STICSA will quantify the patient's level of statetrait anxiety. This inquiry will further explore osteopathic medicine's perspective on addressing the patient as a whole by correlating the close relationship between one's mental state and the resultant physical dysfunctions within different areas of the body. Establishing this correlation can pave the way for a new perspective on treating mental health disorders that is both cost-effective and potentially more efficacious than the traditional method, which has a high relapse rate. Exploring the connection between somatic dysfunctions and state-trait anxiety will benefit the patient's overall well-being and add a new level of care that osteopathic physicians can provide to others.
To investigate the intervention effect of transcranial alternating current stimulation(tACS) on anxiety symptoms and somatic symptoms in patients with anxiety disorder and its underlying neural mechanism by MRI.
The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability following multiple ascending oral doses of ABBV-932 or placebo in healthy adult participants, participants with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), and participants with bipolar disorder (BPD).
This is an effectiveness study into a program ("HiRO") for improving social-emotional development, self esteem and the perceived classroom peer context in primary school students (aged 4-13 years). To this end, schools are divided into three conditions based on the choice of the schools (non-randomized): 1) School As Usual, 2) HiRo without judo classes, and 3) HiRO with judo classes. In all participating schools, social-emotional skills, self-image, emotional problems, and classroom peer context are measured three times by means of questionnaires (both self-report and parent-report). In The Netherlands primary schools are obliged to offer students training in social-emotional development. Schools can decide to develop their own program or make use of existing programs delivered by third parties, such as HiRO. In this study HiRO is compared to school as usual, that is, any other program offered to promote social -emotional development than HiRO. The main questions to answer are: - What is the effect of HiRO on the development of prosocial behavior? - What is the effect of HiRO on the development of emotional problems (depression, anxiety)? - What is the effect of HiRO on self-esteem? - What is the effect of HiRO on perceived peer context? Researchers will compare HiRO with and without judo to "school as usual" testing the following hypotheses: HiRO will result in increased prosocial skills as compared to school as usual. HiRO will result in decreased emotional problems as compared to school as usual. HiRO will result in increased self-esteem as compared to school as usual. HiRO will result in improved perceived peer context as compared to school as usual.
The investigators propose to develop and adapt 'ANZEILAX' smartphone app specifically for individuals with Generalized anxiety disorder. The study will measure the therapeutic effects and safety of 'ANZEILAX' on symptoms of anxiety using pre- and post-treatment scores for generalized anxiety disorder and other physical, emotional, and cognitive symptoms of anxiety
This mechanistic study uses an anti anxiety drug and brain imaging to study the threat processing system and associated brain circuits in people with depression, anxiety disorders and comorbid depression and anxiety disorders. In a double blind, placebo controlled crossover design, up to 65 individuals will be recruited who will have a diagnosis of major depressive disorder (MDD) and at least one anxiety disorder (AD) (AD-MDD group), up to 65 participants will have a diagnosis of MDD and no diagnosis of an AD and up to 65 participants will have no diagnosis of MDD and a diagnosis of at least one AD will be enrolled to participate in an two session study to obtain 150 completers (50 per group). All participants will receive a single dose of Lorazepam and placebo (order randomized) taken orally. After the ~2.5 hr screening session, participants will complete two identical ~5 hr experimental sessions, each of which include a 30 min eyeblink startle session and a 1 hr functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scan session. The total time involved in the study is approximately 10.5 hours. The main questions the study seeks to answer are: - are people with comorbid depression and anxiety different than those with depression alone in terms of their eyeblink startle response to threat? - are people with comorbid depression and anxiety different than those with depression alone in terms of their brain activation in response to threat? - are people with comorbid depression and anxiety different than those with depression alone in terms of their responses to anxiety drugs?
To conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of a culturally adapted Unified Protocol (UP) for transdiagnostic psychological treatment in adults (age 18 and above) with anxiety and/or depression to assess the feasibility and acceptability of UP treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. To assess the estimates of likely recruitment rates including how many approached, volunteered, screened, retained, and complete the treatment and what is the dropout rate? 2. To what degree do participants adhere and engage with the treatment procedures? 3. To what extent do the participants feel satisfied with the treatment? 4. To what degree do participants complete self-report and clinician-administered measures of anxiety, depression, functional impairment, and emotion regulation? 5. What is the treatment outcome with regard to emotion regulation, symptoms of anxiety, depression, functional impairment, and emotion regulation? The participants will be randomized to either the treatment group or the control group. The treatment group will receive 14 sessions of one-on-one individual treatment with the Unified Protocol. The control group will receive no treatment.
The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of VR on post-operative pain and anxiety management in cardiac surgery patients undergoing a coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedure. Participants in the intervention group will receive a 20 minute session with the head mounted VR device on post-operative days 1,2 and 3. Participants in the control group will be treated with conventional post-operative care.
Anxiety and depressive disorders, referred to as emotional disorders, have high rates of prevalence, recurrence, and functional impairment. Transdiagnostic psychotherapy targeting shared features of these disorders has recently emerged. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) for the transdiagnostic treatment of emotional disorders is a promising approach, as results of preliminary studies for use in a broad range of mental disorders are encouraging. Since there is a lack of research on transdiagnostic psychotherapy in Taiwan, the investigators thus propose this 3-year randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of a modified DBT for the treatment of transdiagnostic emotional disorders and to further evaluate whether the efficacy of modified DBT differs in the specific emotional disorders. The investigators expect that patients with emotional disorders receiving modified DBT are more likely to improve clinical outcomes, functioning, and quality of life.
The goal of this multicenter randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effect of music prehabilitation on preoperative anxiety in patients undergoing elective oncological colorectal resection. Patients will be asked to listen to music three times a day starting one week before day of surgery. Anxiety levels will be compared with the control group that is not explicitly instructed to listen to music by using validated questionnaires
