Filter by:Clinical trial with 2 arms ("interval exercise training" or "waiting list") aiming at evaluating the anxiolytic effects of a 6 weeks-long exercise training program in first-time prisoners with elevated anxiety symtpoms
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of preoperative and postoperative anxiety levels on patients using oral information, visual information with surgical photographs and visual information via audio-video. To evaluate anxiety levels, dental anxiety scale (DAS), modified dental anxiety scale (MDAS) and state anxiety scale (STAI-S, STAI-T) scales will be used.
This project aims to rigorously evaluate a potential treatment for inflammation-related Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) symptoms in children. To accomplish this goal, the investigators will conduct a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of Naproxen Sodium, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) in participants diagnosed with Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcal infections (PANDAS). This research fills a gap in the empirical evidence base for the treatment of PANDAS, and will add to a growing literature of empirically-derived practices for PANDAS.
The objective of this study is to assess the impact of engaging in deliberate acts of kindness on resilience (primary outcome); social interaction anxiety and affect (secondary outcomes); and mood (exploratory outcome) of undergraduate and graduate students at Western University (UWO). Recruitment of 200 participants consisting of 150 full-time undergraduate and 50 graduate students, randomized to either the intervention (n=100) or control group (n=100) will be achieved via a mass email to all full-time students at UWO. Both intervention and control groups will receive an email with access to a relaxation and stress management booklet from UWO's Wellness Education Centre (http://studentexperience.uwo.ca/docs/RelaxationAndStressManagement.pdf). In addition, the intervention group will be asked to (1) complete and log/submit a minimum of three deliberate acts of kindness per day for one month, and (2) join the study-dedicated online site to connect with, support, and share experiences and ideas with each other around acts of kindness. Individuals in the intervention group will also receive a list of deliberate acts of kindness ideas, for reference. Baseline, immediate post intervention, and three-months post intervention data will be collected using previously validated questionnaires associated with each outcome of interest, and posted to Qualtrics, an online survey tool. Additionally, immediately following the intervention and 3 months post intervention all participants will complete an open-ended question asking them to describe their overall experience being involved in the study. Quantitative and qualitative data analysis will occur upon the completion of the study.
In the proposed study, the investigators will examine the efficacy of transdiagnostic, Internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) in the treatment of postpartum anxiety and depression. Half of participants will receive the treatment immediately, and half of the participants will be assigned to a treatment-as-usual control condition. Participants assigned to the control condition will be offered the treatment after a 12-week waiting period, although data from this portion will not be included in the current study. All participants will complete questionnaires prior to the start of the treatment, following treatment (or corresponding 8-week waiting period), at 1-months follow-up (or corresponding 12-week waiting period), and at 6-months follow-up (in those assigned to the treatment condition). Further, those who receive the treatment will complete questionnaires on a weekly basis. The primary outcome measures include anxiety and depression. As part of the battery of questionnaires administered after the completion of the program, participants will be asked to rate the program content, the overall service, and their satisfaction with the program.
Investigation of the effect of preoperative anxiety on postoperative delirium in children who will undergo circumcision operation
The aim of this study is to analyze the feasibility of a blended transdiagnostic group protocol for the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders (emotional disorders) in a one-group clinical trial.
The proposed study aims to understand the impact of a 5-Class CBTm Course on variables contributing to workplace resilience among Public Safety Personnel (PSP). This involves examining the impact of the CBTm Course on prevention of PTSD and related conditions among PSPs. This research project will be undertaken using a randomized-controlled trial design. Questionnaires will be completed 1) before taking the course, 2) during the course, 3) after the course, and 4) at three-month follow-up.
The proposed research study will assess the impact of a newly developed, breath-controlled app and custom-designed tablet (equipped with a breathing sensor) on the patient and parent's preoperative anxiety and anesthesia induction experience.
Given the overall lack of treatment adherence/efficacy, side effects of drugs, and the substantial burden of anxiety disorders on the individual and on the national healthcare system, there is a critical need for mechanistic research into the CNS mechanisms that underlie these disorders. Accordingly, the objective of this grant is to use noninvasive neuromodulation to causally identify the key neural mechanisms that mediate the cognitive symptoms of anxiety. This project is relevant to public health because it has the potential to lead to novel repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation treatments for pathological anxiety.
