Individuals with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) are at high risk for depression and anxiety, with negative consequences for quality of life, ability to carry out daily CF treatments, and health. CF Foundation and European CF Society guidelines recommend routine screening, treatment, and preventative efforts for depression and anxiety. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) interventions focused on teaching coping skills have a large evidence-base for prevention and treatment of depression and anxiety, but there are barriers to accessing these interventions for individuals with CF. Drs. Friedman and Georgiopoulos at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have developed a CF-specific CBT-based preventive intervention for depression and anxiety with input from adults with CF and CF healthcare team members, called CF-CBT: A cognitive-behavioral skills-based program to promote emotional well-being for adults with CF, along with a training and supervision program for CF team interventionists. CF-CBT consists of 8 45-minute modules that can be flexibly delivered in the outpatient CF clinic, on the inpatient unit, or by telephone, by multidisciplinary members of the CF care team, minimizing additional cost and burden of care to patients. The goal of this study is to test CF-CBT in 60 adults screening in the mild range on measures of depression and anxiety at 4 CF centers, in a prospective randomized clinical trial comparing the intervention to usual treatment. Participants will be randomized to receive the CF-CBT intervention immediately, or to a 3-month waitlist control followed by intervention. The study will measure depression, anxiety, quality of life, stress, and coping self-efficacy before and after the CF-CBT intervention, and also 3 and 6 months post-intervention.
The objective of this study is to analyze the physiological patterns of two groups of patients, one control and one with anxiety disorder and alcoholic abuse disorder using sensor data from mobile devices and wearables. This data will be compared to the data presented by three clinical questionnaires: State-trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), and the Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI-II) in order to determine the feasibility of remote collected data.
This study is a validation study to evaluate the acceptability, feasibility and impact of WASABI (Wiring Adolescents With Social Anxiety via Behavioral Interventions), a mobile application employing a closed-loop technology in adolescents with a Social Anxiety and to prepare for a large-scale efficacy trial in this population. The goal of this study is to evaluate WASABI-a clinician-assisted, adjunct to treatment, mobile application designed to augment the efficacy of psychological Evidence Based Treatments through a closed-loop technology.
The main aim of the present study is to investigate the effectiveness of a disorder specific group cognitive behavior therapy (G-CBT) program for youth SAD, the, Cool Kids Anxiety Program - Social Enhanced (CK-E), developed at Macquarie University, Sidney, Australia. Furthermore, the study will examine how well this program fares against generic CBT treatment.
The present study is a randomized clinical trial of an emotional awareness and expression intervention (EAET) and a mindfulness meditation intervention (MMT) for Wayne State University students with anxiety and somatic symptoms. Each of these treatments will be compared to a wait list control condition and to one another to evaluate how well the treatments improve physical and psychological symptoms, stress, and interpersonal functioning of 120 Wayne State University students at 4-week and 8-weeks post-randomization. This research is intended to provide an evidence-based approach to working with emotions to improve both anxiety and somatic symptoms in young adults and will illuminate how EAET compares to the commonly used mindfulness training. It is hypothesized that both active interventions will be superior to no treatment, and differences between the two treatments will be explored.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the correlation between ANI and pain scores and the correlation of ANI and anxiety scores in communicative patients in palliative care. The chosen event with a risk of pain and/or anxiety is the first bed bath after admission. The secondary objectives aim to identify ANI score thresholds which would be predictive of pain and/or anxiety and to figure out some individual factors influencing ANI scores.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of adding a palliative care intervention for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) to current standard of care. Palliative care is comprehensive, coordinated interdisciplinary care for patients and families facing a potentially life-threatening illness. This consists of specially trained teams of professionals including physicians, nurses, social workers, and chaplains that provide care and support in inpatient and outpatient settings. While the specific assistance and support provided by the Palliative Care Service depends on individual patient and family needs and preferences, it may include: 1. Pain and symptom management 2. Psychosocial and spiritual support 3. Assistance with treatment choices 4. Help in planning for care in the community
The overall aim of this program of research is to decrease anxiety in urogical scheduled patients for surgical intervention developing an nursing comunication instrument: a Guide of Hosting for urogical scheduled patients for surgical intervention.
The purpose of this research is to test the feasibility of an intervention using biofeedback to treat stress and anxiety among individuals with tetraplegia. The expected duration of participation in this study is about 5 hours over the course of about 5 weeks. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a biofeedback training intervention or a control group. After completing questionnaires, participants will undergo physiological monitoring for the purpose of measuring heart rate and breathing. Those assigned to the biofeedback group will undergo 20 minutes of physiological monitoring while also participating in biofeedback training twice a week for 4 weeks (8 sessions) from home. Those assigned to the control group will undergo 20 minutes of physiological monitoring twice a week for 4 weeks (8 sessions) from home, but will not receive biofeedback training. Each session is expected to last 30 minutes to allow for completion of questionnaires over the the phone prior to and following each training session. It is hypothesized that the biofeedback intervention will demonstrate high feasibility and compared to those in the control group, participants who receive the biofeedback intervention will attain greater pre-post reductions in both physiological and self-reported stress.
