Filter by:RATIONALE: Physical activity, diet, and counseling may help breast and colorectal cancer survivors to lose weight and improve their quality of life. PURPOSE: This phase II trial studies how well exercise, diet, and counseling work in improving physical activity and weight loss in overweight women who are breast and colorectal cancer survivors.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about two different types of psychotherapy to help individuals who have body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). BDD is a severe, often chronic, and common disorder consisting of distressing or impairing preoccupation with perceived defects in one's physical appearance. Individuals with BDD have very poor psychosocial functioning and high rates of hospitalization and suicidality. Because BDD differs in important ways from other disorders, psychotherapies for other disorders are not adequate for BDD. Despite BDD's severity, there is no adequately tested psychosocial treatment (psychotherapy) of any type for this disorder. This study will compare the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Supportive Psychotherapy as well as predictors of improvement.
Aim of the study is to evaluate if Temperament, Anxiety and Depression can affect Immunity and influence Survival in Colorectal Cancer Patients
It has been shown that emotional health issues, such as state anxiety, are more prevalent in patients suffering from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) compared to physically healthy subjects. Such findings have to be taken into consideration when making an educated guess that psychological factors such as depression and anxiety in particular interact with the course of Crohns disease. Therefore the treatment of the underlying disease may have a significant influence on the level of psychological disorders. Several studies have shown that treatment with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) antibodies ameliorates the emotional/psychological status of patients, however the impact of adalimumab therapy on anxiety correlated with the status of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) remains unclear. The primary objective of this study was to describe and evaluate changes in levels of anxiety assessed by validated patient questionnaires after 6 months of treatment with adalimumab.
Allergy skin tests are occasionally associated with pain and anxiety in patients undergoing this procedure. The investigators intend to examine if medical clowns compared with local anesthetic cream can decrease these feelings in children.
This will be a phase I, single centre, randomised, double blind, double-dummy, placebo controlled, parallel group single-dose study in healthy volunteers. The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of a single-dose administration of GSK424887, a potent, selective competitive antagonist of the human Neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor and a potent inhibitor of the human serotonin transporter (SERT), at the maximum dosage of 100 mg versus placebo and versus citalopram (20 mg) on emotional processing in healthy male volunteers. Pharmacokinetics and safety following oral administration of GSK424887 will be also evaluated. An Emotional Test Battery (ETB) previously used to characterise the effects of antidepressants on positive and negative emotion processing in Healthy Volunteers and patients will be used. We hypothesise that GSK424887 will modulate emotional information processing acutely. We anticipate that these effects may be manifest at sub-effective levels of NK1 and SERT receptor occupancy, thus providing pharmacodynamic evidence of the synergistic interaction of the two mechanisms in humans.
Single-blind randomized controlled trial aimed to assess stress and anxiety levels in Nursing School students of Beneficence Portuguese Hospital and review the effectiveness of true and placebo auriculotherapy.
This study will examine the efficacy of a computerized cognitive behavioral therapy (CCBT) program for children with anxiety disorders in community health centers. The first phase of the study will offer insight into the feasibility of providing this intervention in community health centers, while the second phase will compare CCBT to treatment as usual.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether tailored internet-administrated CBT is a feasible approach in the treatment of anxiety symptoms and comorbid anxiety and depressive symptoms in a clinical setting.
Dental fear and anxiety in children constitue a crucial challenge to dental care delivery as well as future behavior related to dental problems in children. A common cause of such anxiety and fear is the procedural intervention that uses needles and syringes since a visual impact due to the needle acts as a deterrent to the child's cooperation during dental procedures. We therefore improvised the syringe such that it will camouflage the needle. We hypothesized that the use of this needle will alleviate the child's anxiety and therefore will demonstrate improved outcomes related to pain, fear and anxiety. This study is a group randomized trial to test the efficacy of the camouflage syringe as compared to the conventional syringe in children.
