Filter by:The objective is to test if Internet-delivered cognitive behavior therapy (iCBT) or Internet-delivered psychodynamic therapy (iPDT) performs better for a population with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), compared to a wait-list control condition.
Sensoril - Extracts of Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha in Ayurvedic Medicine) have shown potent anti-stress, cortisol lowering, GABAergic, serotonergic and antioxidant properties in animal and human studies. Furthermore, controlled, single site human studies have shown the anxiolytic potential of WS extracts.The present study is a Phase II Double-Blind, Parallel Group, Randomized, Placebo Controlled Clinical Trial of Sensoril® for Patients with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. The primary objectives of this study are to assess the efficacy and safety of Sensoril® for patients with moderate or greater severity of symptoms associated with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. The Primary Efficacy endpoint in this study will be determined by a statistically significantly greater improvement from baseline to endpoint in total Hamilton Anxiety Scale scores in the Sensoril® treated group versus those receiving placebo. The secondary endpoints in this study will assess if Sensoril® treatment rather than placebo results in: 1. Greater response rates (≥ 50% improvement in HAM-A total scores from baseline to last value) 2. Greater remission rates (HAM-A total scores ≤ 7) at week 8 3. Greater improvement from baseline to week 8 in HAM -A psychic and somatic anxiety cluster scores. 4. Greater improvements on CGI - severity scores from baseline to last value. 5. A higher percentage of subjects rated as "much improved" or "very much improved" on the CGI - Improvement subscale at the last value. 6. Serum cortisol and DHEA-S levels will be assessed between the two treatment groups. These biomarkers are indices of stress and it is hypothesized that improvement in levels of these stress indices will favor the Sensoril® treated group. Exploratory Endpoint 1. Patient reported outcomes for sleep and calmness will be assessed between the two treatments. Safety Endpoint The safety endpoints will be determined by assessments of adverse and serious adverse events, physical examination, vital signs, EKG, and clinical laboratory measures. Clinical measures with laboratory defined reference ranges and vital signs will be assessed.
The aim of the study is to compare the safety & efficacy of sertraline (up to a dose of 200mg/day) & pregabalin (up to a dose of 300mg/day) for the treatment of symptoms of anxiety in patients with epilepsy.

The primary objective is to examine whether Cipralex® is effective and safe in the treatment of anxiety disorders in youth. The secondary objective is to identify changes in arousal and stress response from pre- to post-treatment with Cipralex® in youth with anxiety disorders.
In this randomized, double blinded, Parallel-controlled study, the investigators planned to give Gamisoyosan extract, Gamisoyosan extract powder or controlled medication on Anxiety of generalized anxiety disorder according to dosage form.
Background: - Some children experience a sudden onset of symptoms similar to those found in obsessive-compulsive disorder that may be caused by the body s reaction to an infection with streptococcal bacteria, most commonly seen as strep throat or scarlet fever. When the body s immune system reacts against brain cells following a streptococcal infection, the condition is known as PANDAS (pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections). The immune system response can be inactivated by treatment with a drug known as intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). Because there is insufficient research on IVIG s effects on the immune system of children with PANDAS, including whether IVIG is helpful in treating obsessive-compulsive symptoms related to PANDAS, researchers are interested in examining whether IVIG is an appropriate treatment for PANDAS and its associated symptoms. Objectives: - To test the safety and effectiveness of intravenous immunoglobulin for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder in children with PANDAS (pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorder associated with streptococcal infection). Eligibility: - Children between 4 and 12 years of age who have obsessive-compulsive disorder (with or without a tic disorder) with sudden onset of symptoms following Group A streptococcal bacterial infections. Design: - Participants will be screened by telephone to obtain medical history and other information, followed by in-person screening at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center. - Participants will be admitted to the hospital to receive 2 days of infusions of either IVIG or a placebo. Frequent blood samples, imaging studies, and other tests will be performed during this visit. - Six weeks after the inpatient stay, participants will return for further blood samples and other tests. Participants who did not receive the study drug, or who received the drug but did not respond to the initial IVIG infusion, will have the option to receive IVIG at this time. - Followup visits will take place 3 months and 6 months after the first evaluation, followed by yearly follow-ups for 5 additional years.
