Filter by:There are few treatment options available for patients once they have failed standard psychopharmacological therapy for generalized anxiety disorder. Existing brain stimulation methods such as rTMS fail to target deep brain structures associated with anxiety disorders; structures such as the amygdala. In this double-blind sham-controlled clinical trial, the investigators propose to establish baseline severity of anxiety in 48 patients, then deliver eight treatments over four sessions of focused ultrasound stimulation to the amygdala. Anxiety severity will be assessed using standard psychometric scales after each session, and at follow-ups.
The investigators aim to evaluate a peer-to-peer patient self-management program targeting symptoms of anxiety and depression in a randomized trial. A total of 234 cancer patients recently having completed primary treatment with curative intent in central Region Denmark will be included. The intervention is a lay-led, group-based transdiagnostic patient education program consisting of seven 2 ½ hour weekly sessions focusing on increasing patient self-efficacy in symptom management of anxiety and depression. The intervention is highly structured and manualized.
Endoscopy procedure is a frequently used method in the evaluation of the gastrointestinal system. Upper gastrointestinal system endoscopy can be performed with and without sedation. Sedation is the controlled sleep of the patient with certain drugs (pharmacological methods). Non-pharmacological methods help reduce anxiety and pain. In this study, a non-pharmacological stress ball will be used. It is aimed to evaluate the effect of using a stress ball on pain, anxiety and satisfaction during upper gastrointestinal system endoscopy.
The purpose of this study is to assess the potential for a non-invasive sensory based intervention to reduce the stress associated with a COVID-19 diagnosis.
Both amniocenteses and especially feticide are procedures that incorporate both anxiety and pain. As anxiety and pain can be reduced when using a distraction, The investigators speculate that the use of virtual reality glasses during these procedures will elevate both anxiety and pain. The investigators will examine this hypothesis by comparing two groups of participants who undergo amniocentesis or feticide, one group will undergo the procedure while using virtual reality glasses and the other without the use of the glasses.
The coronavirus outbreak has adversely affected individuals in the community, as in the rest of the world. However, in order to carry out this epidemic period in a healthy and conscious manner, determining the anxiety levels of individuals in the society and supporting them psychologically is of great importance. In order to achieve this, healthcare professionals working clinically or academically have important duties. This study was planned to test its validity and reliability in order to adapt the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale to Turkish.
In fact theWorld Health Organization estimates that 2-3% in general populations of countries across the world tend to be affected by severe mental disorders (1) Thrombolytic therapy seems to be of great importance in achieving better quality of life in ischemic stroke patients who respond to this therapy(rTPA).
Goal: The long-term goal of the proposed research program is to test the effectiveness of a preventative behavioral intervention and to scale it up for use with broader immigrant populations to reduce stress and mental health disorders. Intervention: This study plan to adapt the World Health Organization developed Problem Management Plus (PMP), an evidence based, multi-component, behavioral intervention including breathing, problem solving, behavioral activation, and social support for immigrants. Hypothesis: Immigrants in the Problem Management Plus for Immigrants (PMP-I) will have significantly lower levels of stress and anxious/depressive symptoms as compared to immigrants in the talk program with Community Support Service pamphlets (CSS). Objective: The current study aims to pilot test the feasibility and acceptability of PMP-I among Bhutanese immigrants 18 years and older living in the Massachusetts.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a disorder of high blood pressure that impacts the heart and lungs. Approximately, 50% of individuals with PH experience anxiety or panic disorders. There is limited evidence on psychological treatments for anxiety in PH; however, results support the use of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Despite the prevalence and impact of anxiety in PH; there are no widely available and/or disease specific pathways, thus highlighting an unmet need in this population. This project aims to develop and pilot, using randomised control trial methodology, a self-management intervention for individuals with PH based on principles of CBT.
The body esteem influences the physical appearance, which can be a social brake. To enhance the socio-professional insertion of persons with severe mental disorders, the investigators developed a group program about self-presentation and body esteem. The study's objective is to understand the body esteem impact on socio-professional insertion, and how to improve that with a dedicated group program, for patients in a psychosocial rehabilitation center
