Filter by:Bryophyllum pinnatum (BP) is a succulent perennial plant from the family Crassulacea (for reviews see Fürer 2016 and Hamburger 2017). Leaf extracts from BP have been used in traditional medicine to treat wounds and ulcers, skin diseases, infections, inflammations, pain, diabetes, hypertension, and cancer. In Europe, BP started to be used at the beginning of the 20th century in Anthroposophic medicine, a form of holistic medicine with an integrative approach. Almost a hundred years later, BP preparations are still often prescribed in Anthroposophic medicine, where it is used in the treatment of a broad spectrum of diagnoses, most often of mental and behavioural disorders (ICD-10 F00-F99), including anxiety, depressive, and sleep disorders (Simões-Wüst 2012). In Switzerland, during the last decade, BP (50 % tablets) started to be used in conventional settings mainly in the treatment of preterm labour (Simões-Wüst 2018, Plangger 2006), overactive bladder (Betschart 2013), sleep disorders (Simões-Wüst 2015), and restless legs syndrome (Von Manitius 2019). Whereas the good effectiveness of BP preparations in the treatment of preterm contractions and overactive bladder is well supported by data obtained using a variety of in vitro models (see e.g. Santos 2018, Bachmann 2017, Simões-Wüst 2010), less is known about possible mechanisms of action that would support their use in the treatment of mental and behavioural disorders. Nevertheless, the observed improvements of sleep disorders are corroborated by animal experiments showing that different fractions of the leaf extract of BP can prolong the pentobarbitone-induced sleeping time (Yemitan 2005 and Pal 1999), indicating a CNS depressant action. Some of the bufadienolides present in Bryophyllum species are thought to be responsible for the sedative effects (Wagner 1986). The aim of the present study is to find out if patients suffering from anxiety symptoms perceive improvements of these symptoms during treatment with Bryophyllum 50% tablets. Since anxiety symptoms are often related to depression, reduced sleep quality, stress, reduced health-related quality of life and the feeling of not being able to control owns life (internal coherence), these aspects will be assessed as well.
An immersive virtual reality (VR) tour of the operating theater before surgery could reduce preoperative anxiety. The aims of this study were to analyze whether a preoperative virtual reality tour shows a reduction in anxiety in children and an increase in parental satisfaction.
This is an interventional study assessing the impact of 'shadowing night shifts' early during medical school, on the wellbeing and level of anxiety of a students during their first official night shifts.
Anxiety is a common phenomenon among patients who are undergoing surgery. It is a condition characterized by stress, nervousness, fear, unpleasant feeling, and higher activity of Autonomic Nervous System. The current studies demonstrated that listening to music, reduces anxiety levels.
The objective of this double-blind randomized clinical trial is to compare the effects of a dietary supplement based on eschscholtzia and valerian extracts to a placebo after 28 days of supplementation, in subjects suffering from sleep troubles associated with anxiety.
This pilot will be used for academic research, in hopes of developing effective treatments for early childhood anxiety. The intervention is an adaptation of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). PCIT is an evidence-based intervention, rooted in attachment and social learning theory. In recent years, researchers have successfully adapted PCIT to address anxiety in a clinical setting (PCIT-CALM). In this pilot study, we will be applying the PCIT-CALM intervention in the school setting, emphasizing teachers as a therapeutic agent of change. PCIT is unique because the child's caregiver is trained on how to use therapeutic techniques, and then receives live coaching via a "bug in the ear" as they learn to implement the new skills. In this pilot study, both parents and teachers will be taught skills to create a therapeutic relationship and address anxiety. After these teaching sessions, the child's teacher will receive coaching in the classroom to implement the skills. The intervention will last approximately 12 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to do a preliminary assessment of whether buspirone is effective, safe, and tolerable in the treatment of anxiety in children, adolescents, and adults with Williams syndrome.
This is a three-year follow up of a previously completed randomized clinical trial (RCT) of a transdiagnostic cognitive and behavioral (CBT) program ("Mind My Mind" [MMM]) compared to management as usual (MAU) in youth with emotional and behavioral problems. The effectiveness trial (Clinical Trials Identifier: NCT03535805) evaluated an intervention for help-seeking youth with emotional and behavioral health problems below the threshold for referral to specialized treatment. The experimental intervention MMM consisted of 9-13 weekly, individual therapy sessions delivered by psychologists in a non-specialist school-based setting. The CBT-methods were organized in modules for anxiety, depression and/or behavioral problems, and the therapy was completed within 17 weeks. The MAU was enhanced by two care-coordination visits to help coordinate the usual care in the four municipalities in Denmark. The trial was conducted in four diverse municipalities in Denmark. The aim of this study is to determine the long-term effects of the transdiagnostic, modular CBT program ("Mind My Mind" [MMM]) compared to management as usual (MAU). The three-year follow-up of the RCT of MMM versus MAU is nested in a larger study of help-seeking youth screened for eligibility and stratified into three groups with increasing severity of problems. Youths with an intermediate level of problems were included in the RCT. We screened 573 help-seeking youths, and we included and randomized a total of 396 youths (age 6-16 years, with anxiety, depressive symptoms, and/or behavioral problems) to MMM (n=197) or MAU (n=199). The study participants comprise the 396 youths and their parents who participated in the RCT. We will use the help-seeking population and the background population in the four municipalities as reference groups. The follow-up study does not include an intervention. The long-term outcome of MMM versus MAU will be investigated using parent-reported questionnaires administered in average three years after random allocation to intervention. All study participants are followed in the Danish national registries.
80 participants studying in the physiotherapy technician department were included in this cross-sectional study. Participants' age, gender, year of being a student, the people they live with, the precautions they take regarding COVID-19, whether there is a history of COVID-19 in them or their immediate surroundings, and whether they have COVID-19 transmission and / or contagion fears during their vocational training, whether there are fears of achieving professional goals and competence because of COVID-19 and / or its consequences were recorded. Afterwards, the participants were asked to answer the questions on the coronavirus anxiety scale, the fear of COVID-19 scale and the cognitive and behavioral avoidance subscales of the Avoidance Attitudes from COVID-19 scale.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a single oral dose of VQW-765 compared to placebo in male and female participants with performance anxiety.
