Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate how depression and/or anxiety could effect the prognosis of the patients post-ACS after PCI.
The investigators are proposing a prospective one-arm cohort study testing the feasibility of a game designed to improve symptoms in adults with mild levels of stress, depression, and anxiety. The study will take place at Madigan Army Medical Center. Primary outcomes include usage data including time, frequency and duration of app use, participant satisfaction with the game, and comments and suggestions regarding participants' experiences using the Sinasprite game over a 12-week period. Participants will download Litesprite's game, Sinasprite, onto their personal smartphone. Elements of cognitive-behavioral therapies like cognitive strategies, diaphragmatic breathing, and visualization are embedded in the game enabling participants to learn to achieve the desired healthy habits. The game's goal is to help Socks the Fox become a Zen Master. Over six weeks, players help Socks to progress by describing and categorizing their concerns, entrusting Socks to "hold" these concerns, and engaging in bonding activities with Socks, such as fishing and meditation. The investigators currently have a prototype and have been told by insurance firms, providers, and self-funded employers that they need to see validated results from a pilot study that shows feasibility with subjects in the target audience before they can consider a commercial roll out. Participants will complete questions related to mood, stress, and well-being at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks. Data will be evaluated in real-time and reports of participant progress will be provided to the participant's provider, with the participant's consent. Data and feedback from this pilot study will be used to update the design and inform the technical development team to further refine the game experience in preparation for a larger randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness of Sinasprite.
Anxiety will be assessed from two aspects, the somatic and emotional. ANGST aims to determine how anxiety correlates with psychological parameters (personality traits, coping strategies and depressive symptoms) and with the outcome of elective coronary angiography (CA).
Objectives 1. To test the effectiveness and acceptability of an augmented internet-supported transdiagnostic intervention in Romania. 2. To assess the cost-effectiveness of the Internet version of the transdiagnostic program as compared to a standard treatment/usual care.
The hypothesis is that pediatric patients with increased levels of anxiety on the day of surgery, in particular at point of anesthetic induction, will demonstrate decreased compliance with assessment in ophthalmology clinic postoperatively.

Preoperative anxiety (PA) affects up to 5 million children in North America each year and is associated with adverse medical, psychological, and behavioral effects. Children who are highly anxious often require more medications during surgical procedures and take longer to recover. While many attempts have been made to reduce PA in children, existing interventions are limited by their expense and time intensive nature. Thus, the current lack of effective and efficient methods of reducing anxiety in children before and after surgery has prompted us to develop and propose to test a new intervention. The investigators have developed a novel,interactive tablet based Virtual Reality program, StoryTelling Medicine (STM), to help reduce anxiety in children undergoing elective surgery, and its associated negative effects. STM is an age appropriate, customizable program to prepare children for complex surgical procedures by guiding them through the hospital settings. The investigators will examine if STM is effective in reducing PA and its adverse effects in children undergoing surgery. If effective, STM has the potential to improve children's and families' surgical experiences, and reduce health problems in the hospital setting and beyond.
Preoperative anxiety has been associated with adverse consequences, including increased anaesthetic and analgesic requirements and overall dissatisfaction with care. Traditionally this has been treated with sedative drugs, such as benzodiazepines, but these can be associated with a sedative "hangover" with sedation continuing into the postoperative period. This is undesirable in patients undergoing neurosurgical procedures, as there is a need to assess neurological status in the immediate postoperative period. Acupuncture at the Yintang point (on the forehead between the eyebrows) has been shown to effectively reduce preoperative anxiety, but studies undertaken in the United Kingdom and neurosurgical population are lacking. The investigators aim to investigate the effect of acupuncture at the Yintang point on preoperative anxiety. Anxiety levels will be measured using two validated questionnaires: the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS).
This is an open-label to double-blind study evaluating the effects of cannabidiol (CBD) for the treatment of anxiety in adults. Participants will use a sublingual (under-the-tongue) solution of whole plant-derived CBD or placebo three times daily for four weeks in addition to their normal treatment regimen. Participants' clinical state will be assessed weekly during the treatment period. In addition, cognitive function and measures of quality of life, sleep, and general health will be assessed at baseline and the post-treatment final visit.
The study will examine the effect of a probiotic supplement (Lactobacillus helveticus R0052 and Bifidobacterium Longum R0175) dissolved in a dairy product such as milk or ice-cream on symptoms of ADHD and anxiety in children. The main goal is to determine if probiotics might be useful as a treatment for anxiety and ADHD symptoms in children. A second goal is to examine the effects of probiotics on saliva cortisol levels. Finally, the investigators are also interested in the effects of the probiotics on children's digestive health.
