The pretest-posttest is a randomized controlled trial. Experimental and control groups were formed. A 6-week psychoeducation will be applied to the experimental group.
Approximately 30% of children will experience an anxiety disorder, making anxiety the most common mental health problem among children in the United States. However, few children receive treatment and even our most effective anxiety treatments leave up to half of children in need of additional intervention. Despite the well-established role of parent anxiety in transmitting and maintaining child anxiety, the lack of data on specific parent mechanisms underlying the intergenerational transmission of anxiety is a critical barrier to informing novel targets of personalized treatments. Consistent with NIMH's Strategic Plan, Objective 2.2 to understand risk factors and behavioral indicators of mental illness across the lifespan and to identify novel intervention targets based on knowledge of psychological mechanisms, the current study focuses on interpretation bias, the tendency to perceive threat in ambiguous situations. The overall objective of this project is to empirically test a theoretical model of the intergenerational transmission of anxiety focused on parent interpretation bias as a root cause. Our specific aims are to test theorized effects of parent interpretation bias on (1) parent behavior and (2) child interpretation bias and (3) evaluate potential moderators to refine theories of intergenerational transmission of anxiety and inform future personalized interventions. Our central hypothesis is that parent interpretation bias influences child interpretation bias through its effects on maladaptive, anxiety-promoting parenting behaviors, such as accommodation and modeling of avoidant coping. To test this hypothesis, we will randomize 300 parents of children ages 7-12 to complete four weeks of a smartphone delivered interpretation bias manipulation vs. a self-assessment smartphone app condition. The interpretation bias intervention teaches parents to interpret ambiguous situations in a non-threatening manner via quick, repeated practice and corrective feedback. Before and after completing their randomly assigned condition, parent-child dyads will complete self-report and behavioral tasks designed to elicit anxiety-promoting behaviors from parents depending upon their interpretation of the ambiguous situation (speech and puzzle tasks). Parents will also complete Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) of parenting behaviors to capture the time course of effects. Finally, we will examine downstream effects of the interpretation manipulation on child interpretation bias at pre- and post- visits. We will test moderators (e.g., parent anxiety and gender) to refine theories of intergenerational transmission of anxiety and inform future personalized interventions. The long-term goal of this work is to inform personalized, mechanism-focused interventions to improve mental health outcomes for anxious children and their parents. Future studies will translate knowledge gained from this project into a scalable treatment that can be implemented entirely remotely via smartphone thereby increasing access to care
Objective: This study evaluated the effect of Virtual Reality Distraction (VRD) on dental anxiety among anxious children undergoing prophylactic dental treatment by utilizing both subjective (Venham Anxiety and Behavioral Rating Scale (VABRS)) and objective (heart rate (HR) and salivary cortisol level (SCL)) measures. Method and Materials: This randomized controlled study included 36 6- to 14-year-old healthy and anxious children who needed prophylactic dental treatment and who had a history of previous dental treatment. The eligible children's anxiety level was evaluated using a modified version of Abeer Dental Anxiety Scale-Arabic version (M-ACDAS) and those who scored at least 14 or more out of 21 were included. Participants were randomly distributed to either the VRD or control group. In the VRD group, participants wore the VRD device during prophylactic dental treatment. In the control group, subjects received their treatment while watching a video cartoon on a regular screen. The participants were videotaped during the treatment and their HR was recorded at four time points. Also, a sample from each participant's saliva was collected twice, at the baseline and after the procedure.
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and anxiety disorders are common and debilitating conditions which are often chronic when treatment is not provided. International guidelines recommend cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as the first-line treatment, and research has shown that CBT can be delivered over a concentrated period of time. The Bergen 4-Day Treatment (B4DT) is an exposure-based treatment which is delivered over four consecutive days. B4DT has been shown to induce rapid and long-lasting remission in around 70% of patients. This provides a platform for studying psychological and neurobiological changes associated with treatment response and non-response. The present study will investigate longitudinal changes in psychological measures and DNA methylation in patients who receive the B4DT, as well as a subset will also undergo multimodal brain imaging.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the effect of lavender essential oil on pre-procedure anxiety for patients undergoing ultrasound guided musculoskeletal procedures
With the SuRxgWell study, the investigators envision multipronged benefits from this pilot work for the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) Insurance Services Division (ISD) and its members. The RxWell platform is expected to provide the following benefits: expansion of the use of RxWell to all UPMC ISD members providing peri-operative mood management with advantage of improved peri-operative outcomes, improving saving for the UPMC ISD by hastening the recovery and decreased resource utilization, and addition to the high-value care of UPMC with this holistic approach to patient perioperative care.
This study is an interventional type three-group randomized controlled non-drug clinical trial aimed at targeting the acute pain content and anxiety level of aromatherapy arm treatment with a sesame oil and sesame lavender oil mixture performed with Simple Mastectomy (BM) / Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM). It constitutes a total of 66 patients with the power to represent the universe. However, considering the losses that may occur during the study process, it was decided that it would be appropriate to include 90 patients, 36% more than the sample. Individuals receiving arm massage with sesame oil (Group I), individuals performing arm massage with sesame-lavender oil mixture (Group II), and individuals performing arm massage with paraffin oil (Group III) constitute the research groups. After obtaining the informed written consent of the participants who agreed to participate in the study, the randomization list created from the computer-based random numbers table will be used with the block randomization method to assign an equal number of people to all three groups. In the preoperative period, patients will be given an allergic sensitivity (patch) test of the oils to be used in the study to Groups 1 and 2, massage training will be given to all groups with the show-and-have method in the pre-operative period, a massage application brochure and video will be given, and information will be given on how to fill out the follow-up forms. H1: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with sesame oil reduces the severity of acute arm pain compared to massage with paraffin oil.H2: After simple mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with a sesame-lavender oil mixture reduces the severity of acute arm pain compared to massage with paraffin oil.H3: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with sesame oil reduces anxiety levels compared to massage with paraffin oil.H4: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with a sesame-lavender oil mixture reduces anxiety levels compared to massage with paraffin oil.H5: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with a sesame-lavender oil mixture reduces the severity of acute arm pain compared to massage with sesame oil.H6: After Simple Mastectomy (BM)/Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM), massage with a sesame-lavender oil mixture reduces anxiety levels compared to massage with sesame oil.
