Filter by:After an initial phone screen process, approximately 50 participants will be enrolled and evaluated/screened in person after consenting to achieve 30 eligible participants with a principal diagnosis of GAD, panic disorder, or social anxiety disorder and high anxiety sensitivity (Anxiety Sensitivity Index score =20). Participants will be given a choice of either high intensity interval training (HIIT) or walking interventions, which will be completed over the course of 8 weeks. The goal of the study is to 1) obtain pilot data comparing the efficacy of HIIT vs. walking for effects on psychiatric, functioning and immune outcomes, 2) to identify adherence levels given the choice of exercise intensity, and 3) to identify proportion of individuals opting for each intervention. Results from this pilot study will be used to inform future grant applications including a K award.
This study evaluated the use of bergamot aromatherapy in the treatment of anxiety in a medical office setting among children who are diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. H
In this study, we are planning to evaluate whether listening to the music of the patient's choice preoperatively contributes to postoperative anxiety.
Patients attending the rapid access gynaecology clinic with a suspicion of endometrial cancer are understandably nervous. Few studies have quantified anxiety and distress of patients in this group. This study surveys anxiety and stress levels of women attending clinic (by filling in an anonymous questionnaire). Additionally, in women who need a tissue biopsy, women are asked to rate their pain scores.
This study is a randomized controlled trial examining the effectiveness of a transdiagnostic cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT) in improving Veterans' community reintegration and quality of life. Veterans with anxiety-based disorders, including posttraumatic stress, panic, social anxiety, and generalized anxiety disorders (with or without co-occurring depression) will be randomized to an intensive CBT (iCBT) treatment delivered over one weekend, standard CBT (sCBT) delivered over 12 weeks or treatment as usual (TAU). The study will also evaluate the potential of the compressed weekend format of iCBT in producing more rapid improvement in outcomes and increasing psychotherapy engagement compared with a standard psychotherapy format. Qualitative interviews will be conducted with Veterans who receive iCBT and their family members to examine how iCBT and environmental factors impacted their process of recovery.
Orthopedic surgeries are considered to be discomfortable and the sense of fear and anxiety of patients who already have preoperative anxiety may be aggravated by intraoperative stimulation, which may contribute to postoperative complications. Previous studies have found that high anxiety predicts increased sedative requirements. Therefore, the investigators explored the relationship between anxiety and intraoperative butorphanol requirements and the investigators evaluated the specific sedative requirement which can keep satisfactory sedative state for patients by preoperative anxiety score
This study evaluates two types of internet-based treatments for generalized anxiety disorder and two types of support. The treatments are a predetermined program for generalized anxiety disorder and a self-selected treatment. The different types of support are either a weekly contact trough a secure message system or support on demand.
The goal of this pilot study is to test the Mindful Recovery OBOT Care Continuum (M-ROCC) model in primary care office-based opioid treatment (OBOT). M-ROCC features integration of evidence-based mindfulness training with weekly group-based opioid treatment. Primary outcomes include (1) Feasibility measured by implementation of the curriculum into two CHA primary care sites and attendance at weekly sessions; (2) Acceptance via self-report and qualitative interviews. Secondary outcomes include anxiety reduction.
Anxiety is common among primary care patients, but is undertreated. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a brief anxiety treatment designed for VA primary care is more effective at reducing anxiety symptoms in Veterans compared to usual care. The investigators will also examine whether Veterans like the brief treatment and whether the treatment can be feasibly delivered in primary care. Forty-eight adult Veteran primary care patients from the Syracuse VAMC who are experiencing anxiety symptoms will be recruited and randomly assigned to receive the brief anxiety treatment or usual care. The brief treatment consists of up to six 30-minute sessions with a cognitive-behavioral skills focus. The investigators will compare anxiety symptom severity between the two groups at baseline and at post-assessment 16 weeks later.
The first aim of this study, as mentioned in the attached NIH grant, is to test the feasibility and acceptability of a novel computer-based cognitive training program that is designed to rehabilitate the brain's ventral attention network (VAN), a brain system associated with anxiety disorders. Once feasibility and acceptability is determined the investigators will begin aim 2 where the investigators will test the efficacy of this novel treatment, which could reduce the symptoms of anxiety disorders in children (and adults) by training them to actively ignore stimuli in turn reducing the activity of the VAN. To test this potential treatment the investigators will recruit 60 children with anxiety disorders and 10 healthy children to compare an active version of a computer training program to a sham version of training. The investigators will also measure VAN reactivity before and after treatment using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The rationale of this research is that it could lead to a novel, safe, mechanism-based treatment for a major public health problem.
