Filter by:The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of preoperative operating room environment introduction on preoperative hypertension and blood pressure in hypertensive patients.
The current study examines therapeutic processes during internet-based cognitive-behavioral therapy for social anxiety disorder. Participants will be randomized to either treatment or wait-list conditions. Participants in the wait-list condition will receive active treatment following the wait-list period.
This study is an open trial of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) groups combined with a mobile app for the treatment of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). The goal of this study is to evaluate if ACT groups and a mobile app are efficacious and acceptable in the treatment of GAD. Study hypotheses are: 1. Group ACT will lead to improvement in worry, anxiety, comorbid depression, functioning, and well-being. 2. Group ACT will also lead to improvement in theoretically relevant processes, namely psychological inflexibility, anxiety-related fusion, mindfulness, and progress towards values. 3. Combining a mobile app with group ACT will be credible, acceptable, and satisfactory to participants.
This study is evaluating how well a music therapy program works to improve anxiety and stress in adolescents and young adults receiving cancer treatment.
The investigators aimed to investigate the effect of menstrual cycle phases on preoperative anxiety in women under general anesthesia.
The Kids FACE FEARS (Kids Face-to-face And Computer-Enhanced Formats Effectiveness study for Anxiety and Related Symptoms) is a large-scale, streamlined, pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) evaluating face-to-face (therapist led office based or telehealth) vs. self-administered online cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for the treatment of child and adolescent anxiety. Families will be recruited from pediatric health centers serving primarily racial/ethnic minority youth in urban, suburban, and semi-rural regions. Patient-centered outcomes will be evaluated across a one-year follow-up period; parents, patients, providers, and other key stakeholders will be actively engaged throughout all aspects of the research.
Therapies delivered via technology have been developed to improve accessibility, however, there is limited research regarding messaging therapy in particular, and none that we know of utilizing a longitudinal effectiveness design. The aim of this study was to investigate the overall effectiveness of messaging therapy, identify any contributors to its effectiveness, and to evaluate a dosage effect for this type of treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine if non-invasive distracting devices (Virtual Reality headset) are more effective than the standard of care (i.e., no technology based distraction) for preventing anxiety in parental and pediatric populations with limited English proficiency (LEP).
Anxiety and depression are prevalent and disabling conditions. Although cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) has been shown to significantly reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, access to the service is limited. Internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) represents a novel approach to overcoming access barriers and involves delivering therapeutic content to manage symptoms via structured online lessons. The Online Therapy Unit has been studying the efficacy of ICBT for anxiety and depression and found that ~75% of clients complete treatment and demonstrate large improvement in symptoms. However, recent research suggests that younger clients and clients with higher baseline distress are more likely to dropout of ICBT. While it remains unclear why these clients are more susceptible to attrition, it is plausible that they are experiencing a greater degree ambivalence to change and, thus, terminate treatment as a result. Motivational interviewing (MI) aims to help facilitate clients' intrinsic motivation to change by resolving ambivalence. MI has been integrated into CBT for anxiety to overcome similar concerns of poor treatment retention. Evidence suggests that the integration of MI and CBT further enhances response and completion rates. In the context of online therapy, however, the efficacy of MI remains unclear. In the current trial, the investigators aimed to assess a recently developed online MI pre-treatment (i.e., the Planning for Change lesson). A total of 480 clients (original aim for sample size was 300) applying to transdiagnostic ICBT in routine care were randomly assigned to receive the MI pre-treatment or no pre-treatment (i.e., a waiting period) prior to participating in ICBT (i.e., the Wellbeing Course). The investigators sought to examine: how ICBT with MI compared to standardized ICBT in terms of symptom change, rates of reliable improvement, intervention usage (e.g., number of lessons completed), frequency of motivational language in the first two emails to therapist, and motivation levels. It was hypothesized that there would be a small but significant effect of MI on these variables. Additionally, the investigators aimed to explore if age and severity of baseline distress moderate the effect between MI and ICBT outcomes. Younger clients and clients with higher baseline distress are more likely to drop out of ICBT and, thus, it was further hypothesized that online MI will have a greater impact on these groups.
The investigators propose to develop and adapt Unwinding Anxiety phone app specifically for individuals with generalized anxiety disorder.
