Filter by:Anxiety is a common problem encountered in a about 43 % of critically ill patients. Its occurrence can be related to several causes, mainly dominated by invasive procedures. anxiety management is typically based on a combination of prevention, evaluation, and therapeutic agents. However, it appears important to develop adjuvant approaches. Touch massage is one of them and that has been evaluated in various medical conditions. The aim of our study is to evaluate the anxiolytic effect of touch massage in critically ill patients during potentially painful nursing procedures.
This study aims to test the efficacy and feasibility of administering a computerized attention training program targeting clinical levels of anxiety in Latino youth between the ages of 8-17. 52 youth from Imperial County, a rural and predominantly Latino region, will be randomized to receive either 1) a 12-session attention modification program (AMP) or 2) an attention condition program (non-active treatment). Clinical assessment of symptom severity will be conducted before, during, and after treatment. We hypothesize that at the end of treatment, children who receive the active intervention (AMP) will show (1) decreased attention bias to anxiety-related triggers using an independent measure of attention bias to assess change and (b) reduced anxiety severity. We also hypothesize that this study will be feasible, tolerable, acceptable, and safe in this underserved sample of Latino youth. This study is an initial step towards demonstrating the feasibility of implementing a novel computerized attention training program in anxiety in underserved community samples.
Background: Researchers want to better understand brain processes related to fear and anxiety. They want to find out if transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a type of brain stimulation, can reduce anxiety. Objective: To see how TMS affects fear and anxiety through memory and attention tasks. Eligibility: Healthy people ages 18-50 who are right-handed Design: Participants will be screened through another protocol. Participants in the pilot study will have 1 visit. This includes: Urine tests Questionnaires about mood and thinking Shock and startle workup: Electrodes are taped to the wrists or fingers. Participants will be shocked to find out what level of shock is uncomfortable but tolerable. They will hear loud, sudden noises through headphones. TMS: A coil is held on the scalp. A magnetic field stimulates the brain. Sometimes they might receive fake TMS. This feels the same as real TMS. They will perform simple tasks. Participants in the main study will have 2 visits within 2 weeks. The first visit includes: Urine tests Questionnaires about mood and thinking MRI: Participants lie on a table that slides into a scanner. They will be in the scanner about 1 hour. A computer screen in the scanner will tell them to perform simple tasks. The second visit includes: Shock and startle workup TMS
To evaluate the effect of wagon for transporting vehicle instead of standard stretcher car for reducing preoperative children's anxiety.
The goal of the current proposal is to examine if sublingual riluzole can reduce anxiety in people with social anxiety disorder during a public speaking task.
This research study is designed to answer specific questions about new ways to provide services for youth at-risk of suicide.
this study examines the emergence of the visual mismatch negativity (vMMN) ERP component in response to deviations from the embedded contingency in attention bias modification treatment (ABMT) for social and generalized anxiety, and the interaction between vMMN emergence and clinical improvement. ***As of September 2017, recruitment of SAD participants has concluded.
To determine the effect of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in the severity of anxiety and depression in adult patients with familial dysautonomia. Patients will be enrolled in an 8-week CBT program. All CBT sessions will be done either in person at the NYU Dysautonomia Center or over the phone to help accommodate disability and potential physical limitations of our patient population.
Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy (VRET) is an efficacious treatment of fear and anxiety, but because of the high financial costs and technical complexity of the past generation of VR hardware, there has been no large-scale implementation of this promising treatment. The present study will investigate whether off-the-shelf, commercial VR hardware and software can be used as stimuli material to conduct in-session exposure therapy for speech anxiety. The study will recruit n=25+25 participants from the general public suffering from substantial speech anxiety, who will be randomized to either a waiting-list, or one-session VRET with a therapist, followed by four weeks of a progressive maintenance program encouraging in-vivo exposure. The waiting-list group will then receive an Internet-delivered VRET treatment program.
To construct and evaluate an immersive 3D simulation to familiarize patients with the pre-operative experience, and investigate whether A) immersive 3D virtual reality video can reduce pre-operative anxiety, and B) how this approach compares to current practice of viewing traditional educational videos.
