Filter by:This Nu-V3 clinical study is a randomized, phase II, open-label study evaluating the Nu-V3 cranial nerve stimulation treatment device in patients with chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and/or sleeplessness.
The purpose of this research protocol is to adapt the Equine Assisted Therapy (EAT) protocol, which the investigators had developed to help treat PTSD (EAT-PTSD; the Man O' War (MOW) protocol), for use with adolescents who have an anxiety disorder. The MOW protocol is an eight session, group therapy EAT protocol, which the investigators developed, piloted, revised, and tested. EAT is an alternative treatment practiced across the United States and around the world for mental health disorders, in which the horse(s) play an essential role in an experientially oriented therapeutic approach. The MOW protocol is for group EAT, with groups led by a licensed mental health provider and an "equine specialist," working with two horses and assisted by a wrangler (horse handler) to assure safety. In the open trial, the MOW protocol showed promising results in reducing the level of PTSD and Depressive symptoms in veterans with moderate to severe PTSD, was found to be safe (no adverse events), and well accepted (very few dropouts (Fisher et al., 2021)) and found evidence of neural changes (Zhu et al, 2021). As part of the MOW project, the investigators prepared a well specified treatment manual (Fisher et al, 2021) - the first of its kind in the field of EAT - and have trained others in its use.
The present study is a controlled trial that seeks to examine the feasibility, acceptability, mechanism, and efficacy of a recently developed computer-based therapy in individuals with social anxiety disorder (SAD)
The present study aims to evaluate whether an online, self-administered, single session intervention (SSI) increases children and adolescents' perceptions of control over external threats and their emotional experience and reduces self-reported symptoms of anxiety and low mood. Children and adolescents, identified by their parents as having difficulties with low mood or anxiety, will be randomised to receive either the growth mindset of personality intervention or an active comparison condition. Whether parental low mood and anxiety has a moderating impact on outcomes will also be investigated.
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a debilitating condition involving excessive and uncontrollable worry and anxiety. Difficulty tolerating the uncertainties of life, known as intolerance of uncertainty (IU), has been shown to be key in the development and maintenance of GAD symptoms. A new, streamlined cognitive-behavioural treatment that targets IU has been shown to be effective in at reducing GAD symptoms, IU, and general psychopathology when delivered one-on-one with a therapist, as shown in a recently published pilot study. The individual format of this treatment is now being evaluated in a randomized controlled trial (RCT). The overall objective of this study is to pilot test a group version of the treatment protocol to determine if a future RCT of this group treatment is both warranted and feasible. We will also conduct a preliminary investigation into the group treatment's efficacy. A total of two pilot groups (N = 12-20) will be conducted with participants recruited from two clinical hospital sites in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The group treatment protocol will be delivered over the course of 12 weekly therapy sessions. Participants will complete assessment measures at pretreatment, posttreatment, and at a 3-month follow-up point. All assessments and treatment sessions will be conducted virtually via videoconferencing platform due to ongoing COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
To analyze the hypothetical improvement in anxiety degree, quality of life and fear of cancer in patients diagnosed with a small gastrointestinal subeptithelial tumor when opting for the removal of the lesion.
This study aims to test the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) as a non-pharmaceutical intervention to reduce pain and anxiety in children undergoing various procedures in the Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) at CHLA, as measured by self- and proxy-report.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of exosome deployment with concurrent transcranial ultrasound in patients with refractory, treatment resistant depression, anxiety, and neurodegenerative dementia.
This study will examine whether tactile feedback and point-based rewards can be used to improve outcomes from virtual reality exposure therapy for acrophobia.
Prazosin has shown effectiveness in treating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder through improving sleep quality and global functioning. Given the significant evidence for its utility in treating PTSD, in combination with the fact that many anxiety symptoms overlap with PTSD (e.g.insomnia, hyperarousal, and irritability), it is essential to evaluate its potential effectiveness in treating symptoms of other anxiety disorder and patient tolerability.
