Filter by:The Trial Assessing Light-Intensity Exercise on the Health of Older Breast Cancer Survivors pilot randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of a home-based, light-intensity physical activity intervention among 56 obese, older adult breast cancer survivors, in comparison to a usual care control condition.
There is considerable need for psychological intervention targeting stressor-related mental health symptoms related to COVID-19. The investigators have developed an online self-directed transdiagnostic intervention to address this need called RESTORE: Recovering from Extreme Stressors Through Online Resources and E-health. The specific aims of this project are to refine and investigate the initial safety, efficacy, and desirability of RESTORE for addressing mental-health symptoms in individuals who have recovered from severe COVID-19 and close others.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is prevalent and debilitating chronic disease in Veterans. COPD is highly co-morbid with depression and anxiety conferring greater morbidity and mortality risk. Physical activity is a modifiable behavior that can improve COPD outcomes. However, to date, interventions targeting physical activity have not addressed the high comorbidity between COPD and depression and/or anxiety symptoms ("emotional distress") despite emotional distress predicting poorer response to physical activity interventions. This CDA-2 proposal will develop and test the feasibility and pilot RCT of an integrative physical activity and mental health intervention for Veterans with COPD, emotional distress, and low physical activity. The intervention will be delivered via VA Video Connect enabling access to care among Veterans with substantial barriers to hospital-based outpatient care.
This is a feasibility trial of a personalized 8-week text messaging intervention aimed at young adults (ages 18-25) with depression and anxiety who are not interested in -- or experience barriers to -- receiving traditional face-to-face psychological treatments. The trial will consist of a pilot test of (1) an 8-week adaptive (personalized) messaging intervention relative to (2) a non-personalized digital mental health intervention, or (3) an active control which will send weekly psychoeducation information by way of Uniform Resource Locators (URLs). The adaptive intervention will uses machine learning to tailor Short Message Service (SMS) messages to an individual's needs and preferences, and URL links to provide access to psychoeducational content to contextualize messages, when the length of that content exceeds the limitations of messages. The primary goals of the project are to conduct a feasibility trial using a sequential multiple assignment randomized treatment (SMART) design, which will evaluate (a) the effectiveness of an adaptive, personalized messaging intervention in reducing engagement relative to a non-personalized version; and (b) whether human coaching results in greater symptom reduction and engagement, relative an unguided implementation.
Patients with fibromyalgia (FM) complain of widespread chronic pain from deep tissues including muscles. Previous research highlights the relevance of impulse input from deep tissues for clinical FM pain. Deep dry needle stimulation is an invasive treatment modality used in the management of musculoskeletal pain. Its efficacy has been confirmed in the management of myofascial trigger points, so the purpose of the study is to determine if blocking abnormal impulse input with deep dry needling stimulation of tender point may decrease hyperalgesia, clinical pain and associated symptoms such as anxiety, depression, fatigue and improve the quality of life in FM patients.
This study is the second study of a larger project and will begin the process of testing and the development of an integrated intervention on a series of case studies. The combined intervention provides psychological therapy and debt advice in tandem. The treatment pathway is based on interviews and focus groups with service users and staff and the themes that emerged. It will be trialled in the NHS' Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) service. Participants routinely accessing this service who have debt issues affecting their mental health will be asked if they'd like to also take up support for their money worries, which will be provided by Citizen's Advice (CA). Researchers will take exit interviews with both service users and staff at the end of the treatment to develop the protocol further. Researchers will also assess measures of mental health and wellbeing that are routinely taken by IAPT to review the intervention.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate, subjectively and objectively, whether playing music during procedures for treatment of chronic lower back pain has an effect on patients' anxiety and pain. The investigators hypothesize that playing music will result in reduced patient reported anxiety and pain scores and less variation from baseline of vital signs versus patients in the control group without music therapy. This is a pilot study.
The goal is to improve mental health of minority and other vulnerable populations disproportionately affected by SARS-CoV-2. The study will evaluate the impact of mental health services on SARS-CoV-2 mitigation strategies such as prevention behaviors, receiving vaccinations, and safe healthcare utilization. Successful completion of this study will contribute to the National Institute of Mental Health Strategic Plan employing implementation science to maximize the public health impact of research for effectiveness and reach of mental health services, especially for minority groups and other underserved populations in the United States.
The investigators are interested in studying the effects of varying lengths of musical exposure on patient anxiety and stress levels.
The treatment of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) in an accessible manner represents an unmet need for those with cardiovascular disease (CVD), given that patients with CVD experience numerous barriers for in-person treatment engagement. The research plan for the proposed pilot project will entail: (1) open study of the acceptability of the digital intervention (N=5), followed by (2) recruitment and randomization of 90 individuals with a history of acute CVD events and clinical levels of GAD symptoms to dCBT or a waitlist (Control) condition, using a 1.5:1 allocation (dCBT:Control).
