NCT ID: NCT05930912 Active, not recruiting - Anxiety Disorders Clinical Trials

Psychiatric Orders in Psychoanalytic Treatment of ASD

Start date: June 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is often accompanied by a variety of other symptoms, such as bipolar disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD), Avoidant Personality Disorder (AvPD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), etc. The behavioral and social complications often marginalize the population, impact on life satisfaction, undermined societal values that impact on economic and financial fairness, and so forth. Furthermore, persons with ASD are neurodiverse from standardized pharmacological and clinical cares, and are interpreted disadvantaged in the context of neurotypical treatments. The research protocol aims to differentiate the neuropharmacological implications of ASD from its behavioral and social implications. Such a differentiation is beneficial to the quality of care for neurodiverse population, both in terms of precision treatment in medical settings, and in terms of psychotherapeutic treatment efficacy in the interpretation of behavioral and social traits. The study protocol continues from the adverse event of the participant in NCT05711810 trial, after the positive immunological results in the NCT05839236 trial. The intervention medicine continues from Sertraline adjusted on the choice of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) in the previous two trials for complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) of the participant, and its combined used with Duloxetine in the choice of Selective Norephedrine Reuptake Inhibitor (SNRI) for norephedrine regulations. The hypothesized target is on the discrete psychiatric intervention centered approach to ASD treatment care. In the PRC where the study is being carried out, amphetamine class medicines are strictly prohibited and defined as illegal substances, regardless of their only proven effect for ASD patient care. Contributed by the sociostructural elements and necessities, black market amphetamine and ketamine have not only emerged in the regime for decades, but also have become a lucrative business. Their recreational uses are also sometimes accompanied by real necessities and needs; black markets cater to the needs but guidance on the usages is based on word-of-mouth stories without professional medical assistances. There is one case the Principal Investigator (PI) collected, that one person, possibly under depression contributed by PTSD, took relatively high dosage of amphetamine and went into a state of psychosis with overwhelming persecution mania. The study protocol, Psychiatric Orders in Psychoanalytic Treatment of ASD, is therefore designed for an evidence-based approach in treating complex psychiatric disorders with psychoanalytic guidance.

NCT ID: NCT05530668 Completed - Clinical trials for Depression Anxiety Disorder

Tolerance and Potential Synergistic Effect of the Combination of Intranasal Esketamine and Non-selective MAOI

ESKETAM
Start date: April 11, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

There are already recently published data on the tolerability and efficacy of the combination of ketamine and/or esketamine with MAOIs. However, these reports are few and far between, and to our knowledge, there are no data involving intranasal esketamine. Given the numerous interactions between MAOIs and other antidepressants, and the impossibility of combination, this pharmacological class is neglected. This is despite the fact that MAOIs are the only truly tri-aminergic drugs, that they have unparalleled efficacy in certain forms of resistant apathetic depression, and that new, more dietary permissive forms have appeared on the market. The arrival of antidepressants that can be combined with MAOIs, such as ketamine and esketamine, changes the situation and could offer a new treatment opportunity to many patients in a therapeutic impasse. For these opportunities to become a reality, sharing the clinical experience gained by specialized centers is essential.

NCT ID: NCT04841031 Completed - PTSD Clinical Trials

Psychosocial and Economic Impacts of Narrative Exposure Therapy for Violence Survivors in Eastern DRC

Start date: June 29, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The objective of the study is to evaluate the impact of Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) delivered by local counselors, on the mental health and socio-economic empowerment of survivors of Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV) who suffer Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), in North and South Kivu in Eastern DRC. The counselors will be trained and supervised by clinical experts from the NGO Vivo International. The therapy is expected to reduce the symptoms of PTSD, depression, and anxiety in SGBV survivors. The project is expected to directly impact and improve the beneficiaries' mental health outcomes of interest, and to indirectly impact and enhance their economic empowerment in the medium term and social functioning both in the short and medium term. This proposed impact evaluation will answer the following research questions: 1) What is the impact of NET on survivors' psychosocial wellbeing, economic empowerment and social functioning and participation? 2) Does the impact of NET differ depending on individual and household characteristics as well as context-specific factors?

NCT ID: NCT03607708 Suspended - Clinical trials for Depression Anxiety Disorder

Alternative Treatments To Prevent Cognitive Decline in Older Adults With Depression and Anxiety

Start date: June 10, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Major depression and anxiety disorders are leading causes of disability worldwide. These mental disorders deeply impact social functioning and physical health in more than 300,000-600,000 Canadians over the age of 60. Depressed and anxious older adults have a 2-3 times increased risk of developing dementia and cognitive decline. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) is a group meditation intervention that has been beneficial in treating depression and anxiety in younger adults. Our research group has experience conducting clinical trials of MBCT in older adults with depression and anxiety. Meditation therapies may prevent cognitive decline, but no previous study has examined this with MBCT. In this 8-week clinical trial, Investigators are examining whether MBCT can strengthen the structural and functional integrity of brain networks and improve cognitive resilience in vulnerable depressed and anxious older adults. Investigators will also examine whether MBCT can improve depression, anxiety symptoms, disability, and quality of life in patients. Investigators will conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT), comparing Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT; n=15) versus a Health Enhancement Program (HEP; n=15) active control in 30 older patients (>60) with depression or anxiety. Participants will be blinded to the treatment hypothesis while investigators and raters will be additionally blinded to group assignment. Both MBCT and HEP will be taught in weekly sessions over 8 weeks in similar sized groups (4-10 participants). Investigators will measure the effect of these interventions on brain network function and structure using magnetic resonance imaging at baseline and 8-week timepoints. Investigators will also assess cognitive functioning and a range of clinical symptoms/quality of life measures at baseline, 8-week and 6-month follow-up. Investigators anticipate that this project will improve quality of life in depressed and anxious older adults by enhancing brain resilience, cognitive function, and general mental health. This project will provides essential pilot data for a longer-term definitive neuroimaging trial of MBCT to assess the potential of this intervention to prevent cognitive decline and dementia in older adults.

NCT ID: NCT02536924 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Depression Anxiety Disorder

RCT of RESOLVE: A Waiting Room Intervention for Crisis Clients

RESOLVE
Start date: August 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Crisis Teams are now a well established part of the mental health system. These teams are effective in providing crisis management, treatment, referral, and educational services. We are testing a waiting room intervention for the patients attending a Crisis Team. As far as we are aware, no trial of a waiting room intervention has been reported in a psychiatric setting. This is a preliminary study using a Randomized Control Trial (RCT) Design. Patients (N =40) will be randomly allocated to either the treatment or the control group, and will be selected from the local Crisis Team. The treatment group will receive a waiting room intervention called, RESOLVE (Relaxation, SOLving problem and cognitiVe Errors), that is a short film, Plus Treatment As Usual (TAU), and the control group will receive only TAU. Patients in both groups will be assessed before and after the intervention, using the HADS (Hospital Anxiety And Depression Scale), CORE (Clinical Outcome in Routine Evaluation), (to measure psychopathology) and WHODAS (World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule) (for functioning). We hypothesize that the treatment group will demonstrate significant improvement in mental health and functioning, compared to the control group. Analyses will be conducted using SPSS v22, and will consist of a t-test or Chi Square test to measure the baseline differences, and a linear regression to compare the differences between the two groups at the end of the intervention. Results will be published in international journals and will be presented in local and international conferences.
