Filter by:The investigators examined whether brief, app-based interventions were helpful in alleviating mental health symptoms during the transition to college. In particular, the investigators were interested in whether a brief mobile-app mindfulness intervention combined with mood monitoring was more effective in alleviating first-year students' psychological distress than mood monitoring alone.
This SBIR Phase I proposal will develop and test the acceptability and feasibility of a new suite of digital Single-Session Interventions, specifically applying Unified Protocol core principles for emotional disorders, to produce a highly accessible, engaging, and scalable product to help address the clinical needs of youth.
This study aimed to investigate the effect of auricular acupressure (AA) to relieve constipation symptoms and improve quality of life in patients hospitalized for their heart failure. A total of 72 participants were randomly assigned and 68 (33 in the AA group and 35 in the control group) completed the study. Outcomes were measured by the Bristolv Stool Form Scale, Constipation Assessment Scale, Patient Assessment of Constipation Symptoms, Visual Scale Analog, Beck Anxiety Inventory and Beck Depression Inventory at baseline, Weeks 1 and 2, as well as Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire and Patient Assessment of Constipation Quality of Life at baseline and Week 2.
The objective of this study was evaluation of the effectiveness of REBT on the emotional state of orthopedic patients with comorbidities before and after arthroplasty.
Heightened performance monitoring and overcontrol (HPM/OC) is characterized by inflexibility, a need for control, perfectionism, anxious apprehension and high error monitoring. HPM/OC is a cross-diagnostic (transdiagnostic) characteristic occurring across multiple forms of psychiatric illness that emerge in adolescence, including anorexia nervosa (AN), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and social anxiety disorder. This study characterizes behavioral and neural HPM/OC in healthy adolescents and adolescents with disorders characterized by HPM/OC, including AN and related eating disorders and anxiety, depressive and obsessive compulsive disorders. We then examine feasibility of a novel treatment for HPM/OC in adolescents, examining recruitment feasibility, exploration of the mechanism of HPM/OC and examining whether treatment is able to target neural and behavioral HPM/OC.
Social isolation related mental health problems have raised many concerns during the COVID-19 outbreaks. Mental health care for people in quarantined hotels is in urgent need, but concrete program is rarely reported. Morita therapy and acupressure have been identified as effective treatments for regulating mood and sleep. The study aimed to examine whether Morita therapy (MT) combined with Xingnao Kaiqiao self-administered acupressure (XKSA) could improve depressive, anxiety symptoms and sleep quality in isolated people with depressive symptoms.
This pilot randomised controlled trial aims to compare the effectiveness of a 12-week music and movement intervention in older adults in care homes compared to a waitlist control group. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do salivary cortisol and DHEAS levels improve after the intervention, compared to the waitlist control group? - Do feelings of anxiety and depression improve after the intervention, compared to the waitlist control group? - Does the quality of life improve after the intervention, compared to the waitlist control group? - Does physical function improve after the intervention, compared to the waitlist control group? Participants will engage in music and movement sessions three times per week for 12 weeks. Researchers will compare the intervention group to the waitlist control group to see if any effects occur.
This is a 3-arm, parallel-group, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot trial. Sixty adults presenting with depressive symptoms will be randomly allocated to one of 3 groups comprising (1) Bifidobacterium adolescentis or (2) Lactocaseibacillus rhamnosus LGG and Bifidobacterium BB-12 or (3) a placebo for 12 weeks. At baseline (Visit 2), midpoint (Visit 3) and end-of-study (Visit 4) visits, participants meeting eligibility criteria will complete the BDI-II, BAI, DASS-21 and PROMIS Sleep questionnaires and blood samples will be collected for biomarker assessments. Fecal samples will be collected prior to the baseline and end-of-study visits for microbial profiling.
The Kintsugi Voice Device Pilot Study is a two arm pilot diagnostic accuracy study. Eligible enrolled participants will complete the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) instruments, as well as complete a remote video-recorded Structured Clinical Interview for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders-5 (SCID) with a trained psychiatrist. This study seeks to evaluate the ability of the Device to aid clinical assessment for depression and anxiety by comparing its output with the established diagnostic standard consisting of a diagnosis made by a specialist clinician based on DSM-5 criteria. The order of the assessments will be randomized. Audio captured during the SCID interview will be inputted into a machine learning model to determine the diagnostic accuracy of the Kintsugi Voice Device.
The goal of this study is to refine and test a strategy for engaging veterans with symptoms of depression and/or anxiety as volunteers to help English language learners (ELLs) improve their speaking skills via structured conversations using videoconferencing.
