Filter by:The research will be carried out in a randomized controlled manner to determine the positive benefits of yoga for mothers and babies who have given birth preterm and have been discharged, and to determine its effect on Fragile Baby Perception Syndrome, maternal attachment, depression-anxiety-stress levels.
Cervical radiculopathy is a common and disabling condition involving local pain in the neck region and pain that radiates into the upper limb. Recent data suggest that cervical traction may effectively reduce disability and pain, with a dose-response relationship. The main aim of this study was therefore to evaluate the effect of an intensive cervical traction protocol for patients with cervical radiculopathy on depression, insomnia, and quality of life (1).
A non invasive treatment study including participants at risk for suicide attempts and undergoing neurofeedback training. Neurofeedback is controlling your brain activity in real time inside the scanner.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about moderate-intensity indoor cycling interventions in women's sport student-athletes transitioning into college and collegiate sport. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: Aim 1: Establish preliminary feasibility for the intervention based on recruitment and retention rates. Aim 2: Assess efficacy through comparison of pre- and post-intervention mental health outcomes scores between experimental and control groups. Exploratory Aim 3: Explore associations between exercise, athletic, and academic identities and mental health issues post-intervention. Participants will complete an online questionnaire. This online questionnaire will be given before the program begins and after the 4 weeks. The questionnaire will ask about the participants' basic information, the participants' experience with exercise, and the participants' transition experience including mental, physical, and social factors. Participants will be asked to attend an in-person 45-minute exercise class once a week at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) Student Recreation Center. Participants enrolled in the program will be asked to complete a self-report form during each weekly practice including heart rate (before and after practice) and ratings of perceived exertion. Heart rate will be measured during practice, smart devices (i.e., Apple Watch, FitBit) are not required.
Purpose: Chemotherapy treatment is a very different and difficult process. Considering the many physiological and psychological problems that patients experience during and after the treatment process, chemotherapy symptoms and psychological problems affect the quality of life of patients. Along with the burden of the disease, patients who experience physiological problems during chemotherapy may experience depression, stress, and anxiety. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effect of music played during chemotherapy on depression, anxiety, stress levels, and chemotherapy symptoms. Method: This study was conducted in a randomized controlled manner with a pretest-posttest control group random design model. The study population consisted of patients receiving treatment in the outpatient chemotherapy unit of Maltepe University Faculty of Medicine Hospital. The study sample consisted of 49 patients who met the inclusion criteria. The power analysis determined that the sample number was 42 people in total, 21 in the experimental group and 21 in the control group. However, considering the data losses, it was decided that the number would be 25 experimental and 25 control. When one patient from the experimental group did not want to continue, the study was completed with 49 patients, 24 in the experimental group and 25 in the control group. The music recital will be applied 4 times in total, once a week, until the patients complete 1 cycle, i.e. 4 sessions. Patients in the experimental group were administered the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS -42) and Edmonton Symptom Diagnostic Scale (ESDS) before each session until the completion of one cycle, and music was played for 20-25 minutes during chemotherapy. After chemotherapy, the scales were applied again. In the control group, the scales were applied before chemotherapy treatment, no intervention was made during chemotherapy and the scales were applied again after chemotherapy.
This study is being done to test the feasibility of a personalized nutrition eating plan in adolescents with depression. Evidence suggests that dietary quality may affect an individual's mood. A healthy diet includes vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, and olive oil, as well as minimally processed whole grains, legumes, and moderate amounts of lean meat, fish, and dairy. The investigators will examine the feasibility of a personalized nutrition eating plan for children and youth with depression. Previous research has shown that it helps improve depressive symptoms in adults, but it is not clear if the same is true for children and youth.
This study was designed to determine the feasibility of a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) that involved treating depression among participants with an elevated risk for cardiovascular disease. It is expected that treating depression through non-pharmacological means will impact heart rate variability, a proximal measure of CVD risk.
Adequate and effective pain management and prevention of depression are essential in burn patients. This study aims to investigate the effects of ketamine sedation in burn patients in terms of mood disorders, depression, anxiety, and suicidal tendency during intensive care follow-up in the postoperative period.
In this project, the efficacy of different tDCS protocols in major depression will be investigated. The tDCS protocols have already been investigated in humans, and results showed that stimulation intensity has a different effect on tDCS long-term aftereffects based on the human motor cortex model. The project has three major goals: first, we want to see if the differential outcome of tDCS dosage, as present in healthy populations, can be translated to patients with major depression. Second, we want to compare the efficacy of a multi-channel novel protocol with conventional tDCS modules. Lastly, we are interested in the safety and tolerability of optimized multi-channel. The project output will be an optimized tDCS protocol for major depression treatment.
The FDA approved repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in 2008. The conventional rTMS protocol that has been used effectively for major depression is 5 days per week for 4-6 weeks. The accelerated rTMS protocol involves conducting more than one session per day. In the treatment of post-stroke depression (PSD); although the effectiveness of conventional rTMS procedure has been shown in many studies, there is limited data on accelerated rTMS protocol in which the number of daily sessions is increased. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of accelerated rTMS treatment on depression symptoms in patients diagnosed with PSD and whose depressive symptoms persist despite medical treatment, by comparing it with sham stimulation. Question 1: Is accelerated rTMS an effective and reliable method in the treatment of post-stroke depression? Question 2: Is accelerated rTMS effective on quality of life, functional assessment and motor recovery in patients with post-stroke depression?
