Filter by:This study is a 28-day randomized controlled trial (RCT). Residents were randomly assigned to an intervention group or a waiting group according to the order in which they were successfully contacted by the staff, and each user was asked to engage in a total of 28 days of dialog intervention with the Douyin companion bot and complete three psychological questionnaires (on Days 1, 14, and 28); however, the intervention group began to receive the dialog intervention after completing the first questionnaire, and the waiting group began to receive the dialog intervention after completing the third questionnaire. During the first four weeks, the waiting group was treated as a blank control. The two groups of subjects completed the three questionnaires at exactly the same point in time. Each user's depression, anxiety, and positive and negative emotions were measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), respectively.
This study contributes new evidence for the identification of adolescent TRD and sheds light on differing pathophysiologies by delineating distinct plasma metabolic profiles between adolescent TRD and FEDN-MDD.
A total of 100 patients with adolescent depression who were admitted to our hospital between March 2022 and October 2022 were selected. On the basis of double blinding, these patients were randomly divided into the observation group(n=50) and the control group(n=50) using a random number table. 5S management method was used in the whole process of treatment to improve the hospital environment, increase the work efficiency and reduce the occurrence of cross infection through the effective implementation of the five steps of sort(Seiri), set in order(Seiton), shine (Seiso), standardize(Seiketsu) and sustain(Shitsuke).
The goal of this pilot randomized controlled trial was to examine the feasibility and acceptability of an ehealth antenatal coparenting intervention (eACoP) in primiparous Pakistani women. The secondary purpose of the study was to see the effectives of the intervention in prevention postpartum depression in women. Two hundred and twelve primiparous couples were randomized into an intervention or a control group from the Aga Khan University Hospital. Couples were randomized using consecutively numbered sealed envelopes. Couples in the intervention group received the eACoP intervention during pregnancy, consist of eight online videos in addition to the standard care provided at the center. Both the intervention group and control group received standard care.
Objective: To collect preliminary data and assess the preliminary effectiveness of a game-based digital therapeutics (DTx) intervention for individuals with symptoms of anxiety and depression, and to investigate whether reinforcement learning (RL) can personalize the intervention and enhance effectiveness. Design: Randomized controlled trial with three arms. Setting: Internet-based recruitment and delivery of the intervention. Participants: 223 individuals with symptoms of anxiety and depression, aged between 18 and 50 years. Interventions: Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: game-based DTx with RL algorithm (RL algorithm group), game-based DTx without RL algorithm (no algorithm group), and a blank control group. Main Outcomes and Measures: The primary outcomes were reductions in symptoms of anxiety and depression, measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item scales. Response rates and rates of recovery, as well as the impact of demographic variables, were also examined.
The goal of this observational study is to confirm the impact of using this app adapted to be more specific for screening for 5 neurodevelopmental disorders and to evaluate the mothers' support program on the incidence of postpartum depression in of young parents with a minimum of 1 child under 10 years of age at the time of inclusion and using Malo on a regular basis. The main questions it aims to answer are : - the median age of possible neurodevelopmental disorders notification of infants - the median time of the mothers' postnatal depression notifications after childbirth subsequently to the support and prevention program Participants will agree with use of their data
The goal of this pilot Study and Randomized Controlled Trial is to investigate the impact of electroacupuncture on cognitive function, quality of life (QoL), and depression severity in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Primary : electroacupuncture has the potential to treat subjective cognitive complaints and cognitive impairment in MDD outpatients - Secondary : electroacupuncture has the potential to treat depressive in MDD outpatients The 60 participants will randomly be assigned to either the treatment group or the control group in a 1:1 ratio. The treatment group will undergo electroacupuncture (EA), while the control group will receive sham acupuncture within 10 weeks period. Both groups will receive antidepressants with adjunctive medication (i.e., benzodiazepines, tricyclics, or antipsychotics) as the standard treatment. All participants will be assessed for executive functions and memory using specific cognitive tests, including the Trail Making Test B (TMT-B), Stroop Color and Word Test (SCWT), category delayed recall in the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog), and subjective reports of concern regarding concentration, memory, problem-solving, learning, communication, and quality of life (QoL) concerns using the WHO Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS 2.0; sections D1.1-1.6 and H1-3), and depressive symptoms were assessed using the Thai-PHQ-9.
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.
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.
