Filter by:This study evaluates beneficial effects of biofeedback therapy in reducing pain and increased tension of muscles occurring in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). During the study Electromyography Biofeedback (EMG-Biofeedback)- assisted training lowering muscle tension will be used. The patients will undergo 4 or 8 meetings of EMG-Biofeedback - assisted training Than the patients will be reevaluated after 6 and 12 weeks.
Healthy adult human male facial skin surface lipid liquid pheromone given by mouth to opioid addicts cures them without any withdrawal symptoms whatsoever 250mg on chewing gum vehicle by mouth. Elevated mood eventually becomes accommodated after a few weeks. The pheromone contains volatile airborne sub-pheromones which cause aversive behavior (distrust, superstition, suspicion, arrogance, astonishment/stupidity, jealousy). Artificial jealousy can be avoided by patient isolation for 40 days until the pheromone "taste" wears off the saliva. The pheromone provided is odorless, colorless, and tasteless to the conscious brain.
Although the vast majority of individuals sustaining a sport-related concussion (SRC) will receive medical clearance to return to sport within 7-10 days, approximately 30% of children and adolescents reporting to the emergency department will experience symptoms that last longer than a month. Research has demonstrated that exercise below the threshold that results in increases in symptoms, beyond those experienced at rest, (sub-symptom threshold aerobic exercise) may be beneficial in recovery. However, the optimal amount and intensity of aerobic exercise for an individual to experience the most beneficial outcomes is currently unknown. Unfortunately there are limited Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT's) evaluating the benefits of aerobic exercise in a youth population. The current evidence includes studies with relatively small sample sizes, unreliable measurements of physical activity (self-report), and inherent biases through inadequate blinding. There is a need to develop and validate evidence-informed interventions as a means of treatment for limiting time loss from sport, and school in adolescents who experience persistent symptoms of sports related concussion beyond 10 days.
Mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and trauma-related stress (MD\AD\TRS) are common among men, particularly those suffering from heart disease (HD). MD\AD\TRS are significantly related to exacerbation of HD symptoms that often lead to death. Unfortunately, men are significantly less likely than women to seek and receive appropriate treatment for their mental health issues including MD\AD\TRS. Furthermore, there is little literature about the use of the stepped care model in the Canadian setting. The overarching goal of this interventional program is therefore to prevent, early detect and treat MD\AD\TRS in men living with HD. This Participatory Action Research aims to implement a stepped-care model for MD\AD\TRS in men in New Brunswick, Ontario, and quebec. The second phase of the project proposes a quantitative study that will consist of testing the effectiveness and acceptability (by the men and the involved health professionals) of the stepped-care model. It will offer to post ACS-males a mental health related component presently not available in the typical services of the NB health system. Data will be collected at baseline (0 month) and at four follow-up (each 3-months) sessions to manage the progress of each participant throughout their 12-month journey in the study. Typical sociodemographic data will be collected, along with a questionnaire on Masculinity Norms, Couples Satisfaction (when applicable), and four mental health assessment tools.
This study will investigate the effects of aerobic exercise on mental states, cognition, BDNF, and long-term outcomes in patients with bipolar disorder.
This study aims to investigate whether physical activity intervention would be effective to improve sleep quality in children with ASD, and investigate how physical activity impacts on sleep in children with ASD through melatonin-mediated mechanism model. A parallel-group randomized controlled trial comparing a 12-week jogging intervention and a control group receiving standard care in 32 children with ASD will be conducted. This study will monitor the changes of four sleep parameters (sleep onset latency; sleep efficiency, wake after sleep onset and sleep duration) through objective actigraphic assessment and parental sleep logs.
The individual and societal cost of alcohol use disorders (TUAL), present in 10% of the population in France, is considerable. Despite psychotherapeutic and drug addiction treatment, the relapse rate remains very high, partly because of their very frequent cognitive disorders. In fact, more than 75% of TUAL patients present to varying degrees neuropsychological alterations that are only rarely detected and never treated. However, these cognitive disorders limit the benefit of psychotherapeutic care, reduce compliance with pharmacological treatments and hinder the patient's ability to change his behavior with respect to alcohol. An innovative way to promote the maintenance of the therapeutic contract, and therefore to reduce alcohol consumption in these patients, would be to improve their cognitive functioning. The objective of this study is to measure the efficacy of a non-drug treatment, based on a specific and personalized cognitive remediation program, compared to a standard treatment in Day Hospitalization, in order to reduce the rate of relapse very high in TUAL. It is a randomized, single-blind study with two parallel groups of patients with post-weaning neuropsychological disorders: REMED (cognitive remediation) and CONTROL (usual care).
Primary objective: *To determine whether treatment with naloxone hydrochloride nasal spray reduces gambling urge symptoms in patients with gambling disorder The secondary objectives of the study are: - To determine the effects of naloxone hydrochloride nasal spray on gambling severity, frequency and time, internet use, self-efficacy, quality of life, alcohol consumption, depression - To evaluate the safety of naloxone hydrochloride nasal spray in the treatment of gambling disorder
Music therapy is an established form of creative art therapy. By using music as a specific medium of communication, expression and adapting it to the individual resources and abilities of the patient, music therapy can be beneficial in activating and supporting mental and psycho-physical recover .
Co morbidity rates of hearing loss in children with autism spectrum disorder are high and increasing. Investigators are aiming to: 1. evaluate peripheral auditory and brain stem auditory function in children with autism spectrum disorder. 2. compare communication capabilities in autistic children having hearing abnormalities and autistic children with normal hearing.
