Filter by:This single-center, observational study is being conducted to identify a well-characterized subgroup within the ASD patient population, based on clinical symptoms and biosample analysis.
Insomnia is common with co-morbid somatic disease, e.g. rheumatic disease, cancer, heart and lung disease or gastrointestinal disorders. Pain, breathing difficulties and other symptoms of disease can worsen sleep problems and cause insomnia. In turn, insomnia may aggravate pain, fatigue and reduce quality of life in patients with somatic disorders. This project aims to evaluate a course offered to patients with insomnia and somatic disease at Diakonhjemmet Hospital. The course is based on cognitive behavioral therapy, a documented treatment for insomnia.
Insomnia is common in patients with co-morbid mental illness and sleeping difficulties is a frequent complaint in most psychological disorders. Mental illness may cause sleep problems, however, sleep problems like insomnia, may also cause or exacerbate mental illness. Insomnia may aggravate symptoms of depression, anxiety and fatigue, and reduce daily functioning in patients with co-morbid insomnia and mental illness. This project aims to evaluate a course offered to patients with insomnia and mental illness at Diakonhjemmet Hospital. The course is based on cognitive behavioral therapy, a documented treatment for insomnia.
This is a Phase II, single-center, fixed dose, open label trial to explore the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a 25mg dose of psilocybin in cancer patients with MDD. The study population will include adult men and women, 18 years of age or above, with MDD, diagnosed with a malignant neoplasm. MDD is defined as those who meet DSM 5 diagnostic criteria for a single or recurrent episode of MDD without psychotic features. A diagnosis of a malignant neoplasm is defined as having a diagnostic code from C00 to C97 according to the ICD-10.
The primary purpose of this study is to explore whether the efficiency of treatment for anxiety and depressive disorders can be increased using two discrete strategies: personalized skill ordering and 2) treatment discontinuation based on proximal indicators of improvements. The present study will specifically use treatment components drawn from an evidence-based psychological intervention, the Unified Protocol for the Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP). This intervention has strong empirical support for patients presenting with anxiety, depressive, and related disorders and contains therapeutic skills that are common in psychological interventions (e.g., psychoeducation, mindfulness training, cognitive restructuring, countering emotional avoidance, increasing interoceptive tolerance). This study will determine if prioritizing the order of treatment modules to capitalize on patient strengths or compensate for weakensses increases treatmen efficacy. Additionally, it will also identify under what conditions briefer treatment modules may be appropriate.
This study examines the presence, severity and natural history of dysphagia and dysphonia in the post-extubation and severely unwell COVID-19 patient.
The study aims to investigate whether cell-based non-invasive prenatal testing (cbNIPT) can be used as an alternative to invasive chorionic villus sampling (CVS) in patients who achieve pregnancy following preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disorders (PGT-M).
Introduction: Work stress has become more and more important in the last years as it affects both health and productivity of workers. In the last years, different wearables devices have started to be used to monitor stress at work to understand their consequences on daily life activity and sleep quality. Objective: to establish whether wearable wristbands are devices capable of determining the work stress level of workers from a research center in Galicia, for which different variables related to the work stress level and quality of life of these workers will be evaluated. Methods and analysis: The only inclusion criterion is to be a worker from a research center from Galicia. As for exclusion criteria, will not be allowed to participate those workers who are close to retirement ( <5 years), have health issues that hinder participation in the study, or present skin hypersensitivity or allergic reactions due to the materials the wristbands are made. This is a pilot study to determine the viability, sample size, cost, and duration of the study. This is an observational, analytic, and longitudinal study. In other words, in this study different variables from the population of interest will be observed and recorded without any direct intervention, so as to establish causality associations between these variables. It is considered as longitudinal since a six-months tracking of the variables will be performed. As for the statistical analysis, different tests will be performed to analyse the distribution, correlation, and association of the different features, as well as the significant differences between them at different points of the study (detailed below).
Previous studies suggested that most patients with Cardiac Electronic Implantable devices have a perception of describing the lifestyle due to a limitation of daily activities and physical exercise, besides the consequences in the psychological aspects such as anxiety and depression. The MHOL-CEID is a randomized controlled trial that Verifies the effectiveness of the Mobile Health of lifestyle that focuses on aspects of physical functional, psychosocial, and quality of life of patients with Cardiac Electronic Implantable Device.
This study is a group controlled clinical trial. Parallel study, patients aged 40-70 years, with Parkinson disease. Twelve sessions, three times a week, for 30 minutes, simultaneously to the rehabilitation program. Training will consist of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation linked dual-task exercises or dual-taks exercises with cognitive training, applied three times a week during four weeks. The investigators will used instruments: dual-task gait speed (Auditory Stroop Task ), executive function (Wisconsin Card Sorting Test , Auditory Stroop Test, Trail Making Test, Verbal Fluency Test and Montreal Cognitive Assessment), and, the objective is to examine task-dependency in enhancing the effects of tDCS-linked rehabilitation training on PD and the relationships between baseline outcomes in responders and non-responders to therapy.
