Filter by:There is no current research to support the efficacy of a combination of equine-assisted activities (EAA) and brain building activities to influence motor skill competencies in youth with neurodevelopmental disorders (ND). The primary objective of this study was to quantify changes in motor skill proficiency before and after 8 weeks of EAA and brain-building activities in youth with ND. A secondary objective was to quantify changes in motor skill proficiency before and after 1 year of EAA and brain-building activities in youth with ND.
This is an observational case-control add-on study to an investigator-initiated clinical trial (IICT) (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03167307): Omega-3 fatty acids as firstline treatment in pediatric depression. A 36-week multi-centre, double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized superiority study. This project will recruit a healthy control group matched for age and sex to a sub-group of patients with diagnosed pediatric major depressive disorder (pMDD) enrolled in the IICT. The aim is to investigate the relationship of n-3 FA intake and status with mental health in children and adolescents with and without diagnosed pMDD, and explore potential biochemical mechanisms underlying this relationship by measuring biomarkers related to n-3 FA metabolism, mental health and cognitive function.
The specific aims of this studyare to examine the 1) feasibility; 2) acceptability; and 3) preliminary efficacy of a tailored music intervention in home-dwelling older adults with dementia suffering from sleep disruption. Sixty dyads (older adults with dementia and their caregivers) will be randomized to receive the tailored music intervention immediately or following a four week delay.
This is a Phase 2, single-site, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, proof-of-concept (POC) study involving 6 weeks of MAP4343 in conjunction with 6 weeks of manual-guided counseling, with 2 follow-up visits at 1 week and 1 month post-treatment.
The purpose of this study is to understand the role of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) in reducing opioid and other substance use and craving and improving thinking skills.
In a retrospective study, data were assessed from cases regarding PWS/AS that underwent molecular diagnosis at the National Chen-Kung University Hospital, Tainan, Taiwan, between January 2001 and December 2014.
This research evaluates a tool designed for measurement-based care in addiction treatment. Patients in addiction treatment will be invited to complete weekly measures indicating treatment progress and goals. For half the patients, their addiction treatment clinician will be able to view their weekly progress and goals via a secure dashboard. The research will test the feasibility and acceptability of the measurement-based care tool and will evaluate its impact on within-session discussion topics and clinical outcome measures.
This study was conducted to determine the effect of mindfulness-based education given to individuals with substance-use disorder according to Self-Efficacy Theory on self-efficacy perception. Sample was 112 (ewperimental group: 56; control group: 56) alpha=0,05 and power=0,80 et the and of study. The experimental group recevied, prepared in accordance with mindfulness, self-efficacy theory psychoeducation program, the control group received routine care. Data were collected 2 times: pretest, 2 month after intervention (for experimental group) and 2 month after pretest (for control group).
The primary aim of the present study was to elucidate the effect of a combination of functional foods on the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and on the distribution of the lipoprotein subclasses in subjects with hypercholesterolemia. To accomplish the latter, subjects that met the inclusion criteria and had mild hypercholesterolemia (Total cholesterol >200mg/dL, and LDL-C >130mg/dL <190 mg/dL) were recruited for double-blind, parallel, controlled dietary intervention study. After two weeks of dietary standardization with an isocaloric diet, subjects were randomized and allocated to either placebo or a dietary portfolio treatment for two months. The secondary endpoints were the size of the different lipoprotein subclasses, total cholesterol levels, high density -lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels, apolipoprotein B, triglycerides, total/HDL-C ratio, apolipoprotein B/apolipoprotein A ratio, and anthropometric measurements.
Emotion regulation difficulties appear to play a role in the development and maintenance of several eating disorders. This pilot study aims at examining whether a short add-on group skills training in emotion regulation for young adults with different eating disorders is feasible in a psychiatric clinical setting. We also investigate if the treatment increases knowledge of emotions, and decreases self-reported difficulties with emotion regulation, alexithymia, symptoms of eating disorder, anxiety and depression, as well as clinical impairment. Six skills training groups were piloted with a total of 29 participants (M = 21.41 years, SD = 1.92). The treatment consists of five sessions dealing with psychoeducation about emotions and emotion regulation skills training. Paired samples t-test was used to compare differences between before-and-after measures.
