Filter by:The purpose of this protocol is to investigate the effectiveness of a manualized, 20-week group cognitive rehabilitation (CR) and exposure therapy (ET) course for compulsive hoarding. The overarching aim is to understand whether this course will decrease the core symptoms of hoarding and associated features.
This study proposes to compare two forms of treatment for Hoarding Disorder (HD), a common and impairing neuropsychiatric syndrome that has a profound impact on the lives and functioning of individuals, families, and society. Specifically, we will compare a novel community-based group treatment led by individuals from the community who are not mental health professionals to the current standard of care treatment for Hoarding Disorder, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, conducted by psychologists in a group setting. We hypothesized that both treatment types will be similarly effective in reducing hoarding severity.
The purpose of this research is to measure changes in brain activity with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) before and after cognitive-behavioral therapy for compulsive hoarding. Cognitive-behavioral therapy aims to help people change the thoughts and behaviors that maintain symptoms of hoarding. The investigators intend to enroll approximately 80 people with hoarding disorder and 40 people with no psychiatric disorder, between the ages of 20 and 60, for this study. The investigators believe that after treatment there will be changes in the brain activity of individuals with compulsive hoarding.
The proposed study aims to investigate the efficacy of a facilitated self-help group for the treatment of hoarding disorder. Eligible participants will take part in a facilitated self-help group. The investigators aim to investigate the effects of a self-help group on hoarding symptoms. The investigators hypothesize that participants will demonstrate decreased hoarding symptoms over time.
The primary aim of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to examine whether cognitive remediation, compared to a placebo, improves attention and related cognitive functions in patients with compulsive hoarding. The primary hypothesis is that compulsive hoarding patients who are treated with cognitive remediation will demonstrate improved cognitive skills at post-treatment compared to patients receiving placebo. This will be especially true of attention; memory and executive function skills may also be improved.
Available data suggest that compulsive hoarders have cognitive deficits, particularly with sustaining attention that might contribute their hoarding symptoms.
