Filter by:A study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SEP-363856 in subjects with Parkinson's Disease Psychosis. This study is accepting male and female participants 55 years of age and older who have been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. This study will be conducted in 24 study centers in the United States. The study will last approximately 21 weeks.
A randomized controlled trial was conducted from November 2015 and May 2016 with 112 participants of people diagnosed with schizophrenia. Participants aged 18 years or older with Diagnostic Statistical Manual (DSM-V) schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder from outpatient mental health clinics in Jordan, were randomly assigned participants either to receive 6 weeks of a booklet form of intervention with face to face discussion, and treatment as usual (TAU) (intervention, n = 56), or TAU (control, n = 56). Participants were assessed at baseline, immediately post-intervention (post-treatment1) and at three months follow-up. The primary outcome measure was change in helplessness score . Secondary outcomes for PDwS were psychiatric symptoms, recovery rate and quality of life.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether specialty care is superior to usual care in the treatment of patients at clinical high risk for psychosis.
Older adults with psychotic disorders experience a dual set of challenges: those related to serious mental illness, and those related to aging. They have medical, cognitive, psychological and social difficulties; as a result they have an almost four times greater likelihood of early institutionalization in nursing homes. These challenges make it difficult for this group to engage in health behaviors, such as exercise. This is unfortunate, since participation in health-promoting activities is essential for maintaining functional independence with age. This study aims to develop and pilot test a peer coaching intervention for older Veterans with psychotic disorders, in which VA Peer Specialists, who are Veterans in recovery from mental illness, will provide intensive coaching to older Veterans with psychotic disorders to promote their participation in exercise and physical activity. Results from this study will inform us as to whether this intervention is acceptable to Veterans, feasible to implement, and effective in increasing exercise, physical activity, and physical fitness/function.
The investigators have designed an innovative proof-of-concept trial designed to provide data as to whether the treatment/rehabilitation efficacy and functional outcome of patients with organic brain syndrome are improved with intranasal inhalations of bioactive factors (BF), produced by autologous M2 macrophages (auto-M2-BFs). The rationale for this approach is the ability of central nervous system to repair and the important role of macrophages in the regulation of this process. It was found that type 2 macrophages have anti-inflammatory and reparative potential, whereas M1 cells possess pro-inflammatory and neurotoxic effects. Action of M2 macrophages is largely realized through the production a wide variety of bioactive factors (cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, neuropeptides, microvesicles etc) that inhibit inflammation, protect neurons from apoptosis, stimulate neurogenesis, the growth and remyelination of axons, the formation of new synapses and activate angiogenesis. This study uses auto-M2-BFs, as therapeutic agents and intranasal administration focusing on nose to brain transport, as a mode of delivery. Expected clinical effects in treated subjects: improvement of cognitive functions (memory, language, attention); correction of focal neurological deficit (paresis, spasticity, sensory disorders); reduction vestibular/ataxic disorders (vertigo, unsteadiness when walking); reduction of headaches; reduction of asthenia (weakness, fatigue); correction of emotional disorders (anxiety, depression).
This study will be a randomized controlled trial that investigates the effectiveness of digital picture frames (DPF) installed in inpatient rooms on long stay inpatient wards servicing schizophrenia clients at CAMH. The effects on client experience will consider the domains of self-concept, interactions with healthcare staff, perception of space, and implications for the recovery process. The comparison of inpatient client experience with DPFs versus a control group (Treatment as Usual - TAU), offers the opportunity to examine the effectiveness of this type of environmental adaptation. This trial builds upon earlier work that demonstrated the feasibility of DPFs in this context.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether use of a suite of smart phone enabled mobile health devices can reduce burnout in medical trainees. Such applications can then be used in more general populations with the same goal in mind.
The investigators propose to examine the effectiveness of a brief intervention that might better facilitate the transition into the community for people with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder with psychotic features. The intervention is called the Welcome Basket. It involves Peer Support Workers connecting with and supporting hospitalized individuals in the days before discharge and again in the community in the first month immediately following discharge. The investigators will compare the outcomes of discharge from hospital as usual with the full version of the welcome basket and a preliminary test of an abbreviated 2 visit version of the intervention.
Cycle Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (Cycle) is developing an oral tablet formulation of Chlorpromazine Hydrochloride and intends to conduct bioequivalence trials to demonstrate its similarity to the RLD. The aim of this pilot study is to investigate intrasubject variability in the bioavailability of Chlorpromazine Hydrochloride 25 mg sugar coated tablets. Cycle aims to demonstrate that Chlorpromazine Hydrochloride has a shallow dose response curve and a wide safety margin. This will then allow for the modification of bioequivalence acceptance criteria in future pivotal studies which will reduce the number of participants required whilst still maintaining assurance of safety and efficacy. Pilot Subjects (n): 20 Periods: 2 (2xR) Dosing: Single-dose Strength: 25 mg Test Product: N/A Reference: USL PHARMA Chlorpromazine Hydrochloride Analytes (in plasma): Chlorpromazine; 7-Hydroxychlorpromazine Bioequivalence based on 90% CI (Cmax, AUC): Standard; 80.00 - 125.00%
This study seeks to implement wrap around services for Veterans suffering from co-occurring mental illness and substance use and who are homeless. It will compare Implementation as Usual of MISSION to Facilitation Implementation of MISSION.
