Filter by:This study aims to investigate the effect of a brief psychotherapeutic treatment intervention based on ACT, aimed specifically at the vulnerable group of patients in psychiatric 24-hour care treated according to LPT. The study aims to investigate whether a brief number of therapeutic sessions according to ACT during inpatient care produce positive effects on personally relevant life areas for a diagnostically mixed group of patients in a psychiatric intensive care unit.
This trial is comprised of a 4-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled treatment period followed by an optional 8-week open-label extension (OLE) period. This trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral PRAX-114 flexibly dosed at 40 to 60 mg for 4 weeks compared to placebo in adults with PTSD. The OLE period consisting of treatment with 40 mg PRAX-114 for 8 weeks will provide additional efficacy and safety data.
This project evaluates mindfulness based stress-reduction (MBSR), adjusted and manualized for intellectually able autistic adults. MBSR is a skills training program based on further development of cognitive behavioral therapy. The program includes eight weekly group training sessions and one full-day retreat, aiming at stress reduction and improved coping in everyday life, as well as improved mental health. The aspiration is to make ASD-adjusted MBSR an intervention that is acceptable and accessible to individuals with autism in open clinical care. This includes considering variability in background factors such as age, comorbidity and other personal qualities and preferences. The aim of the studies is to evaluate (1) the feasibility and (2) effectiveness of MBSR in adults (18 or over) with autism without intellectual disability, in an outpatient clinical habilitation context.
In the present study, investigators aim to (1) adapt the Making Connections Intervention (MCI) as an intervention to address telehealth engagement and examine whether this targeted intervention can improve youth engagement in telehealth treatment; and (2) assess attitudes towards help-seeking and therapeutic alliance from both the youth and clinician viewpoint to examine the impact of these factors on engagement in telemental health treatment. Forty adolescent participants ages 12-18 will be randomized to either telehealth treatment as usual (TAU) plus the telehealth Making Connections Intervention (MCI-T) engagement session or telehealth TAU alone and followed for 12 weeks from baseline assessment. All clinicians will receive training in the MCI-T intervention and provide either MCI-T + usual care or usual care only depending on the condition to which the adolescents are randomized. All evaluations and therapy sessions will be done over telehealth platform.
Monitoring of Biologic Signals of Elderly Patients
The study is a combined clinical patient outcome study and a health-services research sub-study. Illness management and recovery (IMR) constitutes an evidence-based practice with 11 modules focusing on personal recovery developed for adults with severe mental health illnesses. IMR can be offered in groups or individually, once a week for 10-12 months. Little is known about how young people experience the utility of IMR treatment groups in child and adolescent mental health outpatient clinics. The primary aim is to explore in-depth how the participants experience the utility of the IMR approach. The health research sub-study will provide new insights into the IMR implementation process in outpatient clinics for adolescents.
The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has lately caused worldwide health problems. Patients suffering from a severe mental disorder are at increased risk for infectious diseases. The primary aim of the present surveillance study is to perform COVID-19 serological testing on patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder or a bipolar affective disorder. Patients from the catchment area of the Capital Region of Denmark will be COVID-19 tested at baseline (0 months) and again at 6 and 12 months, in order to follow the spread of COVID-19 among this vulnerable patient population.
The aim of the present study is to examine Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase (FAAH) availability in humans, including healthy individuals and across a spectrum of psychiatric disorders in which alterations in the endocannabinoid system are observed.
This research study was designed to investigate the use of a simple cognitive task for decreasing the number of intrusive memories of traumatic events experienced by refugees and asylum seekers with a diagnosis of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) currently living in the UK. The intervention included a memory reminder cue, a 10-minute time gap and then around 20 minutes playing the mobile phone game Tetris, using mental rotation instructions. The study had a multiple baseline case-series design (AB), with a randomised duration of baseline length up to three weeks. Thus, participants completed a no-intervention phase of up to three weeks, followed by an intervention phase. Please see the intervention section for more details about the intervention sessions. Follow ups were conducted after each week to monitor the frequency of intrusive memories of trauma in a pen-and-paper diary. It was predicted that participants would report fewer intrusive memories after receiving the intervention than in the preceding baseline phase.
