Filter by:Background: Individuals with neurological conditions (stemming from brain injury or stroke) can experience high levels of emotional distress leading to decreased quality of life and increased health care costs. Though mental health problems are prevalent and disabling, they often go untreated for various reasons, such as access to specialized care, rural and remote location, lack of time, or concerns about stigma related to seeking care. Internet delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) overcomes barriers to face-to-face therapy by often reaching a much wider group of patients who experience unequal access to health care. The internet based program is based on cognitive behaviour therapy, which is an evidenced-based treatment that helps patients identify and modify thoughts and behaviours that contribute to their mental health concerns. ICBT has been shown to be effective in improving psychosocial outcomes such as depression and anxiety, along with disability and quality of life among persons with chronic health conditions. Rationale: Despite evidence for ICBT among those with other chronic conditions, its efficacy has yet to be evaluated among those with neurological conditions such as brain injury and stroke. Objective: The aim of the current study is to pilot an ICBT program developed through a patient oriented approach to improve overall wellbeing among those with mild traumatic brain injury. Methods: In this project, an ICBT program for those with mild traumatic brain injury developed through an patient oriented approach (Phase 1) will be piloted amongst a small group of participants (n=20) to examine acceptability, feasibility, and limited efficacy. At the end of the program, participants will be asked to complete a brief semi-structured interview examining barriers and facilitators to the ICBT program. Participant feedback from the interviews will be used to further improve the ICBT program to meet the needs of the population. The results from the study will be used to guide larger studies to evaluate effectiveness of the program in a community setting. Anticipated Impact: Ultimately, the proposed project aims to improve overall wellbeing and access to health care service for those who have mild traumatic brain injury and mental health concerns.
The purpose of this online research study is to determine whether or not a gradual caffeine reduction program developed at Johns Hopkins can help people reduce their caffeine use. The investigators will provide materials to help guide caffeine reduction and ask questions to track caffeine use over several weeks. The investigators will also assess how reducing caffeine may benefit common caffeine-related problems such as anxiety, sleep disturbances, and gastrointestinal distress. The study will also determine whether or not people like participating in this caffeine reduction program in an online format.
to determine safety and efficacy of Tranexamic Acid in reducing blood loss during Myomectomy in our institution.
Research Objective: Primary outcome -To compare efficacy Intrauterine vs Sublingual MISOPROSTOL in addition to Oxytocin in reducing blood loss of post-cesarean section in high risk women Secondary outcome -To study Hemoglobin/Hematocrit change, need of uterotonic agents, need of blood transfusion, adverse drug event of Intrauterine vs Sublingual Misoprostol plus Oxytocin compare to Oxytocin alone Hypothesis: -Intrauterine MISOPROSTOL plus Oxytocin is not inferior to Sublingual MISOPROSTOL plus Oxytocin in reducing blood loss of post-cesarean section in high risk women
This project will evaluate a new course developed for nurses that provide care to children with breathing technology including breathing tubes and home breathing machines. The investigators plan to assess the nurses' knowledge and comfort of their ability to care for these medical technologies prior to the course as well as their ability to retain their knowledge 6 weeks and 6 months after course completion.
The primary aim of the study is to test the feasibility, safety and efficacy of a manual based, Internet-delivered, behavior therapy (I-BT) for trichotillomania and skin picking disorder.
This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. It will assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of orally administered single and multiple doses of EDP-297 in healthy adult subjects.
This is a retrospective, multi center clinical study collecting existing, de-identified subject data from medical records to be analyzed using an independent core laboratory to validate performance of a computational ECG mapping system (vMap™).
This single-center, clinical trial consists of a one autologous fat grafting treatment followed by 3-month and 6-month post-treatment visits in order to assess the efficacy of fat grafting when used by men and women with facial acne scars.
The objective of the study is to collect clinical data of patients in whom Flebogrif® will have been used for mechanochemical ablation of incompetent veins in the follow-up period, as related to the safety, clinical effectiveness, properties and advantages of Flebogrif®. The proposed study is a prospective, multi-centre clinical trial assessing the safety, efficacy and quality of Flebogrif® in a population of patients with the incompetent great saphenous vein, who require surgical treatment.
