Filter by:Anxiety disorders are the most common mental disorders in community settings, and they are associated with significant psychological distress, functional and social impairment. Although pharmacological and psychological treatments for anxiety and depression have existed for several years now, only a minority of anxiety disorder sufferers are treated according to guidelines. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is the most consistently efficacious psychological treatment for anxiety disorders, but implementation of CBT in primary care is challenging due to limited resources. Recent studies indicate that transdiagnostic group CBT for multiple anxiety disorders could be a promising alternative to individual CBT in primary care. The aim of the study is to examine the effectiveness of group CBT for anxiety disorders as a complement to usual care. The clinical trial will be conducted in three Health and Social Services Centers in the province of Québec (i.e. Sherbrooke, Laval and Québec). Patients will be French-speaking adults with anxiety disorders, and they will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment conditions: a) Transdiagnostic group CBT (12 weekly 2-hour sessions), b) usual care. The transdiagnostic group CBT will be offered as a differed intervention to participants in the usual care group after the 8-month follow up. Participants in both study arms will undergo a baseline clinical evaluation as well as outcome assessment interviews at post-treatment, 4, 8, and 12 month follow-up time-points. The primary study results will include improvement on a questionnaire on anxiety symptoms. Widespread implementation of group CBT could lead to better outcomes for a large number of patients living with anxiety.
Anxiety is among the most prevalent, costly and disabling illnesses and tends emerge early in childhood. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the first-line treatment for early life anxiety, but as many as 40% of young patients who receive CBT fail to get better. The proposed study will examine brain changes marking positive response to CBT for anxiety and how these changes may differ in children compared adolescents. By helping us to understand how CBT works, this study will pave the way for new treatments to stop anxiety early.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether neuroimaging-based markers of maladaptive self-focused processing are better predictors of treatment response to cognitive-behavioral therapy than behavioral markers.
The study will test the efficacy of propranolol or placebo, administered after retrieval of a previously acquired public speaking fear, in reducing fear and avoidance of public speaking.
Objectives 1. To test the effectiveness and acceptability of an augmented internet-supported transdiagnostic intervention in Romania. 2. To assess the cost-effectiveness of the Internet version of the transdiagnostic program as compared to a standard treatment/usual care.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment of patients with anxiety according to the Collabri Model is more effective in reducing symptoms compared to treatment as usual (TAU)
Anxiety disorders occur in up to 35% of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and have a negative effect on gait, dyskinesia, freezing, on/off fluctuations, and quality of life. With this Randomized Controlled Trial the investigators intend to 1) develop a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) module for anxiety in PD 2) assess the effectiveness of this module in reducing anxiety symptoms, and 3) study the effects of CBT on cerebral connectivity. Effective CBT treatment of anxiety will provide patients with behavioural and anxiety management techniques that can give lasting benefits, not only on anxiety symptoms, but potentially also on motor symptoms.
This study evaluates the addition of a self-compassion training in the treatment of social anxiety disorder. Half of the participants will receive a self-compassion enhanced group cognitive-behavioral therapy, while the other half will receive standard group cognitive-behavioral therapy.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether the PH94B nasal spray is effective for Acute Treatment of the symptoms of Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) in adult men and women. The hypothesis is that PH94B nasal spray (.8 micrograms) has a rapid onset of efficacy to improve performance and interaction anxiety in patients with diagnosed Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD).
PROTECT-AD is a cognitive behavioral treatment study involving highly qualified psychotherapeutic centers at seven German universities. It is our goal to further investigate and optimize existing effective treatments of anxiety disorders. In order to achieve this, the investigators want to investigate the effect of extinction learning in an "intensified" psychological intervention on treatment outcome in adults and children with anxiety disorders. The intensified psychological intervention is characterized by a higher number of exposure trials over a short time period. In the control condition the exposure trials take place in a weekly interval, analog to standard care.
