Filter by:The overall strategy is to recruit veterans with PTSD who report minimal current cannabis use but are interested in or considering therapeutic cannabis to manage mental health symptoms (anxiety, depression, PTSD and/or suicidality). The information gained from this study could lead to the development of new treatments for persons who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder and maintain better mental health.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that occurs after a traumatic event and is estimated to affect 5 to 12% of the general population. Around 70% of patients suffering from this disorder report sleep disorders (sleep apnea, insomnia, recurring nightmares, etc.). There are specific sleep disorders called Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep behavior disorders which correspond to nocturnal restlessness with sometimes violent behavior, often associated with intense dreams during a phase of sleep called REM sleep. These disorders are more frequently found in patients suffering from post-traumatic stress, such as veterans. However, the physiopathological link between these two disorders is poorly understood and studies on this subject are few in number. Through this study, the investigators wish to demonstrate whether there is a correlation between the severity of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and that of Rapid Eye Movement sleep behavior disorder. The main objective is to study the relationship between the severity of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) Sleep Behavior Disorder. This is an observational prospective study based on 4 questionnaires relating to the sleep (PSQI), the severity of the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) Sleep Behavior Disorder (REM RBDSQ, IRBD-SSS) and the severity of the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PCL-5).
The goal of this clinical trial is to develop a new behavioral treatment for U.S. combat veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), very brief exposure to combat-related stimuli. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. How does Very Brief Exposure (combat images and control everyday images) and Visible Exposure to combat stimuli affect brain activity and subjective fear ratings? 2. To what extent are participants aware of the stimuli presented and tolerating the exposures? All participants will view both very brief exposure and visible exposure to combat stimuli in the functional magnetic brain imaging (fMRI) scan. They will provide ratings of fear, awareness, and tolerability. Researchers will compare U.S. combat veterans with PTSD and healthy controls to confirm differences in brain region activation and ratings.
This study is evaluating the safety and efficacy of methylone in adults with PTSD. The study is conducted in two parts. - Part A is open-label and will enroll up to 15 participants with PTSD - Part B is randomized (1:1), double-blind, placebo-controlled and will enroll up to 64 participants with PTSD Eligible participants will enter a 3-week Treatment Period where they will receive methylone (or placebo in Part B) once weekly for 3 weeks (3 treatment sessions). Following the Treatment Period, participants will enter a 6-week Follow-up Period.
The goal of this cross-sectional observational study is to analyze childbirth-related PTSD, traumatic birth experiences and stress symptoms postpartum. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the prevalence of traumatic birth experiences, PTSD and stress symptoms in a Swedish postnatal sample? - What are the risk factors for postnatal mental ill-health? Additional goals are to make cross-cultural translations of the instruments City BiTS and Birth Satisfaction Scale - Revised. Participants will answer an online surveys including several instruments measuring postnatal stress and mental ill-health.
The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) Research Institute is performing this research to accelerate diverse disease research using cells from the body (such as skin or blood cells) to make stem cells and other types of cells, conduct research on the samples, perform genetic testing, and store the samples for future use. Through this research, researchers hope to identify future treatments or even cures for the major diseases of our time.
The RSI-LTO study collects long-term outcomes from the RSI trial (NCT05277896). One-third of adults who are intubated in the ED or ICU experience symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD is a psychiatric disorder triggered by a "shocking, scary, or dangerous event." Critical illness, tracheal intubation, and mechanical ventilation can be traumatic and distressing events. Patients may recall the intubation procedure, the feeling of the breathing tube in their throat, or being unable to move ("paralyzed"). While on the breathing machine, patients may experience delirium, frightening hallucinations, and delusions. Patients with PTSD after critical illness can be hypervigilant, anxious, and troubled by intrusive thoughts, nightmares, and flashbacks that last months to years after critical illness and that PTSD negatively impacts patients' marriages, work, and quality of life and increases patients' risk of depression, anxiety, substance use disorder, and suicide. Ketamine may prevent PTSD symptoms by blocking the pathways in the brain's glutaminergic system that are responsible for the formation of traumatic memories In outpatients with chronic PTSD, a single dose of ketamine has been shown to reduce PTSD symptoms for up to 2 weeks. Even a modest reduction in PTSD would translate into tens of thousands of fewer cases of PTSD each year, more cases of PTSD each year than any other medical intervention evaluated to date.
This study is testing the usefulness of two types of Brain Health & Wellness classes for Veterans with a history of concussion to improve mental health.
Participation in post traumatic stress disorder observational study serves as a crucial contribution to advancing medical knowledge and refining the care provided to individuals facing similar health challenges. The primary objective centers on a meticulous examination of trial completion rates and voluntary withdrawals within this distinct patient population.
The primary objective of this study is to examine the effectiveness of a Brief Intensive Trauma Treatment (BITT) for adolescents with (s)PTSD.
