Filter by:The primary objectives of this proposal are to develop objective pre-deployment predictors of PTSD and test two pre-deployment resiliency interventions.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of KIDNET versus a Meditation/Relaxation protocol in treating traumatized children in Sri Lanka when applied by locally trained teacher counsellors.
This is a pilot trial to see if one or two 40 treatment courses of low pressure hyperbaric oxygen therapy can improve cognition and brain imaging in subjects with either chronic mild-moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI), also known as post-concussion syndrome (PCS) or chronic PCS with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) secondary to blast injury.
This study will examine whether interpersonal psychotherapy is as effective in treating post-traumatic stress disorder as the established therapies of prolonged exposure and relaxation.
This study will determine whether a specialized Web site geared for the guardians of children whose one parent has murdered the other can increase guardian capabilities, reduce guardian stress, and improve child behavior and mental health.
Developing novel and effective pharmacologic interventions for this post-traumatic stress disorder is important. The investigators propose to replicate findings of an earlier published pilot study using low dose hydrocortisone as a treatment for PTSD. In order to do so in a more meaningful way, the investigators will conduct a larger but similar randomized double-blind placebo-controlled, cross-over design treatment study examining the use of low dose hydrocortisone (or placebo) for 4 weeks in combat veterans suffering from PTSD. The investigators hypothesize that, as described by Aerni et al. (2004), administration of daily hydrocortisone will lead to a reduction in PTSD symptom severity, but particularly for re-experiencing types (e.g., flashbacks, nightmares)of symptoms. The investigators also hope to examine potential predictors and moderators of treatment response based on subjects' clinical characteristics, as well as serum cortisol and ACTH levels.
The purpose of this study is to examine if treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder in combat veterans with paroxetine changes brain responses as measured by functional magnetic resonance imaging and if brain responses can predict who will get better with treatment.
This project evaluated the impact of semi-structured, standardized interviews on the initial PTSD C&P on the examination.
This multi-centred study will be conducted at three centres. The design will be a randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group one. This investigation will evaluate the efficacy of add-on Quetiapine XR (extended release) treatment for patients who meet diagnostic criteria for depressive disorders and one or more comorbid anxiety disorder.
This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study evaluating the efficacy and safety of high-frequency (20Hz) rTMS applied to the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex for 6 weeks. The primary objective is to evaluate the change in PTSD symptoms before and after six weeks of high-frequency rTMS treatment as measured by the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) in both active and control groups.
