Filter by:Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a common and serious condition affecting many Veterans. There are effective treatments for PTSD, but additional treatments are needed in order to better serve Veterans suffering from PTSD. Transcranial magnetic stimulation is one such promising treatment. It involves use of powerful magnet to stimulate the specific brain regions in Veterans with PTSD. Transcranial magnetic stimulation has been shown effective in treating depression, but currently it is unclear if it is an effective treatment for PTSD. This is a randomized clinical trial enrolling 91 Veterans with PTSD comparing the effectiveness of transcranial magnetic stimulation treatment and sham transcranial magnetic stimulation in treating PTSD. The hypothesis is that those who receive transcranial magnetic stimulation will experience improved functioning.
The purpose of this research study is to determine if taking a pill of estradiol (E2) together with prolonged exposure (PE) therapy can improve this treatment outcome in women diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). 80 subjects will take part in this research study across NYU Langone Health and UPenn (40 subjects at each site). Participants will be randomized into one of two groups, PE + E2 or PE + placebo. The study will include preliminary screening and baseline visits, experimental visits, and therapy visits over the course of six weeks. Several follow-up visits will take place.
The preparation of ICU Diary, conducted by the Hospital care team towards the patient, has been suggested as an effective and low-cost strategy to enhance the patient's experience in the intensive care unit, as well as to prevent anxiety, depression and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). New-found researches in Brazilian ICUs indicates the pervasiveness of these symptoms in patients who have been hospitalized in the unit, however, there are no randomized trials that evaluate the impact of Diaries in the Brazilian context. The aim is to explore the effects of providing an ICU Diary in the symptoms of anxiety, depression and PTSD within patients who were hospitalized in the unit. Refers to a randomized controlled trial that is being conducted in two ICUs in a general-purpose hospital in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a 6-week period of ketone salt supplementation affects physiological, emotional, cognitive, and/or behavioral health markers in individuals with PTSD.
Study to provide evidence of efficacy for Rapid Resolution Therapy in symptoms of PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression in survivors of sexual violence.
To evaluate if intranasal insulin is effective in reducing PTSD symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to test whether a mobile app can improve mindful awareness, attention, and psychological well-being in Veterans and cancer survivors with mild to moderate PTSD symptoms. Because many of those experiencing trauma symptoms do not receive evidence-based care for PTSD, it is important to identify effective means of delivering efficacious treatments, like mindfulness-based interventions, using technology-based channels. In the proposed study, Veterans with PTSD will be recruited using social media advertising and will be randomized to one of 2 groups: no treatment control group or Mindfulness Coach mobile app. Participants in each of the 2 groups will be asked to complete measures of mindfulness and psychological well- being at baseline (prior to randomization) and again at 8-weeks (immediately post-treatment) and 16-weeks (8 weeks after completing treatment).
People often have difficulty sleeping. Reasons are many. But, difficulty falling and staying asleep are common issues. Sleep difficulties are common in disorders such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Current treatments for sleep difficulties are not effective for everyone. Better treatments are needed. In this study, the investigators are testing two nerve stimulation locations that may impact brain function in such a way that sleep is improved.
This study will test for effects of estradiol (E2) on PTSD symptoms and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) indicators of stress vulnerability, in naturally-cycling women who are not using hormonal birth control. Enrollment will be targeted to create three groups within two cohorts (early follicular phase and luteal phase): 1. PTSD: Women who meet Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) criteria for PTSD 2. Trauma-Exposed (TC): Women matched for age and trauma exposure severity but without PTSD 3. Healthy Control (HC): Women matched for age, but without trauma history or psychiatric disorder (self-reported) Women will be recruited through Grady Trauma Project (GTP), a large longstanding study of civilian trauma and PTSD conducted at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia.
The purpose of this study is to compare two kinds of therapy for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): exposure therapy (ET) and Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT). The results of this study will allow us to see if IPT and ET are equally effective in treating PTSD due to Military Sexual Trauma, with the long-term goal of making PTSD treatment effective for as many people as possible.
