Filter by:The goal of this randomised controlled trial is to evaluate the efficacy of an integrated intervention program on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and related physiological and psychological indicators of people living with HIV (PLWH). The main question it aims to answer are: - to evaluate the efficacy of the intervention program on PTSD symptoms and related physiological and psychological indicators of PLWH through empirical research. - to analyze the mechanism of the intervention. Eligible PLWH were recruited and randomly divided as intervention group and control group. The efficacy of Trauma Resiliency Mindfulness-Informed Intervention on PTSD symptoms and related physiological and psychological indicators in PLWH was evaluated at baseline, after intervention, and 3 months after intervention through this randomized controlled trial. Researchers compared the intervention group and control group to see if it was feasible and had potential clinical value to introduce the Trauma Resiliency Mindfulness-Informed intervention program into the management of PLWH in China.
Implementation and evaluation of video consultation in psychiatric outpatient treatment. The study will focus on patients' experiences regarding the use of VC. The study will also examine important aspects of the telepsychiatric consultation such as therapeutic alliance, consultation content, psychopathology and satisfaction levels compared to face-to-face consultations.
The goal of this study is to refine and test a strategy for engaging veterans with symptoms of depression and/or anxiety as volunteers to help English language learners (ELLs) improve their speaking skills via structured conversations using videoconferencing.
Many patients suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are resistant to established treatment consisting of psychotherapy. Patients often go years with this debilitating disorder without experiencing sufficient improvement. Approximately 1/3 of patients will drop out of treatment because of psychological burden and overactivation. A novel ketogenic diet treatment could amend established treatment, and potentially upregulate the threshold for exciting neurons in dysfunctional brain regions, mediated through various mechanisms. This may reduce PTSD symptoms, and thus enabling patients to respond to psychological treatment without getting overactivated and unable to process trauma. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether it is possible to carry out a ketogenic diet therapy for patients with PTSD for four weeks.
Between 50-80 percent of patients in psychiatry have insomnia-type sleep problems. In addition to reduced quality of life and impaired function, sleep problems can aggravate other psychiatric problems and increase the risk of relapse into, for example, depression. According to international guidelines, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-i) should be used as the first choice for treatment of insomnia. In practice, however, it is very uncommon for psychiatric patients to be offered CBT-i, instead most are treated with sleep medications. There is also a lack of research studies evaluating CBT-i in regular clinical practice. This pilot study investigated the feasibility of a group treatment with CBT-i at a psychiatric outpatient clinic in Stockholm for patients with depression, bipolar disorder II, anxiety syndrome and PTSD. Changes in symptoms of insomnia, depression, and anxiety after treatment were also investigated. Patients with self-perceived sleep problems were offered a six-session group treatment based on CBT-i. The primary outcome was clinical feasibility, defined as: the influx of patients sufficient to start at least one group per semester (at least 8 patients); at least half of included patients participate in the first session; patients participate in at least half of the sessions; less than half of the patients drop out of treatment; group leaders find the treatment manual credible, easy to use and want to continue working with it after the study is completed. Secondary outcomes were changes in insomnia symptoms, and changes in symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based treatment method for children and adolescents who have been exposed to traumatic experiences and who are experiencing posttraumatic stress symptoms. TF-CBT has been implemented in Norwegian child and adolescent mental health clinics since 2012. The Ministry of Health is funding the implementation project, and the Norwegian Center for Violence and Traumatic Stress Studies (NKVTS) is responsible for the implementation, including training of therapists, quality monitoring, and research.
The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy of Attention Control Training with the inclusion of feedback for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It seems that the most efficient ABMT method to balance attention bias variability (ABV) among individuals with PTSD is Attention Control Training (ACT). This type of training is designed to balance attention allocation towards threat-related and neutral stimuli. A few studies have further shown that this training type succeeds in balancing the aberrant fluctuations in attention bias observed in patients with PTSD, and that this leads to a reduction in PTSD symptoms (Badura-Brack et al., 2015). The purpose of the current study is to examine the efficacy of ACT that also includes feedback. Specifically, we intend to test whether the inclusion of feedback on top of standard ACT may enhance training efficacy in reducing ABV and in reducing PTSD symptoms.
Trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based practice (EBP) for the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) among children and adolescents. In the current study, data were collected from youth receiving TF-CBT in specialized child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) and their caregivers in 2018-2021.
This study examines the ability of an innovative telehealth technology system to enhance Concurrent Treatment of PTSD and Substance Use Disorders using Prolonged Exposure (COPE) talk-therapy for individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and alcohol use disorder.
