Filter by:This is an add-on substudy to an already-approved clinical trial "A Multi-Site Phase 3 Study of MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy for PTSD" (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03537014) which is to be a phase 3 clinical trial studying the efficacy of MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. The parent study has been approved by Copernicus Group IRB and is being run by the MAPS Public Benefit Corporation, and is a randomized controlled trial comparing the clinical efficacy of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy to Placebo-assisted psychotherapy. The parent study will recruit participants with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and involves 20 total study visits over the course of 18 weeks including 3 preparatory psychotherapy visits plus 3 separate treatment sessions involving psychotherapy plus the administration of MDMA vs. placebo and 3 follow up psychotherapy visits after each treatment session. This substudy adds on the collection of saliva in a salivary DNA collection kit at baseline and after treatment to the parent study clinical trail so as to assess whether the MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy exerts influence on the epigenetic regulation of stress-associated genes as assessed in the salivary epithelial and white blood cells of the research participants. We aim to further assess whether any such changes are correlated with improvements in PTSD symptoms.
This study aims to test whether aerobic exercise performed after fear extinction learning improves cognitive, physiological, and neural indices of extinction recall in a sample of trauma-exposed men and women with and without posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Participants will complete a clinical intake visit (Day 0), followed by a three-day fear conditioning (day 1), fear extinction + activity (day 2), and fear extinction recall (day 3) protocol.
This study will evaluate a new form of non-invasive deep brain therapy for individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Low-intensity transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation will first be delivered using a range of stimulation parameters during psychophysical and physiological monitoring. A well-tolerated stimulation protocol will be selected for subsequent testing in a blinded randomized sham-controlled cross-over trial. The trial will evaluate brain target engagement using magnetic resonance imaging and numerical scales of PTSD, cognitive performance, and mood.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test how exercise affects learning and memory processes relevant to the treatment of PTSD. Participants will complete a baseline intake followed by two experimental sessions. During the first experimental session, participants will undergo an MRI session of imaginal exposure to traumatic memory cues followed by 30-minutes of moderate intensity exercise or low intensity walking. Participants will complete a second session of imaginal exposure with MRI 24 hours later.
The goal of this pilot quasi-randomized study is test the feasibility, acceptability, and initial efficacy of Yoga for Warriors treatment program for comorbid chronic pain and PTSD, conducted virtually through the Richmond Veterans Affairs Medical Center (RICVAMC). the main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Whether a virtual intervention for chronic pain and PTSD is feasible and acceptable for veterans. 2. Using a wait-list control group design, to determine preliminary efficacy of the intervention. 3. Examine follow-up data to determine if benefits are maintained over time.
"The Norwegian Adult Mental Health Registry" (NAMHR) is a medical quality register collecting and systematizing data on patients and their treatment in specialist mental health care for adults in Norway. The main purpose is to create a documentation basis for quality assurance, evaluation, and improvement of assessment and treatment for patients who are offered treatment for mental disorders in the specialist health service. The register uses automatic data capture from various existing data sources. New patients are automatically included, but given the opportunity for reservations from the register without affecting their services and treatment.
The purpose of this study is to identify how trauma-focused psychotherapy changes the function of brain circuitry in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and how this mediates improvements in the diminished ability to experience positive emotions following a traumatic or extremely stressful life event. In this instance, the investigators will be using cognitive processing therapy (CPT), a widely-utilized and evidence-based treatment for PTSD.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an individualized treatment trajectory in which the order of trauma therapy for the parent (Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy), trauma therapy for the child (EMDR therapy) and attachment-based therapy (Dutch short-term intervention for atypical parenting behavior (NIKA)) is tailored towards the complex needs of victimized parents and their young children (4-6 y/o) after domestic violence. The treatment trajectory is based on a guidance document that supports therapists to determine the optimal order of interventions based on a standardized set of factors. The primary goals of this study are: 1. To examine how post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)-symptoms of parent and child and parental sensitive and disruptive parenting behavior develop and interact over time, while they follow the individualized treatment trajectory. 2. To test whether the start of the treatment trajectory (e.g. the phase in which parents can receive NIKA and EMDR therapy and their child can receive EMDR therapy) leads to a decrease in disruptive parenting behavior towards the child, an increase in sensitive parenting behavior towards the child, and a decrease in PTSD symptoms of the parent in comparison to the baseline phase. 3. To test whether the start of the treatment trajectory (e.g. the phase in which children can receive EMDR therapy and their parent can receive NIKA and EMDR therapy) leads to a decrease in PTSD symptoms of the child in comparison to the baseline phase.
This is a prospective, home-based, interventional clinical study in which 6 subjects will be enrolled. Six (6) subjects who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder will receive treatment using the NeuroGlove.
Psychosis patients with comorbid PTSD will be treated with trauma therapy.
