NCT ID: NCT06301360 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Somatic Symptom Disorder

Internet Based Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy for Functional Somatic Disorder With and Without Therapist Support

Start date: December 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Functional somatic syndromes (e.g. irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia) and medically unexplained symptoms (e.g. chronic primary pain) are very common in primary care. These patients make 14 times more doctor visits than the general population, but describe themselves as less satisfied with the care they receive. Although Region Stockholm in Sweden recently developed care flows based on 'step up' care for the most common patient groups in primary care, patients with functional or medically unexplained symptoms are not mentioned. Short-term psychodynamic therapies such as Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET) and Intensive Short Term Psychodynamic Therapy (ISTDP) have recently been evaluated in three systematic reviews and show good results for patients with medically unexplained symptoms. Short-term psychodynamic therapy considers that good treatment outcomes for patients with functional somatic syndromes can be achieved by increasing awareness of emotions and teaching patients to better experience, express and regulate emotions. In several randomized studies, short-term psychodynamic therapy has shown good effects even compared to other treatments, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The overall purpose of this research project is to to evaluate psychodynamic emotion-focused interventions (EAET and ISTDP) for patients with medically unexplained symptoms/functional somatic symptoms (MUS/FSD). The project includes several studies that will clarify effects and contribute to information on how care flows in primary care for the patient group can be created. The research question for this specific study is: Is internet-based Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (I-EAET) with therapist more effective than without therapist support for patients with FSD?

NCT ID: NCT05946512 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Post COVID-19 Condition

MR-spectroscopy in Post-covid Condition Prior to and Following a Yoga Breathing Intervention

SpeCY
Start date: July 24, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

From a clinical perspective, we find that many patients with Post COVID condition suffer from severe and debilitating shortness of breath, while routine pulmonary investigations fail to find the cause of the problems experienced. If dyspnea is associated with palpitations, dizziness or anxiety, patients are commonly diagnosed with "dysfunctional breathing". From a psychosomatic perspective, the symptom of dysfunctional breathing can be classified as a "functional symptom" under the umbrella term of somatic symptom disorder. Therefore, Yoga interventions with special emphasis on breath-guided relaxation are a promising approach. We aim to investigate the psycho-somatic and somato-psychic pathophysiology on a morphological, psychological, functional and biological basis underlying the symptom of dysfunctional breathing. Furthermore, we plan to investigate the mechanism of Yoga intervention on the mental and somatic symptom burden of participants with Post COVID condition. Then, we aim to compare the impact of Yoga on other groups - healthy individuals, patients with chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD), as well as those with somatic symptom disorder. As a control intervention to Yoga guided breathing exercises a social contact group will be used.

NCT ID: NCT05792930 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Somatic Symptom Disorder

Developing an Integrated Psychotherapy With Cognitive-behavioral Therapy and Biofeedback Therapy for Somatic Symptom Disorder

Start date: July 11, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This research program is aimed to develop a integrative psychotherapy (including CBT and biofeedback therapy) and to examine its efficacy on treatment of somatic symptom disorder. The study design is a randomized controlled trial with waiting list control. Scores of Patient Health Questionniare-15 and Health Anxiety Questionnaire are the primary endpoints.

NCT ID: NCT05666921 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Somatic Symptom Disorder

Alexithymia and Attachment Style in Patients With Somatic Symptoms

Start date: June 15, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

To evaluate whether emotional awareness, attachment style and the ability to abstract and symbolize (IQ) influence the appearance of somatic symptoms. Hypothesis: the investigators expect the presence of somatic symptoms linked to the lower ability of emotional awareness, to lower ability to abstract and symbolize and to an insecure attachment style.
