Group-based Stabilization & Skill Training for Patients With Lasting

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates the addition of a group based stabilization and skill-training intervention to individual out-patient treatment for long lasting post-traumatic reactions. Half of the participants will receive the combined treatment while the other half will receive individual treatment as usual.

Clinical Trial Description

Many patients in mental health care have previously experienced life-stressors and traumatic events that are related to the problems they seek treatment for. Although the diagnostic labels vary, the clinical picture often demonstrates long lasting complex psychological and somatic post-traumatic symptoms such as avoidance, bodily activation, difficulties in regulating emotions and in relationships with others, impaired quality of life and reduced level of function. Patients often receive long-term individual therapy in general mental health care, occasionally without clinically significant improvement. Still, they continue treatment due to high symptom pressure and low level of functioning. The study targets a novel intervention which tests the effect of adding a group based stabilization and skill training intervention to conventional individual treatment among 160 patients already receiving treatment in a community mental health hospital. Change in variables covering mental health issues, functional impairment, well-being, use of hospital services and drug prescriptions will be examined, as well as markers of inflammation found in sera before and after intervention. The purpose is to develop better and more effective treatment options for a large number of patients who receive mental health care in community mental health hospitals. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
