Filter by:The overall objective of this study it to use Positron Emission Tomography (PET) brain imaging and a radiotracer that measures the epigenetic marker Histone Deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) to examine HDAC6 expression in people with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), or concurrent PTSD and AUD with control groups. While there are a large number of studies conducted in preclinical stress and addiction models, these findings have not been translated to people living with these disorders. We will examine relationships between HDAC6 and clinical variables of interest. Findings could direct treatment development.
Goal Management Training (GMT) is a program designed to help improve cognitive functioning. For this study, researchers have worked closely with the developers of this program to create a modified version called Trauma-Informed Goal Management Training (TI-GMT), that is more sensitive to the needs of public safety personnel (PSP) diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The goal of this clinical trial is to find out how effective this modified, Trauma-Informed Goal Management Training program is for public safety personnel diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, in comparison to the standard Goal Management Training program. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does Trauma-Informed Goal Management Training result in better neuropsychological functioning and greater reductions in the severity of PTSD symptoms when compared to standard Goal Management Training? 2. Does Trauma-Informed Goal Management Training result in self-reported improvements in cognitive functioning and the overall ability to function (including intent to return to work, and/or intent to stay at work, reductions in disability status, etc.) when compared to standard Goal Management Training? 3. Does Trauma-Informed Goal Management Training continue to benefit individuals three months after treatment? Participants will: - complete three separate assessments before starting the treatment - a clinical interview to evaluate symptoms, a cognitive assessment, and completing a set of questionnaires - participate in a nine-week group treatment program (one day a week for two hours) - complete three separate assessments after completing the treatment - a clinical interview to evaluate symptoms, a cognitive assessment, and completing a set of questionnaires - complete three separate assessments three months after completing the treatment - a clinical interview to evaluate symptoms, a cognitive assessment, and completing a set of questionnaires
The primary objective of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) -assisted psychotherapy to treat resistant post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The secondary objectives are the exploration of effectiveness for treatment-resistant PTSD, symptoms of depression, and anxiety symptoms.
The goal of this clinical trial is to characterize the role of sleep, emotion processing, and daily affect in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and whether improving sleep quality using slow wave activity enhancement will impact next-day affect in youth. Participants will attend 4 study visits: - A clinical and trauma assessment visit - A testing day that may include cognitive testing, surveys, and an MRI. - An overnight sleep study following one week of at-home sleep recordings with the device in the sham condition - An overnight sleep study following one week of at-home sleep recordings with the device in the sleep enhancement condition
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is prevalent among Veterans and effective evidence-based psychotherapies (EBPs) for PTSD have been implemented within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). However, retention in PTSD EBPs is poor. Premature dropout is associated with worse clinical outcomes and greater healthcare utilization. Delivery of PTSD EBPs in a massed format, typically three or more days per week delivered within a month, have shown promise for increasing retention. The present study is a pilot feasibility and acceptability study comparing massed PTSD treatment to treatment as usual (e.g., typically weekly treatment).
The overall objective of the proposed study is to determine if Dexmedetomidine HCl (BXCL501) is safe for treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD) with comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in an outpatient setting and also shows potential signals of efficacy thereby supporting the conduct of later phase clinical trials.
The current study will evaluate TF-CBT delivered via tele-health for youth presenting with trauma symptoms via a randomized controlled trial. Goals of the current study are to examine the effectiveness of Tele-TF-CBT delivered by community providers in Puerto Rico in improving youth trauma outcomes. Goals are also to support the feasibility, acceptability, and engagement outcomes of Tele-health delivery.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the feasibility of implementation aspects, treatment effects and change processes regarding a brief trauma-focused Internet-based CBT treatment, for patients who have been treated in trauma care at Karolinska University Hospital and who exhibit symptoms of psychological consequences of the traumatic event. Another aim is to explore factors (predictors, moderators and mediators) that influence the effect of the treatment, in order to better understand who responds to the treatment.
A battery of physiological and behavioral data will be collected before and after application of eTMS. Participants will be veterans or first responders diagnosed with PTSD. Study will be a double-blind, sham-controlled, parallel group, randomized clinical trial.
The purpose of this study is to examine the use of a brief transdiagnostic treatment for anxiety disorders and (post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in South Africa. The intervention will be delivered by non-specialist providers (e.g., nurses) in primary care clinics. The brief intervention group will be compared to an enhanced standard care control group.
