NCT ID: NCT04460300 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Essential Hypertension

Effects of Aromatherapy in Hypertensive Individuals

Start date: December 3, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Objective: To investigate the effect of aromatherapy on blood pressure and stress response by inhalation and foot massage in individuals with essential hypertension. Methods: The randomized controlled trial is performed with 69 individuals diagnosed with essential hypertension hospitalized. There are two interventions (group 1: aromatherapy-inhalation method, group 2: aromatherapy-foot massage) and a control group in the study. Blood pressure is measured with a digital sphygmomanometer after 10 minutes of rest; stress response is determined by heart rate, blood cortisol levels and anxiety scale. Aromatherapy with lavender oil is applied to the intervention groups; no application is made to the control group and routine follow-up at the hospital continued.

NCT ID: NCT04453709 Recruiting - Depression Clinical Trials

Family-centered Mental Health Promotion Intervention

Start date: August 17, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Goal: The long-term goal of the proposed research program is to test the effectiveness of a preventative behavioral intervention and to scale it up for use with broader immigrant populations to reduce stress and mental health disorders. Intervention: This study plan to adapt the World Health Organization developed Problem Management Plus (PMP), an evidence based, multi-component, behavioral intervention including breathing, problem solving, behavioral activation, and social support for immigrants. Hypothesis: Immigrants in the Problem Management Plus for Immigrants (PMP-I) will have significantly lower levels of stress and anxious/depressive symptoms as compared to immigrants in the talk program with Community Support Service pamphlets (CSS). Objective: The current study aims to pilot test the feasibility and acceptability of PMP-I among Bhutanese immigrants 18 years and older living in the Massachusetts.

NCT ID: NCT04100213 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Stress, Psychological

Real-Time Assessment of Stress and Stress Response

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

Stress is a complex natural phenomenon, frequently related to a physiological response, including heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, skin conductance and temperature. The subjective experience varies greatly; broadly, it may be conceived as a freeze, flight, fight, fright or faint response. Many studies have demonstrated the negative influence of psychological stress on health and well-being. Through the digital phenotyping of physiological and psychological stress reactions, in a controlled laboratory setting (Trier Social Stress Test- TSST) and real-life situations, in a population of healthy participants and patients with a major psychiatric disorder, we expect to find reliable and valid digital biomarkers. The results of this study will, therefore, not only contribute to a better understanding of stress and stress response but also have the potential to improve diagnostic and treatment approaches.

NCT ID: NCT02867657 Recruiting - Inflammation Clinical Trials

Bringing the Practice of Mindfulness Into Nature - Preventing Mental Fatigue in Healthcare Professionals.

Start date: June 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the study is to determine whether a five day mindfulness retreat in nature can increase measures of attention and self-compassion, and reduce stress among bachelor students at Danish Universities and University Colleges. Secondary whether the expression of inflammatory markers can be reduced . It is the hypothesis that perceived stress is reduced and the expression of genetic markers of inflammation is reduced after a five day mindfulness retreat.
