Filter by:From a psychoevolutionary perspective, anger is a universal emotion that can serve the function of making us aware of wrongdoing and motivating us to undo/correct the wrongdoing. However, it is well recognized in clinical psychology that anger can be maladaptive, often causing distress and impairment in various areas of day-to-day life; untreated maladaptive anger has been found to raise the risk of certain physical health problems e.g., hypertension and coronary heart disease. At the very extreme, rage has been implicated in aggression and violence. Not surprisingly, there has been a widespread quest for anger treatments or what is popularly called "anger management". One treatment approach that has received increasing empirical support is Cognitive Behavioral Affective Therapy (CBAT), which has been applied to patients with chemical dependence and individuals with chronic pain. To extend this programmatic line of research, the proposed research aims to evaluate the efficacy of CBAT in reducing multiple (psychometric and self-monitored) measures of anger within a community sample.
This is a prospective clinical study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GVM±R in patients with relapsed or refractory aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL).
The study is researching an experimental drug called odronextamab, referred to as study drug. The study is focused on patients with previously treated aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma whose cancer has stopped responding to treatment (also known as 'refractory') or has returned (also known as 'relapsed'). The aim of the study is to see how effective the study drug is compared to standard of care (SOC) therapy. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: - What side effects may happen from taking the study drug versus SOC - How much study drug is in your blood at different times - Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects) - Comparing the impact from the study drug versus SOC on your quality-of-life and ability to complete routine daily activities
This is a Phase Ib study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous T cells engineered with a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) targeting CD19 in pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B ALL) and relapsed or refractory B cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B NHL)
The goal of this experimental medicine clinical trial is to test the hypothesis that nitrous oxide inhalation will result in a change in neurocircuit function in healthy controls and in individuals with impulsive aggressive tendencies. The main question aims to answer are: Does Nitrous Oxide normalize brain circuit function in impulsively aggressive individuals 24 hours after inhalation. Participants will undergo a 60 minute inhalation session with 50% Nitrous Oxide (or room air at another session) and then undergo an fMRI scan 24 hours later. Researchers will compare healthy controls and impulsively aggressive individuals to see if Nitrous Oxide can normalize the function of cortico-limbic circuits in the latter group.
The main goal of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effectiveness of VR-TRAC (Virtual Reality TRaining for Aggression Control) for reducing aggression in a prison-based population. The study-design is a single-blind randomized controlled trial, comparing VR-TRAC to waiting-list control condition (WL). 128 male detainees with aggression regulation problems in the last month (measured with the Aggression Questionnaire [AQ]) and a minimum age of 18 years, recruited from the Penitentiary Institution (P.I.) Vught, the Netherlands will participate in this study. They are randomly allocated to VR-TRAC or control condition WL. The treatment group fills in questionnaires, participates in role-plays and follows the VR-TRAC. The control group filles in the same questionnaires as the treatment group and also participates in the role-plays, but does not participate in the VR-TRAC. Participants receive Care As Usual (CAU) when necessary. To measure the effect of VR-TRAC on aggression, three different types of measurements are used: staff observation, self-report and performance-based. Self-report questionnaires will be scored on three different moments during the study: before the treatment starts, at the end of the treatment, and two- months after the treatment ended. Throughout the sessions, participants are also asked to answer questions to evaluate the sessions. Lastly, to measure the effectiveness of the skills trained in the VR-TRAC, performance-based assessments (role-play tests and vignettes) will be conducted before and after the treatment period.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and mediators of Forensic Outpatient Systemic Therapy (FAST).
The purpose of this registry study is to create a database-a collection of information-for better understanding T-cell lymphoma. Researchers will use the information from this database to learn more about how to improve outcomes for people with T-cell lymphoma.
Despite decades of mounting single-case-design evidence for the efficacy of applied behavior analysis (ABA) and other approaches for the assessment and treatment of challenging behavior, an evidence-based comprehensive approach remains to exist. The current study will collect test the efficacy of a standardized manual for assessing and treating challenging behavior for individuals with severe and mild challenging behavior.
Although highly effective, treatments like FCT include extinction, which can have adverse side effects. The extinction burst, an increase in the frequency or intensity of destructive behavior at the start of treatment, is the most common side effect of extinction, and can increase the risk of harm to the patient and others. The goal of the current study is to evaluate the prevalence of extinction bursts when various parameters of reinforcement (i.e., rate, magnitude, quality) are manipulated.
