One Talk at a Time: A Racial-ethnic Socialization Intervention for Diverse Families

OTAAT
Start date: August 24, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study is a randomized effectiveness trial that tests the online delivery of a video-based intervention (One Talk at a Time (OTAAT)) relative to a control group over a one-year span. Hypotheses include: 1.) The OTAAT intervention will increase parental motivation to engage in racial-ethnic socialization (RES) conversations, their skills and confidence in having these conversations, and the frequency and quality of these conservations; 2.) The OTAAT intervention will increase youth reports of their coping with discrimination, perceived efficacy in coping with discrimination in the future, ethnic-racial identity, and youth mental and academic outcomes; 3.) Greater parental discrimination and youth discrimination will moderate links between OTAAT intervention and parental ethnic-racial motivation + competency as well as youth ethnic-racial identity, coping, and psychosocial outcomes.

NCT ID: NCT05296057 Completed - Epilepsy Clinical Trials

Pilot to Evaluate VR-Therapy on People With Epilepsy and Related Anxiety

AnxEpiVR
Start date: March 24, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Over 28% of people with epilepsy (PwE) struggle from at least one anxiety disorder, making anxiety the most common psychiatric comorbidity in this population. Despite the importance of treating anxiety in PwE, it has not received much research attention and is often unrecognized and untreated. Research has suggested that including exposure therapy (ET) as a part of an anxiety treatment may be helpful for decreasing anxiety in PwE. Research has also shown that Virtual Reality (VR) is an effective and helpful tool for delivering ET in a number of different types of anxiety disorders, such as posttraumatic stress disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety disorder. To the investigators' knowledge, no research has been conducted to-date on using VR to deliver ET (VR-ET) in PwE. People with epilepsy have commonly been excluded from VR studies due to the concern that it may trigger seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy. Although limited research is available on the use of VR in PwE, hesitations regarding the use of VR in this population have not been substantiated and clinicians and researchers are increasingly considering VR for use in this population. The use of an immersive VR head-mounted display to deliver ET in this population offers several benefits. For example, studies suggest that VR-ET is an especially useful method for customized treatment when it is not safe or practical to do exposures. This is important to consider as it may not be practical to do exposures in-person during times of pandemic, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Even outside of the pandemic, VR reduces the need for travel, which is difficult for PwE in normal circumstances as driver's licences are typically suspended after a confirmed seizure. Using VR for ET as opposed to traditional ET can also save money and time, and allow for more equitable access to healthcare resources for those who may not live in urban centers. The investigators designed and will be rigorously evaluating a VR-ET program administered in private residences specific for PwE that focuses on decreasing anxiety that is specifically related to their epilepsy or seizures. This study would be among the first to evaluate VR-ET in this population. This study will also contribute to the limited body of research that currently exists managing comorbid anxiety in PwE as well as the minimal existing literature about fears specifically related to epilepsy or seizures. The overall primary objective of this study is to report on the feasibility and appropriateness of the protocol and evaluation instruments for use in the subsequent larger clinical trial. The secondary objective is to evaluate whether VR-ET reduces epilepsy- or seizure-related anxiety in PwE. It is hypothesized that PwE will experience decreased levels of epilepsy-related anxiety after undergoing VR-ET. These findings will be used to inform a future randomized controlled trial.

NCT ID: NCT05252026 Completed - Depressive Symptoms Clinical Trials

Indicated Prevention Transdiagnostic Intervention for Adolescents At High Risk of Emotional Problems

PROCARE-I
Start date: September 1, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Emotional disorders (anxiety and/or depression) are severely undiagnosed and untreated despite being among the most common mental disorders, particularly at a young age. Half of all mental disorders begin by age 14; three-quarters by age 24, which makes adolescence a particularly crucial stage. In adolescence, prodromal signs of mental disorders and even full-blown clinical conditions often remain undetected, undiagnosed and untreated. However, there is an absence of evidence-based protocols to reach at high risk youth for developing emotional disorders. There is an urgent need for a paradigm shift by developing intervention protocols to early identify and treat vulnerable adolescents, thus preventing them from developing severe mental disorders later on in life. Mental health indicated prevention is key to helping at-high risk adolescents thrive before emotional disorder evolves. To cover this gap, PROCARE-I is conceptualized as a modularized indicated preventive programme for adolescents aged 12 to 18 years, adapting UP-A protocol with author's permission and supervision. Adolescents will be allocated to a 2-arm intervention trial, delivered as a group, as telehealth format as a result of Covid19 restrictions imposed by government. The PROCARE-I protocol aims to enhance protective factors that will eventually lead to lasting positive effects for adolescents. PROCARE-I will combine quantitative analysis, with special attention to vulnerable groups in a sex/gender disaggregated way. The PROCARE-I project is expected to have a far impact ultimately contributing to preventing and reducing the prevalence of emotional disorders in the young. The outcomes of PROCARE-I will contribute to identifying and treating vulnerable adolescents at high risk for emotional mental at an early stage, before they incur personal, societal and economic cost. PROCARE-I will be culturally-adapted and implemented as a multicenter Randomized-Controlled Trial (RCT). PROCARE-I will be designed to be an acceptable, scalable, and sustainable indicated prevention program.

NCT ID: NCT05130281 Completed - Clinical trials for Anxiety Disorders and Symptoms

Mobile Cognitive Behavior Therapy Targeting Anxiety Disorders

Start date: June 18, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aims to examine different ways of motivating people to make use of Maya, a mobile cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) program for adolescents and young adults experiencing anxiety symptoms, and to assess whether social supports are as efficacious, or more efficacious, than other non-monetary incentives. Subjects will use the Maya app for at least 20 minutes per day, 2 days per week, for 6 weeks. Assessments will include a weekly check in with a member of the research team, questionnaires, and an optional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) recording.

NCT ID: NCT05067998 Recruiting - Chronic Pain Clinical Trials

The Benefits of Natural Medicine, Vitamin IV Therapy and Supplements: Maintaining Good Health Through Nature

Start date: January 21, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Herbal Medicine is known as the medicinal use of herbal substances as a means of treating different conditions in the human body to ensure that the body remains in optimal health and wellness. These substances are known to contain very active ingredients in it and as such is also a very potent means of managing diseases and ailments in the body. Herbal medicine has always been a standby source of getting relief from various conditions over centuries, however, it can be categorically said that the mode of usage of these herbal substances has changed over time. Traditional healers help individuals to make meaning out of the natural herbs seen around that can be useful to one's health. Herbal medicine is the use of plants to treat disease and enhance general health and wellbeing. Herbs can interact with other pharmaceutical medications and should be taken with care. Always seek a regular medical doctor (GP) about any health concerns and tell them about any herbal medicines you are taking or thinking of taking. Never stop taking prescribed medications in favor of herbs without first discussing it with your GP.

NCT ID: NCT05061225 Not yet recruiting - PTSD Clinical Trials

The Efficacy of a Physical Activity Counselling Intervention on Mental Health in Firefighters

Start date: October 11, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Objectives: The aim of this project will be to evaluate the efficacy of a lifestyle PA counselling program for physically inactive first responders with at least mild symptoms of either anxiety, depression or stress and their chosen support partners compared to a waiting list, and to determine the mediating effect of autonomous motivation. Additionally, the randomised controlled trial will be complemented with qualitative interviews to provide a deeper context and understanding to the quantitative findings. To the best of our knowledge, no randomized controlled trial to date has examined the outcomes of an online physical activity counselling intervention using peer-support in firefighters. Methods: Within mixed methods randomized controlled trials, we will follow a sequential explanatory design. In this design, qualitative results complement and help interpret quantitative findings. In order to address the main aims, a randomized controlled trial will be executed. CONSORT statement will be followed for reporting findings. Protocol will be submitted to clinicaltrials.gov. For addressing the secondary aim of the study, the study will follow a qualitative design based on interpretative phenomenology. Phenomenology is a model used for describing, understanding, and interpreting the lived experiences of the participants by means of discourse analysis. For the quantitative component, two arms with 24 firefighters will be required. Additionally, chosen support partners will enter the intervention arm. Participants in the intervention arm will be invited to a private facebook page where the researcher will upload weekly educational posts regarding different aspects of physical activity. For the qualitative component, participants will be invited to 2-3 focus groups where the experiences of the participants on the program will be discussed.

NCT ID: NCT04945239 Active, not recruiting - Depression Clinical Trials

Amplification of Positivity to Enhance Social Connections in Anxiety and Depression

Start date: March 29, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The overall goal of this project is to develop a novel transdiagnostic behavioral treatment -- Amplification of Positivity (AMP) -- intended to enhance positive social connections in individuals with elevated anxiety and/or depression. Social relationship impairments are common and debilitating consequences of anxiety and depression. Existing treatments have some beneficial impact on social functioning; however, many people continue to have few and/or poor quality relationships following treatment, even after experiencing symptom relief. This study will evaluate the effects of AMP on the brain systems that have been shown to be important for establishing positive connections with others. Approximately 100 individuals (ages 18-55) seeking treatment for anxiety or depression will participate in this study. Participants will be randomly assigned with equal probability to either AMP or stress management training (SMT) (6 sessions each). Participants will be assessed at baseline and post-treatment and compared on measures assessing brain responses to social reward (primary outcome), as well as physiological, behavioral, and emotional responses to social reward (secondary outcomes). It is hypothesized that the AMP group will experience greater increases from pre- to post-treatment in activity in brain systems that regulate the processing of social reward cues (e.g., striatum) relative to participants in the SMT group. It is also hypothesized that changes in brain activation to social reward from pre- to post-treatment will be correlated with the degree of improvement in social connectedness.
