Filter by:This study evaluates the use of an oral multi-strain probiotic in the treatment of anxiety in individuals with Parkinson's Disease. Participants will be randomized to either 12-week multi-strain probiotic treatment or placebo.
This early-stage trial aims to examine the feasibility, tolerability, and safety of Floatation-REST (Reduced Environmental Stimulation Therapy) or an active comparison condition in 75 participants with clinical anxiety and depression.
This study will assess the anxiety that patients are experiencing during a Mohs micrographic surgery. The study will compare the feelings of anxiety experienced by patients returning for Mohs surgery after already undergoing the surgery at least one time to feelings experienced by patients who have never had Mohs surgery before. The study will also compare the feelings experienced by patients who have read a vignette about the typical Mohs experience to the feelings of patients who have not read a vignette.
In the perioperative setting, distraction therapies have been used as a technique to reduce anxiety and pain in the perioperative period. Measures employed in the local restructured hospitals include television, magazines, and newspapers. Tablet-based activity, music and video distraction therapy have also been shown to be useful to reduce preoperative anxiety. The investigators propose a prospective study to implement and evaluate the use of Virtual Reality (VR) in decreasing in anxiety and pain undergoing gynaecological surgery. In the first phase of study, VR will be administered in 110 female adults undergoing day surgery, same-day-admission or in-patient gynecologic surgery in KKH. The VR will be administered using a Samsung Gear VR3 headset fitted with a smartphone. VR images and sound with calming effect will be delivered to the patients for a short duration of up to 25 minutes. This low-intensity activity offers soothing experience to distract the patients from any pain and anxiety. Second phase of study will randomize 110 female adults undergoing gynecologic surgery. Pain and psychological assessment will be conducted after recruitment, and the group assigned to VR group will navigate the VR environment before and after surgery.
The overall objective of the activities described in this protocol is to examine the efficacy of the Internet-based intervention in the reduction of dental anxiety in patients seeking dental treatment. This study has 2 primary objectives and 2 secondary objectives: Primary Objective 1-Therapy Aides: To compare the efficacy of the intervention as administered by personnel with training and experience in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to the efficacy of the intervention as administered by dental staff who have undergone a brief but specific training in the administration of the intervention. Primary Objective 2-Intervention Efficacy: To compare the efficacy of the intervention, administered by either type of therapy aide (CBT personnel or dental staff), to an active control condition. Secondary Objective 1-Tests of Moderators: To examine whether baseline levels of distress tolerance and pain sensitivity moderate the efficacy of the dental anxiety intervention, regardless of therapy aide, in comparison to an active control condition. Secondary Objective 2-Other Intervention Effects: To explore effects of the intervention beyond primary efficacy, including attendance at recall visits in the 12 months after the intervention; pain intensity; avoidance due to fear of dental procedures; and client satisfaction.
This is a prospective, randomized clinical trial to investigate the clinical impact of a preemptive pharmacogenomics strategy to guide antidepressant therapy in cancer patients. Those enrolled onto the clinical trial will be randomized to either DNA-guided choice of therapy or clinical management alone. Scores on self-reported measures of depressive and anxiety symptoms along with quality of life will be compared between cohorts.
The primary aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that use of VR combined with standard procedural education will result in less pre-procedural anxiety than standard procedural education alone among patients undergoing first-time cardiac catheterization. The VR technology being evaluated in this study will allow patients to experience a 3-D simulation of certain aspects of their upcoming procedure prior to the actual procedure date.
The emergency setting, frequently associated with pain and the feeling of loss of control, can cause anxiety in patients. Reaction anxiety may be an appropriate response to an emergency; Nevertheless, attention must be paid to the evaluation and management of the latter especially as anxiety and pain are closely linked.
This study aims to investigate whether a parent-based treatment for childhood anxiety disorders engages child brain circuitry implicated in children's reliance on parents to reduce anxiety (R61), and whether change in child brain circuitry is associated with reduction in child anxiety (R33).
This study aims to evaluate whether a convergence dialogue during sick leave, between the employee and the employer, with the Primary Care Centre Rehab Coordinator as discussion leader, leads to reduced sick leave time compared to those individuals who only have contact with a Care Manager during the period of sick leave. The study will be performed as a randomised controlled trial with randomisation at the PCC level where intervention PCCs offers a convergence dialogue meeting with the work place representative during sick leave in addition to Care Manager contact.
