Filter by:The main objective of this project will be to verify if the insertion of diaphragmatic, cardiorespiratory and strength breathing exercises and cooperative sports activities in Physical Education classes, during a period of 12 weeks, may be able to modify the scores of symptoms of anxiety and depression in adolescent students. As secondary objectives, this project will seek to verify which of the interventions will provide the greatest reductions in students' anxiety and depression symptoms, as well as analyze their effects on other health indicators, also verifying if a greater volume of sessions can provide additional benefits to mental health. when compared to a smaller volume. This is an experimental study, of the randomized clinical trial (RCT) type. The target population will be adolescent students (14 to 19 years old) from the Federal Institute Sul-rio-grandense (IFSul) on the Bagé and Pelotas campuses. A total of 16 classes will compose the sample. The classes that have the Physical Education (PE) curriculum component in their schedule will be listed and randomized in relation to the comparator group (CG) and to the three different intervention protocols: diaphragmatic breathing exercises (intervention group 1 or GI-1), physical exercises cardiorespiratory and strength activities (intervention group 2 or GI-2) and cooperative sports activities (intervention group 3 or GI-3). The application of these interventions will occur during PE classes, twice a week at Campus Bagé and three times a week at Campus Pelotas. Interventions will last 15 minutes in groups GI-1 and GI-2, and 20 minutes in GI-3. Before the start of the intervention, baseline assessments will be carried out, consisting of primary outcomes (symptoms of anxiety and depression) and secondary outcomes (self-concept, quality of life, sleep indicators, self-perception of physical fitness, cognitive failures, strength and cardiorespiratory fitness). The groups will be compared regarding the characteristics collected at baseline and after the 12th week of intervention. The Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) and the post-hoc Bonferroni test will be used to compare the moments (pre and post-intervention) between the groups and to identify the group*moment interaction. Analyzes will be performed by protocol and by intention to treat. The significance coefficient adopted will be p<0.05.
Despite current anxiety and pain management during oocyte retrieval in IVF/ICSI treatment by conscious sedation, oocyte retrieval often remains painful and stressful for patients. An average pain score of 6.0 (expressed using VAS) and stress score of 41.63 (using STAI-S) were reported by previous researches. Previous research showed there might be a negative correlation between anxiety experienced in IVF/ICSI treatment, and ongoing pregnancy rate. Other researches nuance this. In addition, conscious sedation can give a variety of side effects such as apnea and respiratory depression. The appliance of Virtual Reality is increasingly researched, in a variety of procedures. Previous researches showed that Virtual Reality was effective in the reduction of anxiety and pain experienced, also in the field of Gynaecology and Obstetrics. We hypothesized that Virtual Reality can aid in the reduction of anxiety and pain experienced during oocyte retrieval in IVF/ICSI treatment. We also aim to find a definitive answer on the question whether anxiety during IVF/ICSI treatment can negatively influence ongoing pregnancy rates.

Chronic urticaria is a condition that impairs the patient's quality of life, interferes with routine daily activities, and is often associated with anxiety. It constitutes a significant burden associated with psychiatric comorbidities such as Fundamentals of Positive Psychotherapy (PPT) The aim is to help the individual to develop his/her core capacities and in his/her daily life in four areas of life (body, success, relationships and the future) to help them achieve balance. In patients with chronic urticaria, especially problems with the body occur and this can affect other areas of life. Literature When examined, it is seen that psychological interventions in chronic urticaria are very few and in ancient times. In addition, it is recommended that psychological interventions based on conversation should be performed with these patients. PPT, conversational and balancing the dimensions of "body, achievement, relationships and future" It is a working approach. Body and future in the disease process of chronic urticaria patients Considering that there is a balance change in the dimensions of the PPT, it will contribute to the literature. is considered. Intervention Group Positive psychotherapy counseling sessions, specialist psychiatry who completed positive psychotherapy training will be done by the nurse. Contact information of the volunteers will be obtained at the outpatient clinic and individuals will be randomized. will be divided into intervention and control groups. The first one face-to-face with each individual in the intervention group. A total of 8 sessions will be held, the others being online.

Anxiety during pregnancy and the postpartum (perinatal) period is very common and is associated with adverse consequences for mothers and their infants. Currently, medication is the most commonly prescribed treatment for perinatal anxiety and the lack of nonmedication-based interventions for perinatal anxiety is a barrier to receiving effective treatment for many women. As such, the present single-blind, randomized controlled trial seeks to evaluate whether group-based cognitive behavioural therapy, the gold-standard psychological treatment for anxiety disorders in the general population, effectively treats perinatal anxiety symptoms when compared to a psychoeducation group, which is currently the most commonly prescribed non-medication-based treatment for perinatal distress.
This study is planned to investigate the effectiveness of EMG, RESP, and TEMP Biofeedback Training to reduce symptoms of anxiety among the nursing students from one school, and to determine whether biofeedback training is associated to relax the minds and bodies of the anxious nursing students to cope with the distressing situation. Study subjects meeting the eligibility criteria will be randomized into two groups using randomly generated numbers: the Biofeedback training group and Control group. Biofeedback training will be used as an intervention vs the control. All the study subjects providing the consent to participate will be made to complete the study questionnaires (Demographic, Screening for Anxiety using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory -STAI) at baseline and at post-intervention (after 4 weeks).
Head and neck cancers are a source of complications and after-effects related to the disease and treatment. These cancers and their treatment alter the quality of life of patients and generate pain with physical and psychological components. Chronic pain affects 36% of patients at 6 months and 30% after this period. These pains are responsible for the consumption of level II and III analgesics in 53% of these patients. At the same time, after the end of treatment, nearly a quarter of patients continued to smoke and half still consumed alcohol at least twice a week. The hypothesis of this research is to investigate the correlation between pain and the continuation of addictions, the occurrence of depressive states, asthenia and the alteration of the patients' global quality of life. The investigators propose a two-center prospective cohort study to evaluate this hypothesis at 6 months after radiotherapy treatment. This study is planned to include 120 patients with a first head and neck cancer whit radiotherapy as part of their treatment sequence. The expected duration of inclusion is 18 months. The identification of factors affecting survival, quality of life and patient compliance is essential to determine appropriate management, particularly by creating appropriate therapeutic education programs.
This study aims to determine if removing supracondylar pins immediately following cast removal and prior to X-ray decreases patient and parent/guardian anxiety compared to pin removal following cast removal and X-ray. The research team hypothesizes that patient anxiety response will be lower when pins are removed immediately following cast removal compared to our current standard of care. Secondarily, this study will determine if there is an association between patient anxiety response and their parent's/guardian's anxiety.
Patients with dental anxiety only develop anxiety and fear about dental treatments. Patients with severe dental anxiety have difficulty cooperating with dental treatments, and can only complete dental treatments through general anesthesia, or even abandon treatments. Dexmedetomidine is a potent, highly selective α2-adrenoceptor agonist, which provides good anxiolytic, sedative and analgesic effects and is commonly used in anesthesiology and intensive care medicine departments, routinely intravenously. In recent years, intranasal administration of dexmedetomidine has also been reported for pediatric dentistry and adult alveolar surgery, showing good sedative and analgesic effects. However, these studies have problems such as single surgical types, small sample size, and few indicators analyzed. Therefore, the evaluation of intranasal administration of dexmedetomidine is still not comprehensive enough. Besides, the anxiolytic effect of dexmedetomidine for dental anxiety has not been reported yet. This project plans to carry out a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, two-stage clinical trial. We will firstly explore a reasonable dose, and secondly verify it with placebo as the control. We plan to measure the object indicators, including the NTI value, plasma cortisol, interleukin-6, blood pressure and heart rate, and to assess the subjective indicators using scales and questionnaires, thus comprehensively evaluating the effectiveness, safety and feasibility of the anxiolytic effect of intranasal dexmedetomidine for severe dental anxious patients, and preliminary exploring its mechanism additionally. We intend to help severe dental anxious patients completing dental treatments.
