Filter by:Patients undergoing either thyroid or prostate biopsy under local anesthetic will be asked to fill out a questionnaire that evaluates their anxiety level before and after a thyroid or prostate biopsy procedure that they undergo. Patients will be randomly assigned to either use an anxiety reducing tool (stress balls in each hand) to take their mind off the procedure or will not receive an anxiety reducing tool.
This study aims to explore various psychosocial aspects and the potential benefits of respiratory techniques for physical therapy students.
Women who will undergo vaginal examinations randomly assigned to intervention (n = 44) and control (n = 44) groups at a public hospital in Turkey will participate in the study. Stress ball application before vaginal examination will be explained to women in the intervention group. These women will be asked to tighten and loosen the stress ball given to them during the vaginal examination and continue this process until the examination is completed. Data regarding pain and anxiety outcomes will be collected before and after the examination. The main questions it aims to answer are: - question 1: What is the effect of stress ball application on women's anxiety level during vaginal examination? - question 2: What is the effect of stress ball application on women's pain level during vaginal examination?
The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the flexibility of threat control and underlying neural mechanism based on the threat reversal paradigm (a highly validated new paradigm where threat learning and inhibition are required) in patients with anxiety disorders (mainly generalized anxiety disorder). The hypotheses are: 1. Threat reversal abilities are hypothesized to be impaired in patients with anxiety disorders compared to healthy normal subjects, which are assumed to be associated with anxiety symptoms. 2. The neural mechanism underlying threat reversal abnormalities in patients with anxiety disorders is hypothesized to involve the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and hippocampus. 3. The repetitive stimulation to the core brain regions of threat reversal is assumed to improve threat reversal abilities and anxiety symptoms of patients.
This study aims to examine the effect of olfactory mental imagery on physiological parameters, anxiety and symptoms after cardiovascular surgery. This study was planned to be conducted as a prospective randomized controlled study in the Cardiovascular Surgery service of Istanbul Mehmet Akif Ersoy Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Training and Research Hospital. The universe of the research; It will consist of patients who are hospitalized in the cardiovascular surgery service and who have undergone cardiovascular surgery. The sample will consist of a total of 90 patients hospitalized in the Cardiovascular Surgery service of the same hospital and meeting the inclusion criteria for the study. Patient Diagnosis Form, Physiological Parameters Monitoring Form, State Anxiety Inventory and Cardiac Surgery Symptom Inventory will be used to collect data. Data will be collected on days 1, 2, 3 and 4 after surgery. In the study, patients will be divided into two groups: intervention (n = 45) and control (n = 45). The intervention group will perform breathing exercises with the olfactory mental imagery technique.
Purpose and Type of Research:This study will be conducted to examine the effect of virtual reality glasses on surgical fear and anxiety in patients scheduled for cardiovascular surgery. The study is a randomized controlled experimental research. Method:The population of the research was approximately 2900 patients who underwent cardiovascular surgery in a year at Dr. Siyami Ersek Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Education Research Hospital. The sample size of the study was calculated using the G*Power software program.The study will be completed with 60 people by taking 30 people into the experimental and control groups.Data will be collected with a personal information form, surgical fear scale and state anxiety scale. Hypothesis of the Research: H1: Application of virtual reality glasses reduces surgical fear in patients planned for cardiovascular surgery. H2: Application of virtual reality glasses reduces anxiety in patients scheduled for cardiovascular surgery.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare a novel sound healing approach, biofield tuning, to a waitlist control group in a healthy adult population naive to the intervention. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is there a significant reduction in state and trait anxiety as measured by the State-Trait Anxiety Index (STAI) with biofield tuning compared to waitlist control? - Are there significant reductions in negative affect, as well as increases in self-compassion, positive affect, and interoceptive awareness in the intervention group? - What are the relationships between changes in anxiety symptoms, negative affect words, and microbiome changes in participants who have undergone this biofield intervention? Participants will be: - Randomized to intervention/control - Recieve 5 sound healing interventions weekly - Asked to complete surveys and audio prompts throughout the intervention - Asked to provide a microbiome sample pre- and post-intervention
Chronic anxiety is a growing psychological challenge worldwide and at pre-clinical levels, can be disabling. Some research suggests music may reduce anxiety symptoms as effectively as anti-anxiety drugs without the adverse side effects. The iso principle suggests that the effectiveness of music interventions for mood management can be maximized by commencing a session with music that matches an individual's current emotional state and then gradually moving toward their desired emotional state. Our previous work demonstrated that a playlist generated by a music recommendation system that uses the iso-principal, along with music informatics, auditory beat stimulation, and reinforcement learning can reduce somatic and cognitive anxiety. However, it is unknown whether music playlists based on the iso-principal alone can reduce anxiety. In this study, the investigators wish to examine whether music playlists (~30 min long) based on the iso-principal (neutral to calm) will reduce anxiety after anxiety induction compared to a calm music playlist. The investigators hypothesize that the iso-principal playlist will have greater state anxiety reduction compared to the calm playlist.
Anxiety is a growing problem and has been steadily increasing, particularly in the adolescent and young adult populations in the past 24 years. Music and auditory beat stimulation (ABS) in the theta frequency range (4-7 Hz) are sound-based anxiety treatments that have been investigated in prior studies with subjective measures of anxiety. Here, the anxiety-reducing potential of calm music combined with theta ABS will be examined in a large sample of participants with objective psychophysiological measures (heart rate variability and EEG), stress hormone measures (salivary cortisol) along with subjective measures (STICSA state). Participants with moderate trait anxiety (n = 100) will be randomly assigned to a single 24-minute session of sound-based treatment: combined (music & ABS), or pink noise (control). Pre- and post-intervention heart rate variability and EEG band power (alpha, beta, delta, and theta bands), along with somatic and cognitive state anxiety measures (STICSA State) will be collected along with trait anxiety (STICSA Trait), and musical preferences (Short Test of Music Preferences). Our hypothesis is that the music & ABS condition will have significantly higher EEG theta band activity and heart rate variability compared to the pink noise control condition. The investigators also expect to see significantly reduces higher state anxiety reduction in the music & ABS condition compared to the pink noise control condition. Participants with moderate trait anxiety (n = 100) will be randomly assigned to a single 24-minute session of sound-based treatment: combined (music & ABS), or pink noise (control). Pre- and post-intervention heart rate variability and EEG band power (alpha, beta, delta, and theta bands), along with somatic and cognitive state anxiety measures (STICSA State) will be collected along with trait anxiety (STICSA Trait), and musical preferences (Short Test of Music Preferences). The investigators predict that the music & ABS condition will have significantly increased power in the theta and alpha bands, higher heart rate variability, higher state anxiety reduction, and lower salivary cortisol levels compared to the pink noise control condition.
This is a prospective, randomised study investigating the physical and psychological experience of intermittent catheterization in adult individuals following spinal cord injury (SCI).
