Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of a brain stimulation technique known as transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS, on the benefits of Prolonged Exposure therapy, or PE, which is an effective treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. tDCS has been demonstrated to be safe and effective for influencing brain activity by passing a weak electrical current through the scalp. In this study, tDCS is provided in addition to PE treatment, through the National Crime Victim's Research and Treatment Center at MUSC, or the PTSD Clinical Team Clinic within the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center.
This pilot trial seeks to investigate the effect of 25 mg full-spectrum CBD soft gel capsules (up to a total dosage of 100mg per day) on individuals with diagnosed anxiety. All participants will take CBD soft gel capsules for 12 weeks, and will be assessed at 6 weeks and 12 weeks post-enrollment using measures of anxiety, sleep and perception of change.
The objective of the LEGO®Bricks MRI project is to study a new play-based tool for use in children preparing to undergo MRI and evaluate its ability to reduce the need for anesthesia. A randomized study design will be employed in the experimental "Child Life" (CL) group, in regard to which Child Life intervention patients will have. Age matched controls will be found retrospectively, and will be patients of the same age, undergoing their first non-contrast brain MRI with no Child Life intervention. Patients in the CL group will be prepped by a Certified Child Life Specialist with the use of one of the following 2 tools, to be randomly selected: 1. LEGO Bricks model MRI (A model of the MRI machine and adjacent control room made out of LEGO bricks) 2. Mock MRI tube (A six foot long pop-out play tunnel for children, with a diameter of around 17 inches to simulate the MRI magnet bore)
Being a family caregiver for a patient at the end of life is both rewarding and stressful. When the end of life is nearing, caregivers may be unsure of how to help their family member. Reiki, a light touch energy therapy has been shown to increase relaxation and improve sleep quality, and decrease pain, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and medication use in both hospitalized and community-dwelling adults. This feasibility study is designed to evaluate whether teaching caregivers is feasible in addition to evaluating any benefit to FCGs and patients.
In France, home hospitalization services (HAD) are developing as an alternative to conventional hospitalization. In order to intervene at patients' home, a reason for referral must be defined. The most common one on the national territory is "complex dressing". Cares associated with these dressings can lead to symptoms such as pain and/or anxiety, and thus decrease the patient's quality of life. These two symptoms may be related, with the presence of one increasing the intensity of the other. Thus, drug treatments are often implemented as part of care, but may not be sufficient to relieve patients. Music has many interests in patients' pain and anxiety. MUSIC CARE© application allows the implementation of standardized musical interventions. It has been shown to be effective in reducing acute and chronic pain and anxiety in many clinical settings. The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of implementing MUSIC CARE© in the care of complex dressings at home and to confirm its effectiveness on the symptoms experienced by patients. In addition, attention will be paid to the impact of this standardized musical intervention on care time, medication use during care and patients' and caregivers' satisfaction.
The overall aim of this project is to understand if single-session interventions are acceptable, culturally appropriate, and effective for Indian adolescents attending a rural, low-resource government school. The investigators will be examining the effects of a computerized intervention on the well-being and mental health of adolescents. The investigators hypothesize that the intervention will yield statistically significant improvements in wellbeing and mental health relative to a study skills control condition.
This study is evaluating a group-based therapeutic yoga program for burnout. This study aims to understand the feasibility of running the program (i.e. of recruiting participants, the resources required to run the program, etc) and the effectiveness of the program (i.e. in decreasing participants' mental health symptoms).
The purpose of this study is to determine how a 28 Day Challenge influences mental health and well-being. This is a blinded study. Participants both with and without depression and anxiety, will be included. A moderation analysis will be performed to see whether changes in depression after the intervention are a function of baseline depression and anxiety levels.
Different non-pharmacological techniques, including hypnosis and virtual reality are currently used as complementary tools in the treatment of pain related to burn injury. A new technique called 'virtual reality hypnosis' (VRH) (Patterson et al., 2004), which encompasses a combination of both tools, is regularly used although its actual function remains unknown to this date. With the goal to improve our understanding of VRH combination effects, it is necessary to elaborate randomized and controlled research studies in order to understand their actual function in individual's perception. 100 patients who are treated as outpatients for burn care will be randomly assigned to virtual reality or VRH. Patients will receive one session of one of these techniques during burn dressing change.Physiological parameters will be recorded during dressing change. Participants will fill in a questionnaire evaluating their tendency to be absorbed and dissociated, and another evaluating their level of perceived immersion. Their level of anxiety, pain, fatigue and relaxation will be evaluated before and after the session. A short interview will also be conducted to give participants the opportunity to openly describe their experience.
Students are one of the most at-risk groups for mental illness and suicide. Up to 40% of persons with serious mental illnesses do not receive care or stop intervention programs due to negative stigma. Focusing on students, only 30% of universities provide mental health counseling as part of universities' student health services. There is an urgent need to better understand and manage the mental health burden among students. The investigators will use a mental health-focused application that utilizes artificial intelligence to identify symptoms and provides targeted, tailored in-person therapy solutions for its users. Once a patient is matched with a therapist, the application provides solutions to supplement ongoing in-person psychotherapy. This includes journaling and daily assessments that provide curated content and feedback. The current feasibility study aims to recruit 45 Johns Hopkins graduate students with at least mild depressive and/or anxiety symptoms who will be consented and enrolled in a five-week study. There are two study arms: (1) the intervention arm and (2) a waitlist control arm. During the course of the study, the participants in the intervention arm will use the application daily. Participants will receive weekly in-person psychotherapy for a total of four sessions over four weeks. Licensed therapists will provide the in-person psychotherapy. The participants in the waitlist arm will serve as controls unless there is attrition from the intervention group at which time waitlist participants will be offered a spot in the intervention arm. The primary objectives of the study are (1) To assess the usability of the application and (2) To evaluate the short-term impact on mood and anxiety of using the application to augment in-person psychotherapy.
