Filter by:This pilot will be used for academic research, in hopes of developing effective treatments for early childhood anxiety. The intervention is an adaptation of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). PCIT is an evidence-based intervention, rooted in attachment and social learning theory. In recent years, researchers have successfully adapted PCIT to address anxiety in a clinical setting (PCIT-CALM). In this pilot study, we will be applying the PCIT-CALM intervention in the school setting, emphasizing teachers as a therapeutic agent of change. PCIT is unique because the child's caregiver is trained on how to use therapeutic techniques, and then receives live coaching via a "bug in the ear" as they learn to implement the new skills. In this pilot study, both parents and teachers will be taught skills to create a therapeutic relationship and address anxiety. After these teaching sessions, the child's teacher will receive coaching in the classroom to implement the skills. The intervention will last approximately 12 weeks.
This is a pilot study of an online mental health treatment. The goals of the study are to determine the feasibility of an online treatment for depression and anxiety symptoms with little-to-no human support, in a sample of 50 adults with limited educational attainment. The treatment is based on the Unified Protocol, an evidence-based treatment for mood and anxiety symptoms. The study will enroll participants on a rolling basis until reaching the goal of 50 participants. The intervention lasts 16 weeks, with 12 weeks of online treatment focused on increasing mindfulness, decreasing avoidance, and increasing cognitive flexibility in order to decrease depression and anxiety symptoms. Participants will complete surveys about their symptoms and how they feel about the treatment to help us establish the feasibility of a larger trial.
The purpose of this study is to do a preliminary assessment of whether buspirone is effective, safe, and tolerable in the treatment of anxiety in children, adolescents, and adults with Williams syndrome.
The goal of this trial is to examine the effectiveness of a universal, self-guided, digital single-session intervention focusing on problem-solving skills in improving adolescent mental health and well-being, relative to an active control intervention focusing on study skills, within the context of school settings during the coronavirus disease pandemic.
In light of the coronavirus pandemic, the challenge of physician burnout has taken on a new urgency. Long-hours and difficult, sometimes unsafe work conditions are creating a severe strain for emergency physicians and others on the frontlines of Ontario's response to COVID-19. There are a variety of evidence-informed ways that physicians can protect their wellbeing with modest investments of time and energy that will be applied. The evaluation will be a randomized trial comparing the outcomes from each of the three treatment arms. Researchers may also use a pre-post comparison with control parameters to conduct an exploratory analysis to assess efficacy.
Fatigue is a common clinical finding in Primary Sjögren's syndrome (PSS). In PSS, there is not enough data about the conditions in which fatigue develops and which clinical conditions the disease is associated with. This study was aimed to determine the level of fatigue in Primary Sjögren syndrome and to investigate the factors affecting the level of fatigue.
Rationale: Anxiety is common in critically ill patients, and has likely become more prevalent in the recent decade due to the imperative of the recent PADIS guidelines to use low levels of sedation and strive for wakefulness. Administration of sedative and analgesic medication is often chosen to reduce anxiety, especially when associated with agitation, but especially sedatives are associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation, delirium and muscle wasting and are therefore preferably minimized. Previous studies have suggested positive effects of music interventions on anxiety in the critically ill, next to other physiological signs such as pain. However, management of anxiety has not been included in the PADIS guidelines, and there is lack of evidence to treat it in spite of its growing importance. Therefore, we aim to study the effect of music intervention on anxiety in adult critically ill patients. Objective: The primary objective is to assess the effect of music intervention on the level of anxiety. Study design: A randomized controlled trial. Study population: Adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit, with whom communication is possible (Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale of -2 or higher). Intervention (if applicable): The music group will be offered to listen to music two times per day for three days after inclusion, during 30-60 minutes per session. Chosen music will be based on the preference of the patient. The control group will receive standard of care during the entire study. Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary outcome is the effect of music on the Visual Analogue Scale for anxiety (VAS-A). Secondary outcomes include effect of music on sedation and agitation level, medication requirement, pain, sleep, delirium, heart rate, mean arterial pressure, and ICU memory and experience.
This project will adapt and pilot a feasible and effective problem-solving therapy designed for low-resource settings to address common mental disorders like depression and anxiety - the Friendship Bench- in a Vietnamese population of individuals living with HIV who also have opiate use disorder. The Friendship Bench approach has the potential to make an important contribution to address CMDs and reduce barriers to HIV treatment success among people living with HIV (PLWH) with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), a critical population driving the HIV epidemic in Vietnam and many Southeast Asian countries. This proposal will generate critical evidence for designing a fully powered clinical trial to test the investigation team's adapted FB protocol in improving HIV, mental health, and drug use treatment outcomes for this vulnerable population.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness of a telehealth Group Behavioral Activation Therapy (GBAT) for autistic adults.
The main objective of the present work is to establish a firm knowledge base regarding depression and anxiety as risk factors for dementia and how social relationships impact this association. This risk factors, and efforts to reduce them are described through a follow up over three decades.
