Filter by:More than 1 million people in Europe suffer from Parkinson's disease (PD), a brain disorder manifesting with a motor syndrome and several non-motor features. Neuropsychiatric symptoms, like anxiety and depression, are common in patients with PD, and has profound effects on quality of life and activities of daily living of the patient, and caregiver burden. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has proven efficient for depressive symptoms, but treatment availability to the general patient with PD is low. Thus, there is an urgent need for individualized remote approaches that can be of benefit to patients on a national scale. This study is a remote, randomized delayed start trial of the effectiveness of videoconference based cognitive behavioral therapy (eCBT) for PD patients with depressive symptoms. N=120 participants with PD and depressive symptoms will be recruited from neurological clinics across four health regions in Norway and self-reference, and randomized into two arms: (A) immediate eCBT with concurrent with TAU and (B) a delayed start (14 weeks) of eCBT with TAU alone. Patients will be assessed at baseline before allocation to treatment, with followed up evaluations 14, 28 and 42 weeks after baseline. The trial is designed as a state-of-the-art remote clinical trial, that can be easily implemented existing health services, resulting in a rapid implementation and improvement of treatment for patients with PD, and potentially large translational value to other brain disorders.
With the virtual reality application in patients with bronchoscopy, it is aimed to reduce the fear, stress and tension arising from the possibility of the development of pain and complications in the patients. The research will be carried out in the form of pretest-posttest application with 30 experimental and 30 control groups. The researcher aims to minimize the fear and stress in the patient by applying the virtual reality application to the patient in the experimental group 10 minutes before the procedure and 5-10 minutes during the procedure.
Although anxiety is one of the most common and debilitating mental health conditions affecting children and adolescents, the vast majority of sufferers do not receive effective treatment. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based, frontline treatment for pediatric anxiety, yet many community-based practitioners do not implement CBT with high fidelity, which can detrimentally affect its clinical impact. The goal of this study is to develop and test an online platform to support community providers' effective use of CBT for pediatric anxiety.
This study will explore the functioning of a mobile transdiagnostic emotion regulation intervention designed for university students to optimize the uptake and the effectiveness of the intervention.
This research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study in order to reduce the anxiety felt and improve the quality of life by women in the climacteric period.
This Hybrid 1 Study will test the effectiveness of a bundled intervention comprised of behavioral activation and medication optimization in reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety in older adults undergoing cardiac surgery (compared with usual care), while examining implementation outcomes.
The effect of peer support and progressive relaxation exercise programs on midwifery students' sleep and anxiety levels in the COVID-19 pandemic was investigated in the present research. One hundred and four subjects were found eligible for the study according to the inclusion criteria, and they were grouped into three: the peer support program group (PSP) (n=34), the progressive relaxation exercise group (PRE) (n=35), and control group (n=35). The PRE group was given an online relaxation exercise program. The PSP group was given an online peer support program. The data collection tools included a descriptive data form, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I-II), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The scores of the groups that they obtained from the pre-test application of the STAI-I and PSQI did not yield a statistically significant difference. The scores that PRE and PSP groups obtained from the post-test application of the STAI-I and PSQI were lower than the score that was obtained by the control group on the post-test application of the measures, and difference was evaluated to be significant. Although the mechanisms of action of these two methods are different, it has been observed that they have similar effects in improving anxiety levels and sleep quality.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the impact of two strategies for coping with negative automatic thoughts (positive thinking and cognitive restructuring) on one's belief in negative thoughts and one's affect. Another main objective is to assess whether participating in a positive mood induction (versus no mood induction) prior to using one of the two coping strategies impacts belief in negative thoughts and affect. We will also explore the interaction between strategy condition and mood induction condition. As secondary outcomes, we will evaluate whether there are changes in positive thinking skills and cognitive restructuring skills and depressive symptoms after one week of using the strategy.
Preoperative anxiety and acute post-operative pain are common and have been associated with the development of chronic post-surgical pain and longer hospitalisation. Pharmacological interventions to combat anxiety and pain come with their attendant adverse effects. Therefore, non-pharmacological strategies- Virtual Reality (VR) has gained popularity to improve overall the perioperative experience for patients. Our overall aim is to develop and evaluate the use of a VR-based prototype to reduce pre-operative anxiety and post-operative acute pain intensity in our local patient population. Our primary aim is to reduce preoperative anxiety as measured by a reduction in Visual Analogue Score-Anxiety (VAS-A) by a mean of 2.5 points pre-post VR intervention. Our secondary aims are to reduce post-operative acute pain and to achieve more than 50% good to excellent self-reported satisfaction on our VR prototype.
US residents who have gastrointestinal issues sign the informed consent form and are screened and enrolled for this study. Participants who are enrolled complete a survey upon enrollment and are randomized into one of three arms. This study is direct to participant and will NOT utilize clinical sites.
