This virtual, open-label, three-group, randomized-controlled trial will last six weeks. Participants will be allocated into three groups; the Intervention Group, Spotify Group, and Control Group. All participants will complete a baseline questionnaire before completing their designated regime daily for six weeks. In addition, participants will complete study-specific surveys and validated questionnaires at the end of each week (Week 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6). The study will include 75 [participants in total, 25 per group, who all have self-reported concerns around anxiety, stress, or depression. Questionnaires will be used to monitor sleep, cognitive ability, and changes in symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Both study-specific questionnaires and validated questionnaires will be utilized, including the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Assessment (GAD-7), the 9-question Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and The World Health Organisation- Five Well-Being Index (WHO-5). Likert scale responses will be examined from baseline to each check-in. Participant responses on product feedback will be presented as % scores.
To understand the potential effectiveness of a 4 week Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy intervention delivered using a smartphone application for reducing anxiety and stress within college students.
Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART) procedures are often long and particularly stressful for couples. The level of anxiety appears to persist throughout the entire process, particularly during embryo transfer, a pivotal and delicate stage in In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Many women apprehend this maneuver, firstly, as it represents the culmination of the process and consequently elicits apprehensions regarding negative outcome, and secondly, as it instigates anxiety related to potential discomfort during the procedure. Medical Hypnosis in Virtual Reality is a combination of hypnotherapy and immersion in a fictitious world, used in the medical field for anxiolytic and analgesic purposes. This fusion is made possible by a virtual reality headset coupled with an auditory device. The diversion and relaxation conferred by this device can lead to a reduction in perceived anxiety and an indirect enhancement of compliance and cooperation during medical procedure. Several studies have already demonstrated a benefit on pre-operative and peri-operative anxiety, with reassuring safety data on the use of this medical device. However, despite the common use of VRH in the medical field, encouraging data on anxiety reduction, and accessibility to these headsets within in certain ART departments, they are not routinely employed during embryo transfers. Various barriers to the implementation of this medical device in this indication seem to be present, encompassing organizational, technical, and practical aspects. Consequently, the Hypno-TEC study aims to assess the feasibility of using virtual reality hypnosis (VRH) headset for anxiolytic purposes during frozen embryo transfer (FET). Hypno-TEC will be a prospective interventional study, not comparative, and conducted at a single center, within the Reproductive Medicine Department of the Mother-Child-Woman Hospital in Lyon. This clinical investigation will fall under category 4.2 of medical device regulations, according to European Regulation 2017/745. The enrolled patients, estimated to be 50 in number, will benefit from the device (VRH headset) during the execution of the FET procedure. Besides assessing the feasibility of this usage, secondary outcomes will include: (i) evaluating the procedure's acceptability, (ii) patient and caregiver satisfaction with this application, (iii) effect on patient anxiety, and (iv) the pregnancy rates following the transfers concerned by the study. The expected benefit is the potential to incorporate these headsets into routine practice, thereby would be enhancing patient adherence and tolerance to the transfer procedure.
The study's objective is to evaluate the efficacy of implemented Virtual Reality therapy for patients who have undergone lower limb arthroplasty and are in inpatient rehabilitation. The study aim to examine its influence on reducing anxiety levels, mitigating depressive symptoms, enhancing motivation for elderly patients to participate in physiotherapy, and improving their overall functional state and fall risk.
Thymus vulgaris could potentially serve as a safer alternative to stimulant drugs for enhancing memory among university students. Furthermore, Thymus vulgaris may offer additional benefits in terms of reducing anxiety, depression, and improving sleep quality. However, it should be noted that the current research on the effects of orally administered Thymus vulgaris on the brain and nervous system is limited, and further studies are required to fully explore its potential advantages. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of oral Thymus vulgaris on memory performance, anxiety, depression, and sleep quality in university students.
Dexmedetomidine is a drug known for its pain-relieving and restlessness-reducing effects. The purpose of this run is to use the association between this use during surgery and the attrition of post-operative pain and discomfort. In the research, laboratory and monitoring results will be obtained before, during and after the operation. Postoperative patient complaints will be evaluated at the postoperative service visit. This study is decided on a completely voluntary basis.
The study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental research to examine the effect of nature sounds and music on vital signs and anxiety levels of hemodialysis patients. The study was conducted between September 6, 2019 and March 21, 2020 with 75 patients who received treatment in the hemodialysis units of three hospitals, one university, one education research and one state hospital in Antalya province, met the inclusion criteria and consented to participate in the study. Patients were homogenously divided into intervention (nature sound group n=25 and music group n=25) and control (n=25) groups on the basis of age, gender and hemodialysis duration. Patients in the intervention group were subjected to nature sounds/music during the hemodialysis procedure, while patients in the control group were not subjected to any intervention during the procedure. The data were collected by face-to-face interview technique using the "Descriptive Characteristics Form", "Vital Signs Monitoring Form", "State Anxiety Inventory" and "Trait Anxiety Inventory". Ethics committee approval, institutional permissions and written consent of the patients were obtained for the implementation of the study. Number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum, the the Shapiro Wilk normality test, One-Way Analysis of Variance, Chi-Square tests, the Kruskal Wallis test, Dunn-Bonferroni test, Tukey HSD, Three-Way Analysis of Variance and Bonferroni Corrected Two Ratio Z test were employed in the evaluation of the data.
This is a clinical study that aims to determine the effective dose of music listening duration that is required to reduce anxiety in patients awaiting scheduled cesarean section. It will also compare types of music to accomplish this goal, both of which have been shown effective in prior studies. Methods will involve enrolling and playing music for patients awaiting scheduled C-section, and scoring their anxiety with pre- and post-music questionnaires. Music duration for each subject will be predetermined, and analysis of response will be performed to determine the effective dose 95%, or dose at which 95% of subjects should have a positive response.
Fear of the dentist is a very common phenomenon which delays consultations and brings negative consequences on oral and general health. Virtual reality (VR) reduces children's pain and anxiety during dental care or oral surgery. The aim of this prospective, randomized and controlled study is to show the effectiveness of virtual reality to reduce anxiety in a sample of adults during tooth avulsions under local anesthesia. There is a group with virtual reality and a control group without virtual reality. Patients complet the State Trait Anxiety Inventory - State - (STAI-YA) questionnaire and the visual analog anxiety scale (VAS) just before and just after the surgery by transcribing the anxiety they feel during it. The main judgement criterion is the evolution of the STAI-YA score before vs during the surgery. Secondary criteria are the relevance of the chosen metric by comparing it to the VAS, defining the factors influencing the evolution of the anxiety score, studying the side effects of VR and the wish to repeat the experience.
