Filter by:"Braining" is a clinical method for physical exercise as adjunctive therapy in psychiatric care. The core components are personnel-led group training sessions and motivating contact with psychiatric staff, as well as measurement and evaluation before and after the training period of 12 weeks. Objective. This study aims to describe the clinical and demographic variables in the population of patients who participated in Braining 2017-2020, investigate the feasibility of Braining, and analyse perceived short-term effects and side effects of Braining regarding psychiatric and somatic symptoms. Method. The project is a retrospective, descriptive study. Patients at Psykiatri Sydväst (PSV, Psychiatric Clinic Psychiatry Southwest, Stockholm) who participated in Braining 2017-2020 during at least 3 training sessions, will be asked for inclusion. Medical and demographic data, as well as patient treatment evaluations, are already available in medical records. Additionally, an extended 2-year long-term follow-up will be carried out. This includes blood and hair sample, physical examination as well as qualitative interviews with a representative subgroup.
Electroencephalography (EEG) has been proposed as a neurophysiological biomarker to delineate psychotic disorders. Meanwhile, the increased appetite, which might related to self-control process, has been an increasing concern for the management of psychotic disorders. In this cross-section study, investigators collect the resting state EEG data, self-control related scale, eating behaviour questionnaire and psychotic syndrome related assessement and try to find the connection between those measurers, in order to provide novel understanding on the mechanism of psychotic diseases.
The aim of the AKTIBIPO VALIDATION study is to evaluate the effect of the Mindpax monitoring and microeducation system in patients with bipolar disorder (BD). Up to 130 participants (BD patients) who participated previously in the observational AKTIBIPO study, as well as new patients (DeNovo) will be enrolled for a follow-up period of 12 months. All participants will wear the wrist actigraphy device and use the Mindpax mobile application on their mobile phone. Through the application, the patients will fill in the weekly mood self assessment questionnaire (ASERT) and receive evidence-based health microeducations aimed at understanding the bipolar disorder and associated risk factors. Apart from general psychoeducation, the participants will receive additional individualized targeted health microeducation when the system detects deviation from individual patterns of mood, activity and sleep. The outcomes will evaluate the subjective and objective impact of system usage on self-reported and clinical outcomes.
To investigate the safety for an observation period of 52 weeks with use of Abilify prolonged release aqueous suspension for intramuscular (IM) injection in patients with bipolar I disorder for prevention of recurrence/relapse of mood episodes in the routine clinical setting. The early stage safety after the switching from oral aripiprazole to this IM injection is investigated including extrapyramidal syndrome and malignant syndrome. Information regarding efficacy is collected as well.
The Management of my Bipolarity study aims to develop an educational intervention (MoB EI) on the combined use of technology and face to face education on the empowerment of ill health self-management skills in adults with bipolar disorder. The MoB EI will be developed according to qualitative data on patients' educational needs and relevant literature. The effectiveness of acquired knowledge and self-management skills will be assessed according to the degree of a) cognitive functioning, b) impulse control, c) adherence to pharmacotherapy, d) relapse prevention, d) improvement of quality of life of participants.
Rising US suicide rates and the increased risk of suicide among persons who visit an emergency department (ED) for suicidality make the ED an important site for interventions to prevent suicide. There is no approved treatment for rapid relief of suicidal thoughts although clinical trials, including ours, show relief of suicidal thoughts within hours of treatment with inexpensive, generic, sub-anesthetic ketamine. We propose a clinical trial of intramuscular ketamine in depressed ED patients with high-risk suicidality, which if successful would support a novel, easy-to-use, scalable intervention for busy emergency clinicians to implement.
The main objective of this project is to identify behavioral specificities of the proactive emotional brain among bipolar patients, compared to healthy subjects. These could contribute to some of the emotional processing biases that can be observed in these patients. To achieve this goal, two behavioral tasks will be administer (emotional stroop and emotional stimuli categorization task) to bipolar patients and control subjects, and their performances will be compared.
The guiding question of this project is to evaluate the effectiveness of MCT as a form of ToM rehabilitation in patients diagnosed with BD who have deficits in this domain of social cognition. To do this, the work aims to be divided into three stages: (i) Evaluation of functionality through the FAST instrument (FAST score greater than or equal to 12 = mild impairment), to determine a subgroup of patients with deficits in functionality and evaluation scales for Montgomery & Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) and Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) to verify euthymia, (ii) once these inclusion aspects have been verified, a neuropsychological assessment of hot cognition variables will be carried out, (iii) finally, the sample will be randomly divided into two groups, where one group will receive structured MCT rehabilitation and the other will continue with standard pharmacological treatment (TAU).
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of 25 mg of psilocybin under supportive conditions to adult participants with BP-II, current episode depressed, in improving depressive symptoms.
Mood disorders are associated with significant financial and health costs for the United States, partially due to cognitive problems in these patients that can worsen disease course and impair treatment response. This study proposes to use smartphone-based technology to monitor cognitive problems in patients with mood disorders by linking brain network changes with predicted worsening of mood symptoms. The proposed study will provide evidence for using smartphone-based passive sensing as a cost-effective way to predict illness course and treatment response.
