Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to learn about the role of repetitive negative thinking (measured by the RTQ) in adult populations from an anxiety disorders and trauma clinic. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Whether the repetitive negative thinking can be used to predict i. initial symptom severity, and ii. therapy outcome (measured by change in scores on disorder specific measures). - Whether change in RTQ mediates change in outcome Participants are sent weekly questionnaires that measure their progress. Within these questionnaires are the RTQ and other disorder-specific measures that we will be analysing. Researchers may also compare clients with different disorders to see the accuracy the RTQ can predict treatment outcomes for each disorder.
The goal of this multiple baseline case series study is to test the effect of imagery rescripting (ImRs) in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). Primary objective :The course of schema or core beliefs and change in OCD and BDD. To investigate the effectiveness of imagery rescripting on factors presumed to underlie the disorder, according to schema theory, and on OCD and BDD symptoms. Secondary objective: The change in OCD and BDD symptoms (full questionnaire), schemata and modes, core emotions, mood, affect and obtrusiveness of intrusion. Other objectives are research into the working mechanisms of imagery rescripting by collecting qualitative data from patients and their practitioner in a qualitative interview. For this study, a multiple-baseline single-case experimental design (SCED) is used testing different outcome variables in 18 OCD patients and 18 BDD patients. After a variable baseline period of 3-8 weeks participants will start twice weekly with imagery rescripting for 12 sessions, followed by a 6 week follow up. Participants will rate schema- or core beliefs and OCD or BDD severity on a visual analogue scale. In addition participants will rate core emotions, affect and obtrusiveness of the intrusion. Secondary we will asses four times questionnaires about OCD of BDD symptoms, depression and schemas en modes. After treatment participants will be interviewed about their experiences.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the clinical efficacy, the cost-effectiveness and the 6-month durability of a therapist-guided, Internet-delivered cognitive-behavior therapy programme for children and adolescents with body dysmorphic disorder.
Reduction nymphoplasty is the treatment of benign hyperplasia of the labia minora. This surgery is indicated in the event of functional, aesthetic or sexual discomfort. There has been a growing demand for this surgery over the past twenty years. It is necessary to remain vigilant because a request for cosmetic surgery can also be part of an obsession with body dysmorphism, former dysmorphophobia. Investigators wish to study the postoperative results concerning sexuality, self-esteem and obsession with body dysmorphia in a cohort of patients followed prospectively and at more than 3 years postoperatively.
The current study aims to explore the efficacy of a text message based safety behavior fadinig intervention compared to an unhealthy behavior fading intervention for appearance concerns.
The goal of this observational study is to test the effects of a type of noninvasive brain stimulation called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) on visual processing in adults with body dysmorphic disorder symptoms when combined with modifying visual attention. The main goals are to understand, in people with body dysmorphic disorder and people with subclinical body dysmorphic disorder: - The effects of intermittent and continuous TMS stimulation of parietal brain regions when done right before visual attention modulation on brain functional connections. - The effects of intermittent and continuous TMS stimulation of parietal brain regions when done right before visual attention modulation on global/holistic visual perception. Participants will receive one type of TMS (intermittent or continuous) followed immediately by an fMRI brain scan during which they will view images of their faces. On the second day, they will do the same, but receive either the intermittent or continuous TMS stimulation that they did not receive on the first day.
Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) affects 2.3% of the population and is characterized by excessive concerns with imagined or minor defects in physical appearance. Retrospective outcome studies suggest patients affected by BDD don't typically benefit from surgical treatments while cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) appears to provide symptom - reducing and distress - reducing benefits. Two different 8-week online CBT approaches to assisting individuals with this disorder are compared: one approach will integrate mindfulness meditation methods (in combination with CBT) and one approach will employ CBT methods without reference to mindfulness meditation.
With obesity on the rise, the number of metabolic procedures performed annually is also increasing. Bariatric surgery has a significant impact on metabolic disease but also results in significant weight loss. Approximately, 30-40% of excess weight is lost within the first year following surgery. One of the motivating factors for surgery for patients is body image dissatisfaction and the stigmatisation of living with obesity, which is linked to low esteem, anxiety and depression. However, studies have indicated that following bariatric surgery, patients continue to experience dissatisfaction with their new body and identity due to unmet expectations. The investigators aim is to start addressing body image issues prior to surgery and provide realistic expectations to patients. This study will be focusing on the feasibility and acceptability of 3D image reconstruction and virtual reality as a method of helping bariatric patients manage their expectations and improve body image satisfaction after surgery. Thereby, leading to better quality of life, improved psychological outcomes and prevention of disordered eating, anxiety and depression. The study will take place at St Mary's Hospital (London) and the West London NHS Trust Bariatric Clinic from March 2022 to September 2022 (7 months). The study aims to recruit 10 participants from the Tier 3 Bariatric Preoperative Group. Once the participant has provided written consent, a photograph of them will be taken using a handheld 3D scanner on a secure password protected device. The images will be processed to produce two reconstructed images, one with 15% less body weight and the second with 25% less body weight. The participants will be divided into groups of 5 and shown their reconstructed images using individual virtual reality headsets. The participants will only have access to their own images. This will be followed up with group peer discussion meetings and questionnaires.
While eating disorders in males are often overlooked, up to 7 million men in the United States will experience an eating disorder in their lifetime. Critically, men are less likely to seek treatment for an eating disorder compared to women. Therefore, prevention programs that target male-specific eating disorder risk factors prior to the development of an eating or appearance-related disorder are crucial in reducing eating disorders in this population. Preliminary work by our group established the initial efficacy of a novel program, the Body Project: More than Muscles (MTM) compared to assessment-only control. This study will replicate and extend this research by comparing MTM to a time and attention matched control used in previous eating disorder prevention work, media advocacy (MA).
This study is a large population-based analysis in the United Kingdom (UK) using routine primary care data to investigate the risk of mental health conditions in children, adolescents and young adults with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, compared to those without Inflammatory Bowel Disease. The study will also compare the impacts on quality-of-life outcomes and use of healthcare services between people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease with and without mental health conditions.
