Filter by:The study evaluates the effect of Dialectic Behavior Therapy Skills System (DBT-SS) in individuals with Intelligence Quotient 65-85 and recurrent self-harm. The study is primarily descriptive with 6 cases followed by repeated measurements (weekly; time series analysis). Primary outcome measure is frequency and severity of self-harming behavior, reported weekly 4 weeks before the start of the intervention, throughout the intervention and 12 weeks after the intervention has stopped.
Use lay language. According to the World Health Organization 1 death by suicide occurs every 40 seconds, leading suicide prevention to one of the public health priority. BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) is a common condition affecting 6% of the population. This disorder is characterized by unstable emotions, unstable mood, difficulties with relationship and feer of abandonment. Borderline Personality Disorder is also the psychopathology the most related to suicidal attempts. Indeed, up to 50% of the patients admitted to hospital after a suicide attempt are diagnosis with a Borderline Personality Disorder Negative interpersonal events (events occurring between two people) are known as the main stressor that trigger a suicidal attempt. People with a Borderline Personality Disorder are highly sensitive to it. Moreover, neuropeptides such as oxytocin (OXT), vasopressin and opioid are known to be involved in the regulation of the emotions, especially those linked to relationship. The purpose of this study is to improve knowledge in suicidal behaviors. After simulating an interpersonal stress, the evolution of plasma neuropeptides level (OXT, vasopressin and opioid) of patients with a BPD will be compared to healthy controls (HC). Clinical data reflecting how the participant is feeling will be collected as well.
Hallucinations in borderline personality disorder are a frequent an serious trouble which have an important impact in patients lives. Despite this, they are often ignored by nursing staff, and are not an important criteria in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) 5 and Classification Internationale des maladies (CIM-10). The main objective of our study is to assess the prevalence of this trouble in borderline personality disorder (BPD) population, and to characterize the hallucinations in order to compare our results with those of international studies.
The study aims to evaluate the impact of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on impulsiveness of adults suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder. Short- and long-term effects are assessed by electroencephalography (EEG) records, experimental tasks and self-rated scales.
A multicentre randomized double-blind placebo controlled parallel design (10 weeks) study investigating probiotic supplementation in highly impulsive adults (18-65 yrs; N=180). The probiotic studied is Synbiotic2000Forte that contain three well-studied anti-inflammatory lactic acid bacteria (LABs) and four fermentable fibers: Pediococcus pentosaceus 5-33:3, Lactobacillus paracasei subsp paracasei 19, and Lactobacillus plantarum 2362 in combination with the following four fermentable fibres: betaglucan, inulin, pectin and resistant starch. With this study we aim to detect, whether treatment with probiotics is effective in adults with high levels of impulsivity, compulsivity, and aggression.
This randomized trial with a crossover design will examine the efficacy of rTMS targeting the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex as a treatment for medication-resistant major depression in patients meeting diagnostic criteria for borderline personality disorder.
The primary objective of the proposed study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Brexpiprazole in adults with borderline personality disorder (BPD). The hypothesis to be tested is that brexpiprazole will be more effective and well tolerated in adults with BPD compared to placebo. The proposed study will provide needed data on the treatment of a disabling disorder.
The trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel internet intervention (Priovi), which was designed to introduce relevant schema therapy techniques to Persons with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Therefore, 200 people with BPD will be recruited and randomized to two groups: (1) a control group, in which they may engage with any BPD treatment (Care-as-Usual, CAU) and receive access to Priovi after a delay of 12 months (i.e., CAU/wait list control group), or (2) to a treatment group that immediately receives 12-month access to Priovi and may also use CAU. The primary outcome measure is the score of the Borderline Personality Disorder Severity Index (BPDSI), collected at three, six and 12 month post-baseline.
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a commonly occurring, severe, and costly condition that interferes greatly with quality of life. Considerable comorbidity with other disorders and existing multicomponent treatments with largely untested putative mechanisms of action represent obstacles for effective dissemination of BPD treatment; in light of this gap, the purpose of the present study is to isolate the effects of individual treatment components on putative mechanisms implicated in both BPD. This study will answer important theoretical questions about the mechanism of treatment change, and might lead to more efficacious, cost-effective, and easily disseminable treatment strategies for BPD, a severe and understudied disorder.
The purpose of this study is to test the potential of the rapid-acting anti-depressant ketamine to decrease suicidality in Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). The rate of completed suicide in BPD is similar to that of depression or schizophrenia. There is currently no specific medication treatment for BPD. Ketamine is an FDA-approved anesthetic agent that has been shown to rapidly decrease suicidality and improve mood in people with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Though symptoms overlap, effective treatments for MDD and BPD differ. This clinical trial tests if ketamine also decreases suicidality and improves mood in BPD. This trial will also measure several other outcomes after ketamine versus placebo in BPD: adverse events, BPD symptoms, pain, social cognition, and neuroplasticity.
