Filter by:The current study is designed to measure the role of cognitive behavior therapy with PTSD patients. There are following objectives of this current study, such as 1. To examine the efficacy of CBT to overcome the severity level of PTSD and associated psychiatric problems. 2. To change negative thought patterns and dysfunctional cognition into functional thoughts and beliefs. 3. To build up social support, enhance the quality of life and refine mental health among patients with PTSD. 4. To check outs the association of PTSD with depression, intimate partner violence stigma, marital adjustment, and abuse. 5. This study would examine the efficacy of CBT to treat the severity of PTSD and associated problems (i.e. depressive symptoms, adjustment problems & discrimination) among women victims of domestic violence in shelter homes
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a debilitating disorder characterized by unwanted intrusive thoughts and disrupting repetitive rituals. Epidemiological studies estimate the prevalence of impairing OCD to be between 0.5-3.0 % in pediatric populations. Although OCD in youth is associated with substantial distress and functional impairment, access to evidence-based psychosocial treatments is limited. This is largely due to the fact that few clinicians are trained in the delivery of evidence-based treatments, such as exposure-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Therefore it is of great importance to develop treatment programs that utilize therapist resources in the most efficient way. Exposure-based CBT delivered in the context of a group, rather than individually, is one such option. However, there are currently no evidence-based group OCD treatment manuals for youth available to clinicians in Denmark. Therefore this project addresses an important clinical need. We evaluate a group-based CBT protocol for the treatment of youth with OCD, benchmarking treatment outcomes against data from a previous trial evaluating individual-based CBT and by comparing outcomes against a short waiting list period. Further, we will explore the impact of group-based CBT over a 36-month open follow-up interval on general functioning, relapse, recurrence rates, and the need for other treatments. Finally, a brief youth questionnaire assessing overall symptom severity relevant for the evaluation of outcomes in pediatric OCD will be translated and validated for future clinical and research use in Denmark. The project will include 72 adolescents with a primary diagnosis of OCD referred for assessment and treatment at the OCD Clinic at Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Aarhus University Hospital, Psychiatry, Denmark. For benchmarking of treatment outcomes, the project will compare the results from the group-based CBT with data from 45 Danish patients previously enrolled in the individual-based CBT of the Nordic Long Term OCD Treatment Study at the same clinic.
This research study is designed to develop and test a new supportive care program to help individuals with lung cancer improve their quality of life after cancer treatment is over.
Binge eating disorder is the most prevalent eating disorder, with consequences not only economic but also social. It is related to a set of cognitive alterations related to impulsivity, cognitive function, attention, decision making, emotional control and physiological alterations in the Central nervous system (CNS) in the processing of rewards, mainly in the frontal cortical regions. Psychotherapies are the standard reference treatments, with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) being the most indicated nonpharmacological intervention. However, the avoidance rates and the rates of non responders to treatment are significant. In view of this, it is believed that therapeutic approaches aimed at the modulation of the CNS, such as Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) may have a beneficial effect on the neurobiology of the processes that govern these disorders, thus adding to the effects of CBT and amplifying the therapeutic response.
The aim of the study is to compare the implementation and effectiveness of group and self-help based cognitive behavioral treatment for insomnia (CBT-I) delivered by occupational health services (OHS) in a randomized and controlled design (RCT) among different types of shift workers.
