NCT ID: NCT06308744 Completed - Control Condition Clinical Trials

A Large Multi-site Study on Self-administered Mindfulness

Start date: March 23, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The use of self-administered mindfulness interventions has increased in recent years. The effectiveness of these interventions on regulating stress/emotions, however, is debated. In the present multi-site study (Nsites = x, Nparticipants = x), the investigators aimed to investigate the effectiveness of four single, brief stand-alone mindfulness exercises in a population unfamiliar with mindfulness meditation. The investigators tested these four interventions in comparison to non-mindful active control conditions using an adaptive Bayesian design. The investigators found [evidence for the efficacy of x exercises/no evidence for the efficacy of x exercises] with an estimated mean effect size of [xx/xx]. This means that… or The investigators recommend that… [recommendation will be provided].

NCT ID: NCT06043492 Completed - Clinical trials for High Intensity Interval Training

Recovery Following Acute Endurance Training

ETRec
Start date: September 30, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Aerobic capacity is critical for many athletes, especially for endurance athletes. Althgough several training methods are implemented by coaches to improve endurance performance, recovery following acute endurance training is not adequately studied. However, such information is crucial for coaches to effectively design the most favorable training program, to avoid muscle injuries and overtraining, and ultimately to improve performance of their athletes. This study aims to examine the acute effect of different continuous and HIIT training protocols on indices of metabolism, EIMD, neuromuscular fatigue and performance in middle- and long-distance runners.

NCT ID: NCT06017440 Completed - Exercise Clinical Trials

Effect of Acute Exercise on Sensory and Hedonic Responses to a Fixed Meal in Adolescents With Obesity

SMASH
Start date: July 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

While long considered independently, energy expenditure and energy intake have been shown to interact. Fot the last 20 years, the litterature has been describing tyhe effects of an acute bout of exercise on subsequent energy intake and appetitive responses, indicating a potenital anorexigenic effect of intensive exercise in adolescents with obesity. These studies suggest a decrease in hunger, redcued satiety and modified food reward responses. These results remain however obtained in studies using post exercise ad libitum test meals and this nature of the meal might ahve impact these responses. The present work tends to assess the effect of acute exercise on subsequent appetite and food reward responses to a fixed meal, in adolescents with obesity.

NCT ID: NCT05376059 Completed - Control Condition Clinical Trials

How v. How and Why Nudges and Rewards

Start date: April 24, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Members of CVS/Aetna will receive a direct mailing or receive no outreach at all. Our design will be a 3-cell between-subjects design: 1. control: this will be a group who will not receive any outreach 2. how: this will be a group that will receive a mailer emphasizing only how to seek treatment for mental health issues 3. how and why: this will be a mailer emphasizing both how to get help and why they should get help for mental health issues (i.e., listing out how mental health treatment can improve their lives). Within the how and how and why conditions, participants will be further divided into two different groups: 1. incentive ineligible 2. incentive eligible The incentive ineligible will receive the how or how and why mailer, depending on their condition. For the incentive eligible, they will again further be divided into the following two groups: 1. incentive holdout 2. incentive receive Those randomized into the incentive holdout group will receive the how or how and why mailer, depending on their condition. Those randomized into the incentive receive group will receive one of those two mailers, but it will also include an incentive if they seek out mental health treatment (if they visit a therapist within 30 days, they will receive a gift card).

NCT ID: NCT05333848 Completed - CONTROL Condition Clinical Trials

Effects of Internet-based Storytelling Programs in Reducing Mental Illness Stigma With Mediation by Interactivity and Stigma Content

Start date: December 27, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Mental illness stigma has been a concerning issue globally due to its adverse effects on the recovery of people with mental illness and may delay help-seeking for mental health out of the concern of being stigmatized. With technological advancement, Internet-based mental health stigma reduction interventions have been developed to combat mental illness stigma and the effects have been promising. The present study aimed to examine the differential effects of Internet-based storytelling programs varied on level of interactivity and stigma content in reducing mental illness stigma. In the present study, the investigator hypothesized that an Internet-based storytelling program with a combination of interactivity and stigma content would lead to the most significant reduction in public stigma, microaggression, and social distance from people with mental illnesses, followed by Internet-based storytelling program with stigma content-only and interactivity-only, compared with control. Secondly, the investigator hypothesized that the effects observed in stigma reduction would be mediated by perceived autonomy and immersiveness due to the presence of interactivity.

NCT ID: NCT04847427 Completed - Control Condition Clinical Trials

Recovery Kinetics After Different Power Training Protocols (PTRecovery)

PTRecovery
Start date: April 20, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Muscle power is one of the most important parameters in almost every athletic action, expressing the ability of the human muscle to produce great amounts of force with the greatest possible speed. For enhancing their muscle power, athletes comprise several resistance training programs as part of their training. However, muscle power training comprises of eccentric muscle actions, which, especially when unaccustomed, can lead to exercise-induced muscle damage and deterioration of muscle performance. Nevertheless, despite the fact that muscle power training comprises eccentric muscle actions, and consequently can lead to muscle injury and muscle performance reduction during the following days, the recovery kinetics after acute muscle power training have not been adequately studied. However, information regarding the recovery of the muscles after a power training protocol, is critical for the correct design of a training microcycle, and the reduction of injury risk. The aim of the present study is to investigate the muscle injury provoked after acute muscle power training using three different power training exercise protocols. Additionally, the effect of these protocols on muscle performance and neuromuscular fatigue indices will be examined.

This pilot study seeks to provide effect size estimates and test feasibility of a novel, integrated behavioral approach to reduce heavy drinking and chronic pain among patients in HIV-care delivered via internet-based videoconferencing.

NCT ID: NCT03855254 Completed - Control Condition Clinical Trials

Psychological Context Effects

Start date: September 1, 2018
Phase: N/A

NCT ID: NCT02902952 Completed - Control Condition Clinical Trials

Physical Exercise to Reduce Anxiety in Underserved Children With ASD

PETRA
Start date: October 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Anxiety is one of the most frequent comorbidities in children with ASD leading to poor clinical outcomes. Physical exercise has been shown to be a promising and easy to implement intervention for reducing anxiety. However, little is known about the feasibility and efficacy of physical exercise to reduce anxiety in children with ASD from underserved, low-income families. Children with ASD, ages 6 - 12 years old from low-income and Latino families will be recruited for the study and assigned to an exercise intervention group and a sedentary control group. The physical exercise program is an eight-week program, administered three times per week in small groups. Compliance, parent-rated anxiety, and salivary cortisol will be measured before and after completion of the exercise and control group interventions.
