Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether a modified yoga program helps improve pain and function in elders age 65 years or older living in an assisted living community. Participation in regular physical activity, such as yoga, may improve strength and mobility and decrease pain. This study was developed to ascertain whether a modified yoga program improves pain and function in assisted-living elders, age 65 years and older.
Management of known patients with cardiovascular disease (in particular the whole spectrum of atherosclerotic ischaemic coronary artery disease, essential hypertension under treatment, and also patients with chronic heart failure under medication) and with other associated chronic pathologies, with obvious effects on the management of the pandemic with modern / distance means (e-Health) of patients at high risk of mortality in contact with coronavirus. Given the Covid-19 Pandemic, all the above complex cardiovascular patients are under the obligation to stay in the house isolated and can no longer come to standard clinical and paraclinical monitoring and control visits. Therefore, a remote management solution (tele-medicine) of these patients must be found. The Investigators endeavour is to create an electronic platform to communicate with these patients and offer solutions for their cardiovascular health issues (including psychological and religious problems due to isolation). The Investigators intend to create this platform for communicating with a patient and stratify their complaints in risk levels. A given specialist will sort and classify their needs on a scale, based on specific algorithms (derived from the clinical European Cardiovascular Guidelines), and generate specific protocols varying from 911 like emergencies to cardiological advices or psychological sessions. These could include medication changing of doses, dietary advices or exercise restrictions. Moreover, in those patients suspected of COVID infection, special assistance should be provided per protocol.
This study plans to learn if creative arts programs that include visual, musical, written, or physical expression can reduce symptoms of burnout syndrome, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety in critical care healthcare professionals. This study also explores if creative arts can enhance the connection to the purpose of work, the development of adequate coping skills, while providing time to connect with peers.
The present study aims to determine the effect of presenting psychoeducation emphasizing "growth-mindset," and information on depression and anxiety symptom severity. The investigators hypothesize that psychoeducation emphasizing that mental health is malleable will increase the participant's engagement with risk factors outlined in the intervention
The investigators performed a randomised controlled trial with 202 healthy university students in the Oslo area, with 50:50 in a yoga intervention group and a waitlist control group. Measures included symptoms of depression and anxiety, sleep problems, heart rate variability (HRV), well-being and mindfulness at week 0 (baseline), week 12 (post-intervention) and week 24 (follow-up).
Psychological and existential distress are a common cause of suffering among patients nearing the end of life, and a major reason for requesting medical aid in dying. Existing treatments for psychological and existential suffering have low efficacy and are challenging to use in a palliative context. There is a need to develop scalable, brief, and rapidly effective therapeutic approaches that can reduce psychological and existential distress in patients nearing the end of life. Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is an effective treatment for refractory depression, and new protocols and increasing availability of rTMS may make this therapy feasible and acceptable for patients who suffer from psychological or existential distress near the end of life. Among patients with advanced illness followed by a PC provider, the study objectives are to: 1. Identify the lowest and range of therapeutic rTMS dose to relieve psychological distress, including an analysis of clinical predictors of response. 2. Test the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of rTMS for the treatment of psychological distress including: 1) ease of recruitment; 2) completion of follow-up; 3) effect size and variance estimates of treatment for primary and secondary outcomes; and 4) patient satisfaction with treatment. This study is a phase 2a dose-finding open-label clinical trial, followed by a phase 2b prospective, sham-control or sham-crossover study, depending on the therapeutic dose identified in phase 2a. The investigators will enroll eligible patients from an inpatient palliative care unit and administer rTMS according to established best practice international guidelines. Two screening tests will be conducted (one completed by patient and another by the treating physician) to ensure the patient has no contraindications to rTMS. In the open-label dose-finding study, investigators will determine the appropriate dose of treatment that leads to positive patient outcomes, assess characteristics associated with positive and rapid response to rTMS, and examine if this treatment is feasible and acceptable to patients by measuring rates of enrollment and completion of the treatment sessions. Based on results from this first phase, a phase 2b feasibility and preliminary efficacy randomized clinical trial will be conducted to measure the effect of rTMS by comparing patient symptoms before and after the rTMS intervention.
Given the prevalence of suicide and mental health issues in rural Montana, this project is intended to help mitigate stressors that may contribute to poor behavioral and mental health in high school-aged children. The immediate goal is to determine viability of a partnership with a rural southwestern Montana school and test the feasibility of a piloted implementation of a trauma-informed yoga intervention to address behavioral health outcomes and positive youth development.
100 participants will be enrolled in a two-armed randomized controlled trial of the Accumulated Depression and Anxiety Plans and Treatments (ADAPT) platform which integrates internet Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (iCBT) to determine impact on symptoms of depression and anxiety. This trial will pilot the effectiveness of the ADAPT platform, and evaluate the extent to which the ADAPT platform engages putative targets of personal relevance, skills use, and skills mastery.
This study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records
The Strong People Strength Training study aims to assess whether a community-based progressive strength training program can improve risk factors for diabetes and heart disease in older rural adults.
