Filter by:The proposed project aims to test the cognitive and neural effects of a cognitive training in a sample of individuals seeking treatment for anxiety, depression, or traumatic stress symptoms. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Group 1 will receive a computer-based program that is designed as a cognitive training intervention and Group 2 will receive a similar computer-based exercise that researchers think will be less effective in training thinking skills (also known as a control or sham condition). Participants will be compared on cognitive performance and brain response during cognitive tasks from baseline to post-treatment.
The objective of this pilot project is to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and mental health impact of OULA for women with postpartum depression (PPD).
1. To identify the prevalence of both anxiety and depression in thyroid cancer patients 2. To assess quality of life in thyroid cancer patients
Many cancer patients suffer from pain, sleep, and mood problems and are using cannabis to relieve these symptoms. Cannabis may provide such relief but may also produce negative side effects including cognitive impairment, an especially problematic issue for cancer patients, indicating more research on cannabis use in the cancer context is required. In this endeavor, the present study seeks to compare the use of hemp-derived CBD (Cannabidiol) with and without THC (Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) versus placebo on measures of sleep, pain, mood, subjective and objective cognitive functioning, and quality of life within 185 cancer patients.
The purpose of this study, which includes a clinical trial, is to adapt and assess the efficacy of Parenting-STAIR (PSTAIR), an intervention which combines existing evidence-based treatments Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation (STAIR) and Parent-Child Care (PC-Care) to reduce symptoms of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and improve parenting among military-connected mothers. Participants in the clinical trial will receive PSTAIR or trauma-focused treatment as usual (either prolonged exposure or cognitive processing therapy).
There is a lack of data on patients self-reported outcomes (PROMs) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL)and symptoms on anxiety and depression 10 years after Surgical After Aortic Valve Replacement (SAVR), and patient reported experiences with the health services (PREMS). In this 10-years follow-up study on patients alive from the study named "The Impact of 24/ 7-phone Support on Readmission After Aortic Valve Replacement, a Randomized Clinical Trial (AVRre)" NCT02522663 we will repeat the survey on symtoms on anxiety and depresion using Hospital Anxiety and depression Scale (HADS), health-related quality of life (EQ-5D) and questions about experiences with the health services.
To explore the effectiveness and safety of rTMS intervention with different targets in the left prefrontal cortex defined using the pBFS method, in adult patients with moderate and severe depressive disorder. Second, investigate the neural circuit that responds to the rTMS intervention using individualized brain image analysis, which may help to establish an effective target for the neuromodulation of patients with major depressive disorder.
In certain low- and middle- income country settings, there is a disproportionate level of untreated postpartum depression that presents both acute and long-term risks to a mother's well-being. Although there is increasing willingness among health systems to involve non-specialists, such as community health workers, in the delivery of psychosocial interventions for postpartum depression, the effectiveness of these interventions has been mixed. The incorporation of digital technology, though, has the potential to improve the effectiveness of non-specialist-delivered interventions. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the acceptability and clinical efficacy of the StandStrong intervention- a non-specialist, passive sensing technology-informed (i.e., digital) mental health intervention- as compared to a standard non-specialist mental health intervention among postpartum-depressed mothers in Nepal. Successful completion of the trial will contribute to the optimization of psychosocial intervention delivery for the postpartum context in low- and middle-income country settings.
Adapting mental health treatments to address modifiable interpersonal problems has the potential to improve and sustain outcomes in low-resource settings where treatment gaps persist. This K23 Award will prepare the candidate to become an independent investigator with high-impact public health research and expertise in couple-based interventions that address interrelated mental health problems and intimate partner violence in couples by gaining expertise in engagement and treatment of men, adapting an evidence-based treatment for common mental disorders to address IPV in couples, designing and conducting randomized controlled trials with couples, and professional skills development. This work has applicability for low-resource low-income countries and US populations that experience couple-based violence and the mental health treatment gap. With its focus on intimate partners, the intervention also has the potential to benefit health and wellbeing of children.
Purpose: The purpose of this research is to pilot test a novel, alternative, potentially sustainable system of teacher-delivered, task-shifted adolescent mental health care. Participants: Principals of 60 rural, low-cost private secondary schools of the Darjeeling Himalayas will be invited to participate as a school and an individual. Teachers will be approached individually. Two students per teacher who meet inclusion criteria will be randomly chosen for enrollment. Procedures: This is a RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance) guided, mixed methods CRCT, clustered at schools, of Tealeaf-A's Reach, Adoption & Implementation (Primary Outcomes, implementation-based), as well as evaluating for preliminary indicators of Effectiveness & Maintenance (Secondary Outcomes, clinically-based).
