Filter by:Disturbed sleep occurs in almost all patients in psychiatric inpatient care, and although it is well known that comorbid sleep disorders in depression often persist after treatment of depression and also increase the risk of new depressive episodes, the availability of effective, evidence-based treatments for sleep disorders in hospitalised patients is very limited. The overall goal of the current project is to translate, adapt and evaluate an acute psychological sleep treatment based on cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) for patients hospitalized with depression and comorbid sleep problems in the specialized psychiatric inpatient care in the Stockholm Region. The main hypothesis for the study is that acute psychological sleep stabilization (APS) reduces self-reported sleep complains compared to care as usual reinforced with sleep hygiene advice, and secondary hypotheses are that APS also leads to reduced depressive symptoms and earlier discharge. The project includes a pilot study, which will be followed by a randomized, controlled trial of APS compared to care as usual with structured sleep hygiene (minimal active control) and treatment effect is evaluated every three days during the hospital stay and 1,2,4 and 12 weeks after randomization. APS will be performed by existing staff in the department with the support of a psychologist.
This is an open-label study, in which all participants receives an active treatment with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) according to clinical protocol. The aim with this pilotstudy is to investigate the feasibility to perform a trial of low-frequency rTMS on treatment-resistant depression in adolescents. The study includes adolescents 13-19 years old, with average to severe depression.
This study is a randomized open-label single-blind non-inferiority comparative effectiveness study of ECT vs. KET for the treatment of Acute Suicidal Depression (ASD).
Sleep plays a fundamental role in both mental- and physical-health, with good sleep health including adequate duration and quality, appropriate timing, regularity, and absence of sleep disorders. The purpose of this study is to evaluate sleep in adolescent and if brief behavioral and sleep hygiene education with mindfulness intervention improves, sleep timing, sleep duration, sleep quality, anxiety- and depression symptoms. During adolescence extensive physiological changes happen that make it easier for adolescents to stay up later, that may increase the time it may take them to fall-asleep and developing insomnia symptoms. At the same time psychosocial changes happen, the societal changes in the last decade may even have further amplified late sleep in adolescents, with increase in social media use and evening screen-time. As sleep need is not decreased and with adolescents having to wake up at "socially acceptable times" rather than the endogenous sleep offset time, sleep duration may be shortened causing chronic sleep loss and daytime sleepiness. Insufficient sleep in adolescents may affect their daytime functioning, causing fatigue and memory issues, affect school attendance and academic performance, affect mood, mental- and physical health, cause behavioral dysfunction and has been associated with worse health outcomes, adverse risk behaviors and even increase risk for accidents.This study should advance understanding of sleep in adolescents and if this simple interventions can be effective in improving their sleep and mental health.
An implantable cardiac defibrillator (implantable cardioverter-defibrillator; ICD) can effectively improve heart rhythm problems and reduce sudden death, and is widely used in the treatment of high-risk patients with fatal arrhythmias or heart rhythm problems that cannot be controlled by drugs . In the whole case of arrhythmia, after receiving home-based cardiac fibrillator treatment, Patients often experience uncertainty, feel the changes in heart, feel the shock of being shocked by the electric shock, and worry about death, These psychological distress, which were characterized by anxiety and depression. for universal. About 25% of patients present with symptoms of anxiety at the time of hospitalization, and 50% suffer from depression which seriously affects quality of life. Therefore, the main purpose of this study to alleviate the occurrence of anxiety and depression, promote disease patients to regain life adaptation, develop accessible care strategies with midfulness-based intervention to help patients overcome psychological distress, reduce stress, anxiety and prevent depression.
This study is a single-center, cross-sectional, and survey study. Through questionnaire surveys, information about the anxiety and depression status of residents of elderly care institutions in Zhejiang Province is collected. Through multi-factor analysis, the relevant influencing factors that affect their psychological status are clarified. The happy old age society provides reference opinions.
The purpose of the current study is to perform a unified, homogeneous data collection protocol that includes a large cohort of patients undergoing different treatment options for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) as an avenue for investigating optimal biomarkers for depression treatments on an individual patient level.
Depending on the YASAM project which was established to home-visit evaluate community-dwelling older adults (80 years of age and over), we aimed to determine the prevalence (prevalence) of geriatric syndromes (dependence, frailty, malnutrition, depression, dementia, comorbidity burden, polypharmacy) in these individuals and to determine possible changes in the follow-up of the patients during the 2-year follow-up period. (HEAVEN trial)
Depression is the most prevalent mental health condition among VHA patients and is strongly associated with poor functioning, negative health outcomes, and suicide. Despite effective and available treatments, engagement in care is poor. This study will analyze VHA electronic medical record data, to identify patient characteristics associated with poor treatment engagement. The study will then develop and formatively evaluate an eHealth intervention to improve and sustain engagement in mental health care through self-monitoring. This is an important step in engaging Veterans who, in part, based on their military training, may have difficulty identifying or accepting depressed affect and the benefits of treatment. The information obtained will inform clinical strategies and operations policy to improve quality, coordination, and efficiency of mental health services.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of Rehacom on depression and Quality of life in post covid -19 patients. The main question it aims to answer is: • Is a cognitive rehabilitation therapy will improve depression and quality of life in patients with post COVID-19? Researchers will compare Rehacom with exercise therapy to see if rehacom can improve depression and quality of life in patients with post COVID-19 neuropsychological problems.
