Filter by:Granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM) is a relatively rare chronic inflammatory disease of the breast in clinical practice. A small number of patients develop hyperprolactinemia during psychiatric drug treatment, and most of these patients are nulliparous. At present, there is no unified treatment mode at home and abroad, and surgery is generally the main treatment. GLM is a sterile inflammation, and glucocorticoids and methotrexate can effectively relieve clinical symptoms and even reach the standard of cure. In order to reduce the recurrence rate and protect the breast appearance as much as possible, we propose a conservative therapy. The purpose of this study was to compare this conservative therapy of granulomatous lobular mastitis with existing surgical treatment, and to compare the overall benefits of the two for patients with GLM. We aim to protect the breast appearance on the premise of low recurrence, improve the quality of life of GLM patients with psychiatric disorders .
Hoarding disorder (HD) is a chronic, progressive, and debilitating psychiatric condition that leads to devastating personal and public consequences, particularly for older adults. This confirmatory efficacy trial will advance our knowledge of the mechanisms of action in the treatment of HD as well as reduce symptom severity, disability, and community consequences.
The study aims to examine effectiveness of the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) on sensory, digestive, and eating behaviors in children currently receiving therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the effects of in-person speech-language therapy with a novel digital storybook intervention platform (Hear Me Read) improves vocabulary, speech and language, and literacy outcomes in young children who are deaf or hard of hearing compared with in-person therapy alone.
The primary objective of this grant is to develop and evaluate an Artificial Intelligence-based clinical training tool--CBTpro--to support high-quality skills training in CBT for psychosis (CBTp). CBTpro will provide a rapid means of scaling and sustaining high-quality CBTp in routine care settings across the US.
There are very few long-term studies that analyze the immune responses in patients recovered from COVID-19 caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The main aim of this study is to analyze the clinical profile and immune responses of recovered COVID-19 patients in a representative cohort of people in the Umbria region of Italy. The participants had a history of testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 in March 2020 by Reverse Transcriptase- Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR). The participants were invited for voluntary participation in a seroprevalence study. This study analyzes longitudinally the presence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 by sequential serological tests at different time points using two FDA-approved Immunoassays. At the first serum sample collection, the participants were asked to provide information about their COVID-19 clinical history including clinical profile, co-morbidities, and treatment undertaken using a standardized questionnaire. Successive sequential serological assessments were conducted to understand the immune responses in these recovered patients. Moreover, stage two of the study involves, analysis of antibody titers in recovered vaccinated individuals and their follow-up.
In this study the investigators hypothesize, that Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy (OMT) will reduce migraine disability and severity scores when compared to standard of care including prophylactic pharmacological agents with treatment over 12 week time frame. The investigators aim to decrease severity and disability of migraine by utilizing Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy. This would ultimately reduce the utilization of office or emergency department visits, decrease the large economic burden the United States faces for migraine patients as well as improve quality of life for the 3 million chronic migraine patients.
This study aims to improve eating disorders symptomatology, mental, psychosocial and physical health, quality of life, strength and body composition of adolescents with eating disorders by the development of a dog-assisted therapy program. The current research will involve thirty-two patients distributed equally in a control and an experimental group. The intervention group will participate once a week in a dog-assisted therapy of seven weeks. Moreover, all the included patients will participate in an assessment session before and after the intervention to compare the effects of the dog-assisted therapy within and between groups in anxiety, depression, character, behavior, eating disorder evolution, health-related quality of life, treatment satisfaction, strength and body composition. Based on previous studies on different populations, it is expected that, compared to the control group, the experimental group may experience a potential reduction in anxiety, depression and symptoms, while improving quality of life, strength, body composition and behavior.
The study by giving a sleep disorder Parkinson's disease patients with different patterns of ultra-low frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation or sham stimulation, scale for assessment of the patients were observed, hematology and imaging changes before and after therapy, clear ultra-low frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation for sleep disorder Parkinson's disease treatment, to explore the mechanism of action, compare the difference between different modes.
The most common reasons Veterans seek VA addiction and mental health care is for help with opioid and alcohol misuse, depression and PTSD. Research evidence has established highly effective treatments that prevent relapse, overdose and suicide, but even with policy mandates, performance metrics, and electronic health records to fix the problem, these treatments may only reach 3-28% of patients. This study tests participatory business engineering methods (Participatory System Dynamics) that engage patients, providers and policy makers against the status quo approaches, such as data review, and will determine if participatory system dynamics works, why it works, and whether it can be applied in many health care settings to guarantee patient access to the highest quality care and better meet the addiction and mental health needs of Veterans and the U.S. population.
