Filter by:This pilot study examines the feasibility and acceptability of transitioning office-based buprenorphine treatment of opioid use disorder from physicians to pharmacists. Results from this study will inform the development of a future multi-site randomized clinical trial.
Social anxiety disorder among youth is highly prevalent and causes significant impairment in the lives of the affected. In spite of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) being an effective treatment, research suggests that many young people with this disorder do not have access to good-quality CBT. Internet-delivered CBT could be an effective method to increase availability of evidence-based treatments for youth with social anxiety disorder. The primary objective of this study is to test the efficacy of internet-delivered CBT (ICBT) for youth (10 - 17 years) with social anxiety disorder. The investigators aim to conduct a randomized controlled trial with N = 101 participants. Participants will be randomized to either the active treatment arm (guided ICBT) or to a control condition (guided internet-delivered support and counseling). Follow-ups will be conducted at 3 and 12 months after post-assessment.
This observational cohort study in healthy volunteers establishes normative data for the German version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and investigates the possible impacts of demographics on the MoCA total score.
This study assessed whether AFQ056 had a beneficial effect by reducing cocaine use in Cocaine Use Disorder (CUD) patients as assessed by Timeline Follow-Back cocaine self-report.
According to studies, approximately 20% of children having contact with child protection services have conduct disorder. Negative parenting can make this problem even worse. Research has shown Incredible Years Program to be one of the most effective programs to prevent and reduce child conduct problems. This study is an randomized controlled trial, which evaluates the suitability and effectiveness of group-based Incredible Years program in child protection and family support services. The aim of this study is to find out whether this intervention reduces children's psychiatric symptoms, especially conduct symptoms, increases positive parenting and positive interaction between parents and children, and reduces children's and parent's stress and increase well-being. The study will be carried out in 2015-2018. Overall 101 children and 120 parents participate in the study.
This study will examine the effects of almonds consumed by adults with different body fat distributions on indices of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.
An acute psychotic episode is a severe psychiatric syndrome which might occur in different psychiatric diagnoses. The outcome prediction of relapse rate of a psychotic episode within a certain time frame is difficult and depends on many factors. More and better predictors are required to improve the outcome prediction in order to adjust therapy and follow-up if patients suffer from this acute disease. Copeptin, a surrogate marker for vasopressin, has been proven helpful in the prediction of the outcome in serious somatic diseases. Additionally, a rise of copeptin due to psychological stress was shown. The aim of this study is to investigate the association of the neuroendocrine biomarker copeptin and the prediction of the onset of psychotic episode within one year.
A study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dasotraline in children 6 to 12 years of age with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in a simulated classroom setting.
The aims of COMET are the implementation and evaluation of effectiveness and cost-effectiveness as well as processes of a collaborative and stepped care model for depressive, anxiety, somatoform and/or alcohol abuse disorders within a multiprofessional network in comparison to routine care. In a cluster-randomized controlled effectiveness trial 570 patients will be recruited by 38 general practitioner practices and followed with a prospective survey at four time points. The primary outcome is the change in health-related quality of life from baseline to 6-months follow-up. Secondary outcomes include disorder-specific symptom burden, response, remission, functional quality of life, cost-effectiveness, evaluation of processes and other clinical and psychosocial variables.
Substance use disorders (SUDs) are a prevalent and impairing condition, particularly among trauma exposed individuals. The current proposal aims to address the critical need for targeted direct SUD prevention in this population by intervening on a novel, malleable risk factor for SUD common among trauma-exposed individuals: sleep disturbance. Sleep disturbance prospectively predicts the development of SUD and may confer risk for SUD by increasing stress reactivity, decreasing decision-making abilities, and ultimately promoting substance use to relieve negative affect, a core etiological factor in SUD. However, to our knowledge, no experimental studies have determined whether improving sleep leads to reductions in SUD risk. As such, the current study will use a randomized controlled trial design to test the effects of brief behavioral treatment for insomnia (BBTI) against a waitlist control among a sample of trauma-exposed young adults with poor sleep and risk for SUD (N = 60). We aim to determine the direct and indirect effects of condition (BBTI vs. waitlist control) on SUD symptoms, substance use-related problems, coping motives, and posttraumatic stress symptoms through improvements in sleep. Furthermore, we will test direct and indirect effects of condition on theoretically proposed mechanisms underlying the association between sleep disturbance and SUD risk (i.e., stress reactivity, cravings in response to stress).
