Filter by:As a result of the positive and negative symptoms that occur in schizophrenia, patients with schizophrenia may experience negative emotions more frequently than individuals with other mental problems. Since these emotions can trigger psychotic symptoms, there is a need to develop effective emotion regulation strategies to be applied to patients with schizophrenia. Aim: In this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of emotion recognition and expression program on alexithymia and emotion expression in patients with schizophrenia.
Mental health and emotional awareness are a crucial need of the time. Changing lifestyles, stress, and anxiety are seen more commonly and affect many adults in the United States and other countries. Primary aim of this study is to identify the bio-physiological data that is corrected emotions of a person in support of EMO-001 device research. This study will induce different emotions in the test subjects and collect physiological response signals using Photo Plethysmography (PPG), Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) and Electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors. The sensor data is digitally recorded in a storage bank. The data will be subsequently used to develop supervised and unsupervised classification algorithms. Emotional states considered in this study are Anger, Amusement, Neutral, Disgust, Sadness, Scared, Surprise and Thrill. These emotions were induced by showing video clips of three to five minutes to the subjects. For each emotion three clips were shown to each subject. Video clips are sourced from movies, TV shows, and real-life recordings. Subjects evaluated each video clip and classify them into perceived emotional ratings. Data is processed through a series of filter and transformation methods. The transformed data is used to develop and calibrate algorithms that can identify emotions.
The primary objectives of this investigation were two-fold: 1) to investigate whether implementation of individualized desensitization exercises in an intensive stuttering group therapy for school-age children who stutter is superior to the standard application of intensive stuttering group therapy, 2) to examine the relationship between exhibited emotional reactivity (positive and negative affect) and stuttering recovery rates. Secondary objectives included: 1) investigating whether cognitive, affective, linguistic and social scores differ with treatment and, 2) heart rate and skin conductance changes associated with the stuttered utterance during intensive stuttering group therapy activities. Twelve children (8 to 12 years of age, with equal randomization [1:1]) randomized to two groups; 1) Study group, individualized desensitization exercises implemented in 2 weeks of intensive stuttering group therapy(n=6), 2) Control group, 2 weeks of standard intensive stuttering group therapy(n=6). Children were blinded to treatment arm. The first part of this study was a superiority trial of individualized desensitization exercises in intensive stuttering group therapy. The second part of the study was conducted with the study group during the daily therapy activities of intensive stuttering group therapy to investigate the emotion's effect on therapy outcomes with behavioral and physiological measures.
Pain is a common experience in youth and influences youth long after the painful situations are over. Youth memory of pain after surgery can affect painful experiences in the future. Negative memories and feelings of pain, like remembering more pain than the actual level of pain experienced are linked to anxiety for future surgery. Research has found that children's memories of pain is linked to anxiety, pain-related fear, and confidence. Children's memories for pain can be altered after a visit to the hospital, but only a couple of studies have look at this. The study will be one of the first to look at how well a parent-led memory reframing intervention to reduce youth's negative memories of surgery. We want to look at how a parent-led memory reframing session on youth's post-surgical pain memory. The study will include 90 youth who have a chest wall surgery or a spinal fusion surgery at the Alberta Children's Hospital. They will be recruited at the Alberta Children's Hospital. There will be pain tests in the form of surveys 1-3 weeks before surgery, pain monitoring in the hospital for a couple of days, pain monitoring 1-2 weeks after surgery, a clinic visit 2-4 weeks after surgery for a memory reframing session, and pain monitoring 6 weeks after surgery in the form of a telephone interview.
