Cost-effectiveness of a Transdiagnostic Psychological Treatment for

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to test the cost-effectiveness and cost-utility of adding a transdiagnostic group cognitive-behavioural therapy (TD-CBT) to treatment as usual (TAU) for emotional disorders in primary care . A single-blind randomized controlled clinical trial will be conducted to compare the TD-CBT group therapy plus TAU to progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) group plus TAU in individuals, aged 18 to 65, with emotional disorders in four primary care centres located in Cantabria, Spain. The study will take a societal perspective. Psychological assessments will be carried out at baseline, post-treatment, and 12-months follow-up. The assessments will include measures of clinical symptoms (anxiety, depression, and/or somatic), dysfunction, cognitive-emotional factors (ruminative processes, pathological concern, attentional and interpretative biases, emotion regulation strategies and meta-cognitive beliefs), and satisfaction with the treatment received. Data on health service use, including medication and days of absence from work, will be collected from electronic medical records. The primary outcomes are the incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICER) based on the difference in mean costs and effectiveness between interventions and incremental cost-utility ratios (ICURs) based on health-related quality of life at post-treatment and 12-month follow-up. Secondary outcome measures include clinical symptoms, quality of life, functioning and treatment satisfaction. Bootstrap sampling will be used to assess the uncertainty of the results. Secondary moderation and mediation analyses will also be conducted. In addition, in sessions' number 1, 4 and 7 of both treatment arms, two questionnaires will be administered that collect therapeutic alliance and group satisfaction. The main study hypothesis is that adding TD-CBT to TAU in primary care will be more cost-effective than TAU plus PMR. In addition, these gains will be maintained in the 12-month follow-up. If it is successful, the dissemination of cost-effective treatment can help to overcome problems in accessing psychological treatment for emotional disorders in the context of an increasing demand for mental healthcare in primary care.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
