Filter by:Evaluate feasibility and acceptability of recruiting Black and Hispanic families for an open label clinical trial of micronutrients while collecting real-time parent-reported child behavior data and collecting at-home biospecimens to explore their potential as biomarkers, in a study of pediatric ADHD.
Focus groups to identify treatment needs and barriers to participation in the planned multinutrient study among racially and ethnically diverse (Black and Hispanic) communities.
This study is being done to compare the effectiveness of three different skills trainings to cope with distress. These three trainings are: 1) an attention skills training, 2) an attention and reflective thought skills training, and 3) a health and wellness education training.
A clinical trial to evaluate the effects of an eight-week emotion regulation group intervention designed for adolescents (16-20 years old) on the levels of emotion dysregulation both self-reported by the adolescent and reported by his/her parent/caregiver (pre-post comparison). The long-term effect will also be measured at a third-time point, three months after the end of the intervention. The intervention will consist of 90-minute sessions once a week for 8 weeks, in groups of eight participants. The intervention proposed for this study is an adaptation from different interventions already in use for adolescents in clinical practice, such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT) and Mindfulness-Based Intervention (MBI).
The primary goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the unique neural and behavioral effects of a one-session training combining emotion regulation skills training, with excitatory repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC). The secondary aim is to identify key changes in the emotion regulation neural network following the combined intervention versus each of the components alone. The third aim is to explore personalized biomarkers for response to emotion regulation training. Participants will undergo brain imaging while engaging in an emotional regulation task. Participants will be randomly assigned to learn one of two emotion regulation skills. Participants will be reminded of recent stressors and will undergo different types of neurostimulation, targeted using fMRI (functional MRI) results. Participants who may practice their emotion regulation skills during neurostimulation in a one-time session. Following this training, participants will undergo another fMRI and an exit interview to assess for immediate neural and behavioral changes. Measures of emotion regulation will be assessed at a one week and a one month follow up visit.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is frequently associated with emotional dysregulation (ED). ED is characterized by excessive and inappropriate emotional reactions compared to social norms, uncontrolled and rapide shifts in emotion and attention focused on emotional stimuli. According to research, there are strong correlations between personality traits and psychiatric disorder as ADHD. In a longitudinal study, the persistence of ADHD symptoms during adolescence is associated with high neuroticism, low agreeableness and low conscience. Studies show that these personality traits are factors of vulnerabilities for comordities associated with ADHD and are predictive of overall functioning difficulties. Studies show correlations between ADHD in childhood and personality disorders at adulthood . ADHD is frequently associated with emotional dysregulation (ED) that is characterized by an inability to modulate emotional responses in a given context . ED is observed in 24% to 50% children with ADHD . Children with ADHD and ED are more likely to present a severe and complex symptomatology and are at risk for antisocial and bordeline personality disorders than children without ED. To date, there would be no studies which would have been interested in personality traits in children with ADHD and ED. The main objective is to determine if children with ADHD and ED present from childhood traits of personality as low agreeableness, low conscience and high neuroticism that are predictive of personality disorders at adulthood. It would involve earl identification of children at increased risk of pejorative developmental trajectories. The second objectives are: - Improve understanding of the heterogeneity of ADHD symptom expression; - Have a better understanding of the child's personalit and temperament traits to identify riks and protective factors; - Identify children with ADHD with profiles at risk of personality disorders in order to adapt the care according to the child's needs.
The aim of this study is to have a better understanding of the relationship between self-controle difficulties (and more specifically the inhibition deficit in impulsivity), emotional regulation disorders such as alexithymia and craving.This study will be the first in France to specify the interactions between self-regulkation processes dysfunctions and emotional dysfunctions in craving.
This study will examine the effect of a real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) dyadic neurofeedback protocol with mothers and their adolescent daughters. Mothers will view a moving bar showing their daughters' brain activity on a computer screen while talking to their daughters.
The principal aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of the Unified Protocol (UP) for the treatment of the comorbid symptomatology of patients with Ultra High Risk (UHR) for psychosis. The secondary aims would be to assess the effects of the intervention with the UP on the subthreshold positive symptoms and the transition to psychosis rates at 3 months follow-up, insight, positive and negative emotions, emotion regulation skills, personality, quality of life, cognitive distortions, psychosocial functioning and the maintenance of the effects at the 3 months of follow-up. The study is a randomised controlled trial in which a group will receive inmediate UP plus standard intervention and the other one will be in a waiting list plus standard care at our Early Psychosis Program (PIPPEP). The evaluator will be blind to the group that owns every patients. The sample will be 42 patients with UHR for psychosis with comorbid emotional symptoms and are visited at the PIPPEP of the CSMA Ripollet (PSSJD). The assessment will be performed at baseline, at the end of treatment and at three months follow-up and will include: general psychopathology (SCID), anxiety and depression (BDI-II, BAI), positive and negative emotions (PANAS), emotional disregulation (DERS), personality (NEO-FFI), functionality (EEASL, MI), quality of life (QLI-sp), cognitive distortions (CBQ), insight (BCIS) and a scale of satisfaction created ad-hoc. At the end of each session with the UP we will assess depression and anxiety during the last week (ODSIS, OASIS). Treatment with the UP will consist in 15 group sessions of 8 patients, 120 minutes in addition to the treatment as usual.
This is a real-life pragmatic non-randomised study to explore the impact of mepolizumab on the emotional and affective outcomes of patients with severe eosinophilic asthma and their partners. It will be conducted in two quantitative stages (Phases 1 and 2) with an additional third qualitative component (Phase 3).
