Filter by:A new stress-related diagnosis, Exhaustion disorder (ED), was introduced in the Swedish version of ICD-10 in 2005 and has since then increased rapidly. The condition is long-lasting and debilitating, characterized by considerable and persistent fatigue, insomnia, and impaired cognitive function. The diagnosis is still relatively unexplored and there is no consistent knowledge of, among other things, which interventions that work. Research indicates that physical activity can have positive effects on depression, anxiety, and stress. However, there is little knowledge today about the relationship between the dose of physical activity and stress-related illness. It is also not clear how physical activity can be used in the treatment of stress-related illness. The purpose of this project is to gain increased knowledge about the immediate physiological and psychological effects of physical activity for people with diagnosed ED. The project will investigate the psychological and physiological effects of two different intensities of physical activity in people with ED compared to healthy controls. The information from the study also aims to provide a basis for a second part of the project where treatment including physical activity is carried out with people with ED, in a randomized controlled design.
This is a non-randomized pilot study to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of a transdiagnostic psychological intervention for primary care patients in Region Stockholm, Sweden, who suffer from persistent and disabling fatigue.
This cohort study implements patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) for patients with bodily stress syndrome in a clinic for functional disorders.
Stress-related mental disorders are today the leading cause of long-term sick leave in Sweden, and a large part of this increase is due to Clinical burnout, in Sweden called "Exhaustion disorder" (ED). Even though clinical guidelines recommend multi-professional rehabilitation (MPR) for ED, few studies have evaluated the effects of these treatment programs in clinical practice. This large-scale open clinical trial investigates whether MPR for ED seems to alleviate symptoms of ED and if it results in return-to-work.
This feasibility study develops methods for larger-scale research, evaluating the acceptability and perceived impact of a group acupuncture and acupressure intervention, as well as suitability of a self-report instrument. During their weekly training program, eleven OB residents at NYU Lutheran Medical Center will receive three sessions of auricular acupuncture therapy. (This resident population was previously anonymously surveyed and all expressed interest in participating in such a study). The Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL) will be administered at 6 time points. A brief survey will also be given to assess participants' acceptance of the intervention as well as applicability of the ProQOL instrument. Additional feasibility-related outcomes include protocol compliance/withdrawals, adverse events, and time taken to complete intervention and surveys.
Many patients with exhaustion disorders continue to have significant difficulties with attention and memory function which reduce their work ability. This randomized study investigates whether the addition of a 12-week period of specific cognitive training or physical fitness training could further enhance cognitive function in patients with exhaustion disorder participating in a multimodal rehabilitation program.
