Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effectiveness and safety of the VR FLOAT application as a tool to reduce negative thoughts and feelings and anxiety symptoms in students with high levels of stress and anxiety. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Will subjects with high levels of anxiety who will use the FLOAT application experience a more significant relief in feelings of anxiety compared to subjects in the control group? 2. Will subjects who are used to using technology find greater comfort in using VR compared to subjects who are not used to it? 3. What is the degree of satisfaction with the use of VR and are there any reports of side effects?Participants will [describe the main tasks participants will be asked to do, treatments they'll be given and use bullets Researchers will compare control group to see The comparison between using FLOAT as a regulation strategy after psychoeducation on emotional regulation and cognitive-behavioral use of a regulation strategy after the same psychoeducation
Over the past few years, a growing number of campaigns from around the world, including Canada, are highlighting the positive impact of spending time in nature on well-¬being. Indeed, mounting evidence suggests that spending time with nature is associated with a myriad of affective and cognitive benefits. Surprisingly few studies to date have tested the assumption that walking in nature versus in urban settings could alleviate stress and depressive symptoms in clinically depressed adults. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of walking in nature versus in urban settings to improve depression related symptoms and reduce stress. The trial initially included 2 primary outcomes: patients stress levels (salivary cortisol) and depression-related symptoms (eg, affect, rumination, executive functioning). However, due to hygienic concerns in light of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the collection of saliva samples (and in turn, the measurement of stress levels via salivary cortisol) was removed from the study's procedure. The main outcome was changed to effects on positive and negative affect.
This randomized controlled trial will compare the effectiveness and acceptability of a computerized treatment targeting anxiety sensitivity compared to an active control: Physical Health Education Treatment (PHET) to determine efficacy among military personnel when delivered over the Internet. Purpose: To investigate the efficacy and acceptability of a computerized stress sensitivity treatment delivered online among a population of U.S. military personnel.
Strong scientific understanding of how emissions from diesel engines impact the lungs could improve policies and regulations protecting workers exposed to diesel exhaust. Accordingly, we are recruiting healthy volunteers who are non-smokers to participate in our study. Volunteers sit in a room for four hours and breathe either clean filtered air or air that contains pollution at various concentrations similar to occupational settings such as bus and ferry terminals where diesel engines are used. A respirologist assesses the volunteer's lung health and clinical samples are taken. We are equipped with advanced molecular biology tools to measure different molecules and compare samples from our volunteer subjects following exposure to clean air or diesel exhaust. Our research aim is to find a simple, clinically relevant strategy that can be used to measure the impact of diesel exhaust on workers' lung health. This knowledge will empower regulators, companies, and ultimately workers to better manage their health risks. Our research aims to provide specific data to help regulators to make informed decisions about the risks of diesel exhaust exposure.
