Behavioural Experiments for Generalized Anxiety in Adolescents - Pilot Study

EC-II-Ado-P
Start date: February 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) is a chronic condition characterized by excessive and uncontrollable worry and anxiety. In adolescents, this condition can seriously impact their development, academic performance, and social relationships. In Canada, 3 to 4% of the population (between 0.9% and 2.7% among adolescents) suffers from GAD at any given time in their lives. These young individuals experience a reduced quality of life and are at risk for numerous medical conditions, as well as additional psychological issues. Research suggests that both pharmacological and psychological approaches are effective in treating GAD in the short term. However, psychological treatments appear to offer the greatest long-term benefits. There are a number of effective psychological treatments for GAD, most of which fall under cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) adapted for this age group. In the 1990s, a group of Canadian researchers developed a CBT protocol for GAD that included four components. Data from six clinical trials in adults suggest that one of the four components is particularly important for treatment success: exposing oneself to uncertainty rather than avoiding it in daily life. In other words, learning to tolerate and manage uncertainty seems to be the key to reducing worry and anxiety. Given this discovery, researchers developed a new treatment that exclusively targets intolerance to uncertainty and then adapted it for adolescents: Behavioural Experiments for Intolerance to Uncertainty in Adolescents (EC-IIA). The aim of the current pilot study is to test the effectiveness of EC-IIA in adolescent individuals. A total of 8 participants with a primary diagnosis of GAD will receive EC-IIA and will be evaluated at 4 different times ranging from pre-treatment to a 6-month follow-up. Conditions will be compared in terms of treatment efficacy and mechanisms. Researchers will also examine predictors of change during the 6 months following treatment. The proposed study will produce data on the effectiveness and mechanisms of a treatment for GAD that is less costly, less complex, and easier to disseminate than currently available treatments.

Understanding of Participation Trends Within Generalized Anxiety Disorder Patients Involved in Clinical Trials

Start date: March 2025
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Typically, certain demographic groups tend to participate more in medical research. However, there is insufficient research explaining the trial characteristics that influence the involvement of these specific demographics. This study aims to collect extensive data on the clinical trial experiences of individuals with generalized anxiety disorder. The goal is to identify the factors that hinder a patient's enrollment or completion of a trial. Additionally, the research will examine the data from various demographic perspectives to identify recurring patterns that could offer valuable insights for future generalized anxiety disorder patients.

NCT ID: NCT06218030 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Adjunctive Treatment With L-methylfolate for Treatment-Resistant Generalized Anxiety Disorder: a Pilot Study

Start date: April 2024
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this feasibility study is to determine the tolerability and safety of add on treatment with L-methylfolate in patients with treatment-resistant generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). The primary objective is to monitor for side effects and other risks associated with the treatment. Secondary objectives are to compare the severity of symptoms, serum levels of folate, vitamin B12, C-reactive protein and homocysteine before and after treatment. Participants will continue with their usual treatment for GAD and receive add on treatment with L-methylfolate 15 mg per day for 8 weeks. All participants will receive the same intervention.

NCT ID: NCT06134323 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Start date: December 5, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled study of patients with generalized anxiety disorder, who will be randomly assigned to either drug-combined transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) group or drug-combined sham-stimulation group for a period of 4 weeks of treatment.Scale assessments will be performed at baseline, week 1, week 2, week 3, and week 4 of treatment, and brain function monitoring as well as laboratory tests will be performed at baseline and at the end of treatment, respectively.The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of medication combined with tVNS and the possible mechanisms of tVNS in the treatment of anxiety.

NCT ID: NCT06132659 Not yet recruiting - Anxiety Clinical Trials

Neurofeedback Enhanced Cognitive Reappraisal Training

Start date: April 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study seeks to understand emotion regulation in those with anxiety using real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging neurofeedback, a tool that allows individuals to control brain activity. The goal of this project is to understand how receiving feedback about one's own brain activity relates to emotion regulation ability. This work will help the study team understand the brain areas involved in emotion regulation and could lay the groundwork to test if psychotherapy outcomes can be enhanced using neurofeedback. The study hypothesis include: - Participants receiving veritable-Neurofeedback (NF) will show a greater activation increase in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) compared to sham-NF - Participants receiving veritable-NF will show greater cognitive reappraisal (CR) ability compared to those receiving sham-NF - Prefrontal cortex activation will positively correlate with CR ability - The veritable-NF group will report decreased symptom severity and increased CR use compared to the sham-NF group - Increase in NF-induced brain activation will correlate with decreased symptom severity and increased CR use at follow-up

Sertraline vs. Placebo in the Treatment of Anxiety in Children and AdoLescents With NeurodevelopMental Disorders

CALM
Start date: October 2023
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

There are currently no approved medications for the treatment of anxiety in children and youth with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), both common and rare. Sertraline, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, has extensive evidence to support its use in children's and youth with anxiety but not within NDDs. More research is needed to confirm whether or not sertraline could help improve anxiety in children and youth with common and rare neurodevelopmental conditions. This is a pilot study, in which we plan to estimate the effect size of reduction in anxiety of sertraline vs. placebo. across rare and common neurodevelopmental disorders, and determine the best measure(s) to be used as a primary transdiagnostic outcome measure of anxiety, as well as diagnosis specific measures in future, larger-scale clinical trials of anxiety in NDDs.
