NCT ID: NCT04921280 Completed - Clinical trials for Somatic Symptom Disorder

Effectiveness of ICBT for Severe Health Anxiety in Clinical Psychiatry.

Start date: April 1, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of internet-based cognitive therapy for severe health anxiety within regular psychiatric care. A longitudinal cohort study will be conducted investigating 400 patients who have received ICBT for severe health anxiety between 2018-2020 in an outpatient psychiatric clinic providing Internet-based treatment. The primary outcome measure will be the Short Health Anxiety Inventory, SHAI, and a within-group design with repeated measures will be used for primary analysis. It is hypothesized that ICBT will be associated with a significant reduction in health anxiety as measured with SHAI, both after treatment and at six-month follow-up.

NCT ID: NCT04442360 Not yet recruiting - Depression Clinical Trials

The Impact of Information Sources on Mental Health During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Start date: June 22, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Study description: The present study seeks to investigate the impact of various sources of information on psychopathology, and specifically health anxiety, depression, and general anxiety, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study will investigate the divergent impact of various information sources on these psychopathological symptoms during the pandemic. Hypotheses and research questions: Hypothesis 1: Media consumption across all information sources will significantly be associated with depression and anxiety symptoms, with increased media consumption in general associated with higher levels of health anxiety, depression, and general anxiety. Hypothesis 2: Using social media and online interactive platforms to obtain news about the pandemic in comparison to using traditional media (e.g., TV, radio, and newspapers) will be associated with higher levels of health anxiety, depression, and general anxiety. Actively staying away from information will further significantly be associated with higher levels of higher levels of health anxiety, depression, and general anxiety. Research Question 1: Is there a differential effect among different information sources on health anxiety, depression and general anxiety? To what extend and how are different information sources related to symptoms of health anxiety, depression, and general anxiety. Exploratory: Additionally, we will exploratory investigate to what extent the amount of use of different information sources impact health anxiety, depression, and general anxiety. We will also examine effect sizes with part correlations, to investigate information sources with the most and least detrimental impact on health anxiety, depression, and general anxiety. Furthermore, we will report which information platforms participants reported as most useful with regards to information concerning how to best deal with the pandemic.

NCT ID: NCT04386291 Active, not recruiting - Generalized Anxiety Clinical Trials

Meditation and Kundalini Yoga for Heightened Anxiety Related to COVID-19

Start date: May 25, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This randomized clinical on-line study examines whether whether a daily practice of meditation or Kundalini Yoga with anxiety reduction training leads to a greater reduction in anxiety than anxiety reduction training alone.

NCT ID: NCT04287218 Active, not recruiting - Colorectal Cancer Clinical Trials

Reducing Fear of Cancer Recurrence in Danish Colorectal Cancer Survivors

Start date: May 10, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Cognitive therapy has been shown to reduce fear of cancer recurrence (FCR), mainly in breast cancer survivors. The accessibility of cognitive behavioural interventions could be further improved by Internet delivery, but self-guided interventions have shown limited efficacy. The aim of this study is to test the efficacy of a therapist guided internet-delivered intervention (TG-iConquerFear) vs. augmented treatment as usual (aTAU) in Danish colorectal cancer survivors.

NCT ID: NCT03789084 Enrolling by invitation - Clinical trials for Somatic Symptom Disorder

Hybrid Trial of Brief Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Health Anxiety in Primary Care

Start date: March 26, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study is a randomized controlled pilot trial using a hybrid type 1 effectiveness-implementation design to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of a brief cognitive-behavioral intervention delivered by medical assistants in a primary care setting. The trial compares clinical outcomes of participants assigned to the intervention condition to those of participants assigned to a usual care condition. The clinical outcome is change on a self-report measure of health anxiety. Assessments occur at baseline, four weeks, and 12 weeks post-treatment. The study will also measure engagement with the intervention and assess feasibility and acceptability of the intervention in terms of fidelity of trained study therapists and ratings of the intervention by participants. The usual care condition consists of a referral to a mental health provider. The intervention is comprised of four sessions of individually administered cognitive-behavioral therapy addressing health anxiety. Treatment focuses on building motivation for change, psychoeducation about health anxiety, cognitive restructuring, and situational and interoceptive exposure. The study will recruit from three primary care clinics within the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health system. The study will also assess facilitators and barriers to implementation using qualitative analyses of interview responses provided by the medical assistants delivering the intervention, primary care providers, and clinic administrators at the study sites.

NCT ID: NCT03188575 Active, not recruiting - Depression Clinical Trials

Effectiveness & Cost-effectiveness of Internet-delivered Interventions for Depression and Anxiety Disorders in IAPT

D-IAPT
Start date: June 15, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Depression and anxiety are common mental health problems. There are effective treatments for depression and anxiety and one of these is talking therapies using cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT). In recent years CBT has been transferred to online delivery methods and these interventions have proven successful for people being treated with symptoms of depression and anxiety. The current study will utilise a randomised controlled trial design, where the majority (n=240) of participants will be allocated to the immediate treatment (internet-delivered CBT for either depression or anxiety), and a smaller number (n=120) will be allocated to a waiting list. The waiting list group will receive treatment after an eight week wait. This design helps us to understand that any changes in symptoms in the treatment group will be likely due to the treatment they received compared to the waiting list. A sample size of 360 participants is proposed and has been adjusted to ameliorate against patient dropout. Follow-up and maintenance of any positive changes in symptoms is very important in CBT for depression and anxiety, simply because some people can have a relapse of symptoms. We will therefore follow-up the treatment group for 3, 6, 9 and 12 months to assess maintenance of positive gains from treatment. The study also seeks to investigate the cost effectiveness of the treatments.

NCT ID: NCT03019705 Not yet recruiting - Health Anxiety Clinical Trials

An Examination of the Effects of Health-related Internet Use in Individuals With Pathological Health Anxiety Using Ambulatory Assessment

Start date: n/a
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The purpose of the current explorative study is to examine the effects of health-related internet use in individuals with pathological health anxiety using ambulatory assessment. In a naturalistic setting participants answer over a seven-day period questionnaires about their health-related internet use and its effects on affect, health anxiety and symptom severity in their usual daily lives.
