Filter by:The present study is a single-group open-label investigation of the potential efficacy of Vortioxetine for treatment of 30 adult volunteers with Hoarding Disorder (HD) (flexible-dose study, with a target dose range 5-25mg). The proposed study will be the first Vortioxetine study in HD, and conducted at the Anxiety Treatment and Research Clinic (ATRC) Canada's largest academic anxiety clinic, a regional referral center for individuals with HD. The study requires a Letter of No Objection from Health Canada and the study will be approved by Hamilton Integrated Research Ethics Board (HiREB).
This study explores whether a facilitated peer support group called Buried in Treasures (BIT) and a virtual reality decluttering practice can help individuals with clutter challenges.
"Hoarding "is a common behavior among Holocaust survivors and is related to the traumatic events they have experienced, and we assume that storage behavior and eating disorders are related to future generations of Holocaust survivors.
The present study will test a potential new treatment strategy, imaginal exposure, for hoarding disorder. Although cognitive behavioral therapy often reduces hoarding, some people do not want to start, or cannot handle, that option. To help such individuals, the present study will provide imaginal exposure therapy to people with hoarding disorder, wherein they imagine discarding possessions as a way of becoming acclimated to the idea. We predict that imaginal exposure will improve hoarding symptoms as well as two psychological experiences linked to the condition: intolerance of uncertainty and emotional avoidance.
The purpose of this study is to understand the neural mechanisms of decision making in hoarding disorder.
The proposed study aims to investigate the efficacy of adding in-home decluttering practice to Buried in Treasures Workshop (BIT) facilitated group treatment for hoarding disorder.
The primary aim is to develop, and test the feasibility and efficacy of, a manual based, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) treatment for Hoarding Disorder (HD) delivered in a group format combined with an Internet support system. The investigators' secondary aim is to investigate the neurocognitive profile of the participants before and after treatment in order to explore if the treatment might have an impact on neurocognitive functioning and if certain neurocognitive profiles predict outcome. For the primary aim, the investigators hypothesize that the treatment will be acceptable to participants and decrease symptoms of hoarding. Regarding the secondary aim, the investigators hypothesize that deficiencies in executive functioning, as measured with a neurocognitive battery, will reduce upon completion of treatment and that baseline executive function will be associated with treatment outcome.
This project will utilize a novel behavioral intervention for hoarding disorder that takes into account age and neurocognitive factors. The goal of this project is to gain knowledge on how treatment components may or may not work for Veterans with hoarding disorder. Further, the investigators hope to increase understanding of functional and long term outcomes in response to hoarding treatment.
Patients participate in Buried in Treasures Workshop (BIT) that has been shown to improve symptoms of hoarding disorder. To target levels of clutter, the investigators are testing an intervention to add in-home decluttering practice to the BIT workshop.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a well-established case management model called Critical Time Intervention (CTI) can help individuals with hoarding disorder who are concerned about the risk of eviction. Each individual with hoarding disorder will be assigned to work with a CTI Specialist for 9 months, who will provide referrals for mental health treatment, legal consultations, and registration for entitlements. All participants will be offered a facilitated group intervention called the Buried in Treasures Workshop. The CTI Specialist will also facilitate reconnecting the individual with supportive family/friends and will monitor and support the de-cluttering of the patient's home.
