Filter by:This study aims to investigate the neural correlates (structural changes, functional connectivity, and structural connectivity of brain structures in prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia) of impulsivity by measuring structures and the blood-oxygen-level-dependent signal of brain in response to impulsive tasks and task-free using functional Magnetic Resonance Image method among healthy controls, patient with prodromal PD (iRBD), and patients with PD.
This trial aims to Study the efficacy of DBT skills for impulsive aggression and executive dysfunctions in drug naïve children who are presented with impulsive aggression and ADHD and attending Child and adolescent clinic at Alexandria university hospitals using weekly group therapy for 8 month and testing pre and posttreatment biomarkers of aggression.
Suicide has become a major public health problem among young people around the world. This study will examine the effects of higher secondary school-based suicide prevention (HSSSP) program on youth suicidal thoughts and impulsive behavior (STIB). Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the effects of didactic approach for youth STIB on the HSSSP program. This study is designed to address this issue at the secondary school level. Therefore, this research is divided into two studies. In the first study, our goal was to arrange a Baseline assessment for the screening process of adolescents at risk of suicide. while in second study we aim to implement a didactic approach based on religious teachings and culture milieu and examine its effects as an evidence based suicide prevention program.
Impaired executive function, such as impaired decision making and impulsivity, has been identified as an important contributor to the transition from suicidal ideation to suicide attempt. To address the epidemic of Veteran suicide in the United States, this study tests the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of a five day transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) augmented executive functioning training intervention. This intervention is delivered to high suicide risk inpatients. The ultimate goal is to reduce future suicide events (ideation, attempts, deaths) and improve quality of life (e.g. social relationships, health resource utilization).
The purpose of this study is to investigate if transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can increase the effectiveness of cognitive training to reduce impulsivity in individuals with obesity, and to evaluate weight change with these individuals. The long-term goal of this research is to develop new treatment approaches for individuals with obesity.
Introduction: Impulsivity is present in a range of mental disorders and has been associated with suicide. Traditional measures of impulsivity have certain limitations, such as the time required for administration or the lack of ecological validity. Virtual Reality (VR) may overcome these issues. This study aims to validate the VR assessment tool "Spheres & Shield Maze Task" and speech analysis by comparing them with traditional measures. The hypothesis is that these innovative tools will be reliable and acceptable by patients, potentially improving the simultaneous assessment of impulsivity, decision-making, and jumping to conclusions. Methods and analysis: The sample consisted of adults divided into three groups: psychiatric outpatients with a history of suicidal thoughts and/or behaviors, psychiatric outpatients without such a history, and healthy volunteers. The sample size required was estimated at 300 participants (100 per group). Participants will complete the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale 11; the Urgency, Premeditation, Perseverance, Sensation Seeking, Positive Urgency, Impulsive Behavior Scale; Iowa Gambling Task; Continuous Performance Test; Stop signal Task, and Go/no-go task, three questions of emotional affect, the Spheres & Shield Maze Task and two satisfaction surveys. During these tasks, participant speech will be recorded. External and internal consistency of the VR environment will be calculated. The association between VR-assessed impulsivity and history of suicidal thoughts and/or behavior, and the association between speech and impulsivity and decision-manking will also be explored. Ethics and dissemination: This study will result in a series of manuscripts that will be submitted to peer-reviewed journals for publication. It is hoped that this VR assessment tool combined with speech analysis can be used regularly in research and/or clinical settings in the near future.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of oral naltrexone tablets in pediatric and adolescent eating disorders, in particular anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, as compared to placebo. Study participants will be patients in a partial hospitalization program or intensive outpatient program for eating disorder.
The goal of this study is to examine the effect of four sessions of theta burst stimulation (TBS) versus sham TMS on attentional bias for smoking and opioid cues versus neutral stimuli in a population of patients with tobacco use disorder (TUD) with comorbid opioid use disorder (OUD) that is stable and on treatment with buprenorphine. The investigators will also examine the effect of TBS on craving for cigarettes as well as opioids. Participants will perform a stress induction procedure that mirrors an optimum combination of cues that trigger tonic craving in their environment while exposed to stress. All four sessions of TBS/sham TMS will be performed on the same day, with each session lasting for approximately 10 minutes and separated by 50 minute intervals.
During the COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) pandemic, public health departments have issued guidelines to limit viral transmission. In this environment, people will feel urges to engage in activities that violate these guidelines, but research on guideline adherence has been reliant on surveys asking people to self-report their typical behaviour, which may fail to capture these urges as they unfold. Guideline adherence could be improved through behaviour change interventions, but considering the wide range of behaviours that COVID-19 guidelines prescribe, there are few methods that allow observing changes of aggregate guideline adherence in the 'wild'. In order to administer interventions and to obtain contemporaneous data on a wide range of behaviours, the researchers use ecological momentary assessment. In this preregistered parallel randomised trial, 95 participants aged 18-65 from the United Kingdom were assigned to three conditions using blinded block randomisation, and engage in episodic future thinking (n = 33), compassion exercises (n = 31), or a sham procedure (n = 31) and report regularly on the intensity of their occurrent urges (min. 1, max. 10) and their ability to control them. The researchers investigate whether state impulsivity and vaccine attitudes predict guideline adherence, while assessing through which mechanism these predictors affect behaviour.
There is increasing evidence of the effects of the time-restricted diet model based on the daily intake of energy within a period of 8-12 hours on body weight control and metabolic parameters. There is no study on the potential effects of this nutritional model, which is thought to be an effective strategy in struggling with metabolic syndrome, on individuals' eating behavior and impulsivity levels. This study, which aims to evaluate the effects of time- restricted diet strategy on food intake, eating attitude and behavior and impulsivity level in adults, is a mixed method, randomized controlled intervention study. Thirty adult individuals between the ages of 18-65 will be included in this study, which will be carried out between 31.05.2021-31.12.2021 in Istinye University. Participants will be divided into 2 groups: the intervention group (n = 15) will apply a time-restricted nutrition model for 4 weeks, and no intervention will be applied to the control group (n = 15). Participants' food intake before and after the intervention period will be evaluated with a 3-day food intake record, their eating attitudes will be evaluated with the Eating Attitude Test (EAT-26), their impulsivity levels will be evaluated with the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale-Short Form (BIS-11-SF) and Go / NoGo test, and their eating behaviors will be evaluated with the Three Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ-R21). At the end of the research, all individuals in the intervention group will be interviewed in depth and their experiences regarding the process will be recorded. IBM SPSS 22 program will be used in the analysis of all quantitative data, and the MAXQDA-12 program will be used in the analysis of qualitative data. The data obtained from this research will clear up the applicability of the time- restricted diet model and its effects on eating behaviors of adults.
