NCT ID: NCT05041660 Completed - Binge Eating Clinical Trials

Using Virtual Reality and Sensor Technology to Enhance Outcomes From Treatment for Binge Eating

Start date: October 14, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study evaluates whether virtual-reality-based inhibitory control trainings are more effective than computerized trainings in reducing binge eating symptomatology. These trainings are used to improve people's ability to resist their impulses towards highly palatable foods (such as chips or cookies). These trainings also offer promise as a companion to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, an often used and relatively effective therapeutic methodology.

NCT ID: NCT04760054 Terminated - Cognitive Change Clinical Trials

Effects of a Complex, Partnered Martial Arts-based Intervention on Cognitive Function

HUBOD
Start date: March 24, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The investigators' study is designed to test whether brief exposure to a martial arts-based intervention (a coordinative, partnered training exercise known as "Hubod"), can improve cognitive function to a greater degree than aerobic exercise of a similar intensity.

NCT ID: NCT03532113 Completed - Clinical trials for Inhibition (Psychology)

Attentional Control Training in Older Adults: Efficacy, Transfer and Brain Substrates

Start date: October 19, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Formal education and cognitively stimulating hobbies and profession have a protective effect against age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease. It is therefore possible that providing cognitively stimulating interventions at a later age increases neuroplasticity and brain resilience. Processes of updating and inhibition are both impaired by aging. Several studies have shown that updating can be improved but very few studies targeted inhibition in spite of the fact that it is impaired in older adults. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of cognitive interventions that will target either of these two components. The investigators will examine the effect on behavior, brain measures and transfer tasks. The investigators will also assess whether the efficacy varies as a function of personal variables such as prior cognitive profile, reserve proxies, genetic polymorphisms and brain markers.

NCT ID: NCT03441737 Withdrawn - Smoking Cessation Clinical Trials

Aerobic Exercise and Inhibitory Control

AMIAEIC
Start date: April 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Although more than half of Canadian smokers in 2015 attempted to quit, with one-third attempting more than once, successful smoking cessation (quitting) remains a challenge. Relapse (return to smoking) has been attributed to failures in inhibitory control. Inhibitory control is the ability to suppress actions. Previous studies have identified that aerobic exercise improves inhibitory control and reduces the urge to smoke. This study will examine whether an acute bout of moderate intensity aerobic exercise (i.e. brisk walk on a treadmill) will improve inhibitory control, increase time to first cigarette smoked, and reduce urges to smoke during a brief period of abstinence. Inhibitory control will be assessed using the antisaccade task, which requires the participant to shift their gaze away from a visual target presented to them. Phase I will include assessments of smoking behaviours, physical activity levels, urges to smoke, and inhibitory control. Phase II will consist of a 12-hour smoking abstinence period conducted at home, followed by reassessment of urges to smoke and inhibitory control. Participants will then be randomized to either 20 minutes of aerobic exercise or sitting. Following the intervention, reassessment of urges to smoke, inhibitory control, and time to first cigarette smoked will be conducted.

NCT ID: NCT02624206 Completed - Feeding Behavior Clinical Trials

Specificity of Flavor-Nutrient Learning: An fMRI Experiment

Start date: August 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is an etiology study designed to examine the how people's brains and behaviors respond to regularly consuming a beverage. Participants are assessed at 2 behavioral assessments (Wave 1 and Wave 2), 2 scans (at the BRIC), and at 9 'intervention' assessments (5-10mins) different time periods throughout the study. At their first assessment (W1) they are randomized into one of two juices.

NCT ID: NCT02484521 Completed - Schizophrenia Clinical Trials

Prepulse Inhibition (PPI) of Startle Reflex in Schizophrenia Patients Related to Type of Treatment and Illness Duration

Start date: June 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

PPI is an objective measure to assess pre-attentive processes that have already been tested before in the case of schizophrenia. The investigators aim to assess through this instrument two main characteristics, that the investigators assume are of relevance which are the duration of illness and the type of pharmaceutical treatment, patients receive. The investigators believe these two main characteristics are critical to the ability of the patients in improvement of their PPI response to startle reflex.
