Study type: Interventional

This study will examine the feasibility of virtual Tai Chi Easy training for registered nurses and see if participation results in changes in symptoms of transition shock, healthcare-related psychological traumatic stress, burnout, somatic symptoms, and intention to quit. Participants will do virtual Tai Chi Easy for 2 hours per week and practice on their own for 40 minutes per week. The study will last six weeks. Surveys will be completed in REDCap before, during, and after the intervention.

NCT ID: NCT06301360 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Somatic Symptom Disorder

Internet Based Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy for Functional Somatic Disorder With and Without Therapist Support

Start date: December 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Functional somatic syndromes (e.g. irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia) and medically unexplained symptoms (e.g. chronic primary pain) are very common in primary care. These patients make 14 times more doctor visits than the general population, but describe themselves as less satisfied with the care they receive. Although Region Stockholm in Sweden recently developed care flows based on 'step up' care for the most common patient groups in primary care, patients with functional or medically unexplained symptoms are not mentioned. Short-term psychodynamic therapies such as Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET) and Intensive Short Term Psychodynamic Therapy (ISTDP) have recently been evaluated in three systematic reviews and show good results for patients with medically unexplained symptoms. Short-term psychodynamic therapy considers that good treatment outcomes for patients with functional somatic syndromes can be achieved by increasing awareness of emotions and teaching patients to better experience, express and regulate emotions. In several randomized studies, short-term psychodynamic therapy has shown good effects even compared to other treatments, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). The overall purpose of this research project is to to evaluate psychodynamic emotion-focused interventions (EAET and ISTDP) for patients with medically unexplained symptoms/functional somatic symptoms (MUS/FSD). The project includes several studies that will clarify effects and contribute to information on how care flows in primary care for the patient group can be created. The research question for this specific study is: Is internet-based Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (I-EAET) with therapist more effective than without therapist support for patients with FSD?

NCT ID: NCT06221722 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Constipation - Functional

Predicting Treatment Outcomes in Refractory Constipation Through Brain Connectivity Evaluation

Start date: November 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The goal of this observational study is to identify the characteristics of brain functional connectivity in refractory constipation and fluoxetine-sensitive patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Investigating the alterations in brain functional connectivity in patients with refractory constipation and fluoxetine-sensitive patients - Assessing the predictive value of brain functional connectivity regarding the efficacy of fluoxetine and standard protocol treatments for constipation. Participants will receive: - Standard physiological and psychological assessments of constipation - BOLD-fMRI tests - Standard protocol and fluoxetine treatment If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare: Refractory group/Fluoxetine sensitive group to see the specific brain alterations.

NCT ID: NCT05946512 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Post COVID-19 Condition

MR-spectroscopy in Post-covid Condition Prior to and Following a Yoga Breathing Intervention

SpeCY
Start date: July 24, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

From a clinical perspective, we find that many patients with Post COVID condition suffer from severe and debilitating shortness of breath, while routine pulmonary investigations fail to find the cause of the problems experienced. If dyspnea is associated with palpitations, dizziness or anxiety, patients are commonly diagnosed with "dysfunctional breathing". From a psychosomatic perspective, the symptom of dysfunctional breathing can be classified as a "functional symptom" under the umbrella term of somatic symptom disorder. Therefore, Yoga interventions with special emphasis on breath-guided relaxation are a promising approach. We aim to investigate the psycho-somatic and somato-psychic pathophysiology on a morphological, psychological, functional and biological basis underlying the symptom of dysfunctional breathing. Furthermore, we plan to investigate the mechanism of Yoga intervention on the mental and somatic symptom burden of participants with Post COVID condition. Then, we aim to compare the impact of Yoga on other groups - healthy individuals, patients with chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD), as well as those with somatic symptom disorder. As a control intervention to Yoga guided breathing exercises a social contact group will be used.

NCT ID: NCT05907538 Recruiting - Fibromyalgia Clinical Trials

Interoception in Patients With Medically Unexplained Symptoms

Start date: July 25, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The goal of this observational study is to learn about interoception in patients with stress related syndromes (overstrain, burnout; SRS) and functional disorder (fibromyalgia/ chronic fatigue syndrome; FD). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is there a significant difference in interoception between patients with SRS and healthy controls? - Is there a significant difference in interoception between patients with FD and healthy controls? - Is there a significant difference in interoception between patients with SRS and FD? The participants will perform the respiratory occlusion discrimination task and have to fill out some questionnaires. Researchers will compare healthy controls to see if there is a significant difference.

NCT ID: NCT05792930 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Somatic Symptom Disorder

Developing an Integrated Psychotherapy With Cognitive-behavioral Therapy and Biofeedback Therapy for Somatic Symptom Disorder

Start date: July 11, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This research program is aimed to develop a integrative psychotherapy (including CBT and biofeedback therapy) and to examine its efficacy on treatment of somatic symptom disorder. The study design is a randomized controlled trial with waiting list control. Scores of Patient Health Questionniare-15 and Health Anxiety Questionnaire are the primary endpoints.

NCT ID: NCT05666921 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Somatic Symptom Disorder

Alexithymia and Attachment Style in Patients With Somatic Symptoms

Start date: June 15, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

To evaluate whether emotional awareness, attachment style and the ability to abstract and symbolize (IQ) influence the appearance of somatic symptoms. Hypothesis: the investigators expect the presence of somatic symptoms linked to the lower ability of emotional awareness, to lower ability to abstract and symbolize and to an insecure attachment style.

NCT ID: NCT05620420 Recruiting - Insomnia Clinical Trials

A Multicenter Cross-sectional Study on Mental Health of Patients With Multiple Myeloma

Start date: November 15, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Multiple myeloma patients with normal ability of communication and understanding will be enrolled. DT, GAD-7, PHQ-15 and PSQI scales are designed to assess the mental health status of the patients. Demographic and disease data of patients will be collected as well. The main aim is to explore the factors affecting the mental health of myeloma patients.

NCT ID: NCT05573919 Recruiting - Airway Obstruction Clinical Trials

VivAer: A Correlation Between Symptom Scores and Objective Findings

Start date: October 7, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a prospective, single-center study. This study seeks to determine the objective improvement in nasal airflow in patients after undergoing the VivAer procedure, which involves the use of a stylus to deliver controlled and targeted low energy radiofrequency heating (heating by applying high-frequency radio waves) to the nasal sidewall to gently reshape the tissues. Patients who experience refractory, or medically unexplained, nasal obstruction often have symptoms that are not alleviated or resolved by standard non-surgical treatment options. VivAer, a recently developed, FDA-approved procedure, is one of the standard surgical treatments for nasal obstruction. Unlike most of the other established surgical treatments for nasal obstruction, however, VivAer is a minimally-invasive procedure, and it is an outpatient intervention that can be performed under local anesthetic. Eligible patients who are enrolled in the study will undergo the VivAer procedure, and will return to the clinic for three in-office follow-up visits at 4, 12, and 24 weeks after the procedure.
