Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to estimate the importance of neuroimaging in accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (aiTBS) for depression. Participants will receive aiTBS treatment, but they will not know if their treatment spot was found with neuroimaging or head measurements.
The goal of this 2-arm cluster randomized clinical trial is to test whether an evidence-based staff training and coaching model specifically designed as a response to legal system-involved youths' and frontline staff's mental health needs can improve the safety and suicide outcomes, mental health challenges, and wellness and facility climate for youth and staff in facilities assigned to the intervention condition. Staff in facilities assigned to the intervention are eligible to receive evidence-based programming in suicide detection and prevention (Shield of Care; SOC) and wellness skill-building (Skills for Life) through training and personalized coaching. Multiple training sessions will be offered to small groups of staff in-person in residential facilities and paired with personalized in-person and virtual coaching. Staff and youth in all facilities will be asked to complete periodic surveys assessing experiences in the facility, suicide and safety knowledge and risk, and their mental health and wellness. Researchers will compare outcomes of staff in youth in facilities assigned to the intervention compared to facilities in the training-as-usual condition.
This study is the first part of a larger project called "Virtual Reality (VR) as a facilitator for participation in society among persons with mental health/substance use disorders" in which aims to explore,develop and evaluate a VR-based paradigm that facilitates social participation and promotes social recovery of individuals with mental health and/or substance use disorders (MHD/SUD). The overall project comprises three work packages: an exploration study, a development study, and an evaluation study. This study will make up work package 1. The primary aim of this study (WP1) is to explore facilitators and barriers for participation in society among person with MHD/SUD, and to provide an understanding of mechanisms of social participation and social cohesion among persons with MHD/ SUD that may be affected by VR-based interventions. The investigators will derive a socio-emotional learning domain to facilitate key interpersonal and social processes among persons with MHD/SUD in VR-based interventions. To achieve the purpose of this study, the invistigators conduct 10 indepth interviews with service-user with MHD/SUD, 2 focus group interviews with 14 service-providers and an interview-survey with 100 service users. This gives the investigators the possibility to explore facilitators and barriers for social participation as experienced as by individuals with MHD/SUD and identify key interpersonal and social processes suitable to be addressed by tailored VR based interventions.
This study tests a psychosocial intervention called mental health self-directed care by assessing its impact on recovery, mental health status, rehabilitation outcomes, and service costs in the state of Florida.
This study tests a psychosocial intervention to improve immune health literacy and behaviors among adults with mental illnesses.
The novel multi-professional service delivery model "Primary Care Behavioural Health" (PCBH) has been suggested as an effective way to integrate behavioural health services into routine primary care to overcome the growing problems with psychosocial and mental health problems in primary care. In this multicenter mixed-methods pragmatic clinical trial, the implementation of PCBH in routine primary health care in a region in Sweden is investigated.
It has been shown in the literature that the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder influence the quality of life of patients, in particular through the cognitive alterations they can cause. Social cognition is also itself impacted. It refers to the perception, interpretation and processing of information relating to the social environment and relationships. It is affected by the symptomatology of PTSD both in terms of the response to emotional stimuli, the perception of self and others, and the quality of intimate relationships. These elements lead to reflection on the origin of these alterations, in particular the impact of PTSD on the patient's empathy capacity, defined as the recognition and understanding of the feelings and emotions of another individual. This parameter is also little studied in the literature, only a study dating from 2010 finds a correlation between PTSD and empathy. It is in this context that the realization of a new study studying the capacity for empathy of patients with PTSD in comparison with a control group with a larger and more representative population was envisaged. The primary outcome of this study is to analyze the post-traumatic stress disorder's repercussions on empathy by passing the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) on patients in comparison with a control group. The first hypothesis is a lower total score but a higher personal distress sub-score in the PTSD population. The secondary outcomes are to describe the cofactors that can influence empathy in association or not with post-traumatic stress disorder: sociodemographic data (age, sex, education level…), traumatic event type determined through the "Inventory of Traumatogenic Events", human intervention, duration and severity of the disorder (evaluated by the Impact of Events Scale) … The number of subjects required was calculated at 19 patients and 19 controls.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of the Family Talk Preventive Intervention compared to service as usual for families where a parent has mental illness. Participants are the parent with a mental illness receiving treatment from a secondary mental health service within the last two years from inclusion, their youngest child aged 7-17 years and the other parent of this child. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is Family Talk superior to service as usual regarding improving? - The child's level of functioning - The parent's sense of competence - Family functioning Participants will undergo interviews and fill out questionnaires. Half will be randomized to Family Talk and receive a manualized, family-based intervention of approximately 8 conversations with a trained, Family Talk interventionist. The other half will be randomized to service as usual which is normally two conversations with a professional in the mental health sector. The researchers will compare the two groups on child's level of functioning, parental sense of competence and family functioning.
This randomized pilot trial uses a waitlist control parallel design of a novel internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy program for older adults with elevated depressive symptoms. This study will enroll approximately 35 older adults per group throughout Michigan. The intervention will take approximately ten weeks to complete. Participants will have lower levels of depression after completing the intervention than before enrollment. Participants will be able to use the internet-based platform with minimal support.
Long-term sick leave is a challenge in Norway, and the healthcare and labor- and welfare services are often not coordinated in helping the sick-listed employees return to work. In this study, the investigators want to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention where an expert team provides advice for an individualized patient pathway based on information from a digital questionnaire and a video meeting with the sick-listed employee and the participant's general practitioner. The patient pathway should include both healthcare and labor- and welfare services measures. Sick-listed patients with musculoskeletal- and/or common mental disorders are invited to join the study. They will receive a digital questionnaire and be randomized to either treatment as usual or personalized advice from an expert team. The team will be put together based on the response from the individual's questionnaire. The investigators will evaluate the effect on return to work and the use of health care services 12 months after the intervention.
