NCT ID: NCT06449521 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Mental Health Disorder

BECOME COmbined Intervention for MH & NCD Delivered by Community Health Workers in Nepal

BECOME
Start date: July 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Common mental health disorders (CMDs) and noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) pose significant public health challenges, especially in resource-limited settings like Nepal. The coexistence of CMDs and NCDs is prevalent, tied together by shared behavioral risk factors including stress, isolation, tobacco use, low physical activity, poor diet, and treatment non-adherence. Addressing these risk factors through behavioral interventions has the potential to positively impact both CMDs and NCDs. While the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends three behavioral interventions-evidence-based stress reduction (EBSR) for stress and anxiety, behavioral activation (BA) for depression, and motivational interviewing (MI) for healthy behaviors-availability remains scarce in low-resource settings. This research proposes a hybrid implementation-effectiveness study of the BEhavioral Community-based COmbined Intervention for MEntal Health and Noncommunicable Diseases (BECOME) in Nepal. BECOME, delivered by community health workers (CHWs), integrates EBSR, BA, and MI to improve mental health and address NCDs. The study employs a stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial, with 20 clusters randomly assigned to five steps, starting in the control condition. Transitioning every three months, clusters gradually adopt the intervention, minimizing logistical challenges during implementation. The study targets 600 patient participants (age 40 years and above with at least one CMD and NCD) from Bardibas and Chandragiri municipalities, involving 20 CHWs, five primary care providers (PCPs), and six health system leaders. CHWs identify potential participants, with research staff assessing eligibility, obtaining informed consent, and conducting baseline assessments using a digital REDCap tool. CHWs undergo BECOME intervention training, delivering it to consenting patient participants (30 per CHW). Quantitative data collected quarterly over 12 months will measure primary outcomes for CMDs and NCDs. Additionally, qualitative components, following the Reach Effectiveness-Adoption Implementation and Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework, include focus group discussions (FGDs) with CHWs and Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) with patient participants, PCPs, and health system leaders to assess implementation mechanisms, outcomes, and clinical impact. The study, if successful, aims to furnish evidence and a model for implementing behavioral interventions addressing CMDs and NCDs.

NCT ID: NCT06410794 Active, not recruiting - Depression Clinical Trials

Virtual Reality Training in Occupational Rehabilitation

Start date: January 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Work-related attention bias modification training and virtual reality training in occupational rehabilitation is a multisite pilot study. The quantitative aim of this pilot study is to compared virtual reality (VR) training and attention bias modication (ABM) training to investigate whether the different training forms result in different results measured with work-related outcomes and cognitive outcomes. The qualitative aim of this pilot study is to investigate the patients' experiences with the usage of VR. Three rehabilitation insitutions will be recruiting patients participating in occupational rehabilitation, and the study will compare the outcomes of work-related interventions with and without the addition of ABM or VR training. The study seeks to determine if these interventions can improve work ability, reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, and change attentional bias from negative to positive stimuli.

NCT ID: NCT06382181 Completed - Loneliness Clinical Trials

A Multimodal Intervention for Community-dwelling Individuals With Unwanted Loneliness

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

The absence of social relationships negatively affects physical, psychological, and social health. In other words, it alters people's quality of life and makes active aging difficult. The investigators have designed a study to reduce unwanted loneliness in people over 65 living in the community through multiple interventions (music therapy, health education, and physical exercise).

NCT ID: NCT06311084 Completed - Clinical trials for Mental Health Disorder

IMAGINATOR 2.0: Co-design and Early Evaluation of a Novel Blended Digital Intervention Targeting Self-harm in Young People

IMAG2
Start date: November 25, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aims to investigate acceptability and feasibility of a new version of the Imaginator intervention, Imaginator 2.0, targeting self-harm behaviour in young people aged 12-25 under mental health services in the UK. Following an initial proof-of-concept study of Imaginator (Di Simplicio et al., 2020), we co-designed a new version of the app that supports consolidation and practice of the techniques learnt in therapy, and adapted the protocol to be extended to younger adolescents. Imaginator 2.0 uses 'functional imagery training', training in individuals to develop and use functional (that is, helpful) mental images to support an alternative behaviour instead of self-harm. Mental imagery is the process of picturing something in the mind, and mental images have strong emotional and motivational characteristics. Functional Imagery Training (FIT) within Imaginator helps young people imagine adaptive behaviours as an alternative to self-harm when dealing with distressing emotions.

NCT ID: NCT06233747 Recruiting - Suicidal Ideation Clinical Trials

Improving Care, Accelerating Recovery and Education

I-CARE
Start date: February 29, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the I-CARE program in children who are in a medical hospital awaiting inpatient mental health treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Can the I-CARE program be used at the medical hospitals and do the patients and hospital staff like the program? - Does the I-CARE program lower patients' emotional distress, thoughts about suicide or suicide attempts? Patients will complete as many of the 7 I-CARE videos as possible during their stay at the medical hospital and fill out online surveys. There are workbook activities that go with each I-CARE video. A hospital staff member will help the patient do the videos and workbook activities.

NCT ID: NCT06225531 Recruiting - Suicidal Ideation Clinical Trials

An Autobiographical Memory-Based Intervention for Suicidality

Start date: February 7, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study involves a short therapy intervention for people who are experiencing thoughts of suicide. The intervention will focus upon different memories from the person's life. These memories will vary in the emotions they evoke - some memories will be associated with neutral emotions, whereas others will bring up positive emotions. The intervention will have a particular focus upon memories of times when the participants have moved away from thinking about suicide, with the aim of reinforcing memories of what helped them to reconnect with life. The intervention will also introduce relaxation techniques, in addition to involving a safety planning component. The project aims to consider whether this intervention is acceptable and feasible for this population.

NCT ID: NCT06222528 Recruiting - Depression Clinical Trials

Reducing Stigma and Increasing Treatment Seeking Intentions Among Adolescents

Start date: May 31, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Depression is a leading cause of illness and disability in teenagers. Longer duration of untreated depression (DUD) is associated with greater severity, poorer outcome, and cognitive impairment. Stigma toward people with depression has been identified as a barrier to seeking help; therefore, reducing stigma toward young people at depressive risk could enhance their receptivity to seeking treatment. Social contact is a form of interpersonal contact with members of the stigmatized group and the most effective type of intervention for improvement in stigma-related knowledge and attitudes. In a prior study, the investigators developed short video interventions to reduce stigma and increase treatment seeking among adolescents with depression. The videos feature adolescent protagonists varied by race/ethncitiy and gender (Black girl, Black boy, White girl, White boy, Hispanic girl, Hispanic boy, nonbinary or transgender adolescent) who will share their experiences with depression, challenges, and recovery process. The investigators would like to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test the efficacy of these tailored videos as compared to a video control condition (which provides information about depression and how to seek help but does not include a personal story) on reducing self-stigma and increasing help-seeking intentions and behavior at baseline, post, 2 week follow-up, and 4 week follow-up among adolescents ages 14-18 recruited via Cloudresearch. The videos will be shown again at 2 week follow-up.

NCT ID: NCT06213194 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Mental Health Disorder

The Effects of Executive Functions and Social Cognition on Mental Health

Start date: May 20, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The objective of this study is to analyze the effects of executive functions (EFs) and social-cognitive abilities on the associations between autistic traits and mental health indicators (depression, anxiety, and stress). Moreover, the study will produce online training modules for executive functions and social cognition, aimed at reducing the likelihood of adverse mental health outcomes in individuals with and without elevated autistic traits. Therefore, four main hypotheses will be addressed: 1. Revealing the mediating role of executive functions (cognitive flexibility, inhibitory control, and working memory) will help predict the association between autistic traits and mental health symptoms (anxiety, depression, and stress). 2. Revealing the mediating role of social cognitive skills (cognitive empathy and affective empathy) will help predict the association between autistic traits and mental health symptoms (anxiety, depression, and stress). 3. Online training in executive functions and social cognitive skills will help develop executive functions (working memory, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility) and social cognitive skills (cognitive empathy and affective empathy) in the current sample. 4. Online training in executive functions and social cognitive skills will promote mental health by reducing distress, depression, and anxiety symptoms in the current sample. Participants will be between the ages of 18-35 because previous findings indicate that the age of onset of various mental health problems is between the ages of 17 and 35. Participants will be randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. Using a longitudinal design including pre-test, post-test, and follow-up conditions to test the effectiveness of combined EFs and social cognition online training for mental health symptoms.

NCT ID: NCT06172075 Recruiting - Depression Clinical Trials

Reducing Depression Self-stigma and Increasing Treatment Seeking Intentions Among Youth

Start date: April 15, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Young people with depression, especially those of underserved minority groups, avoid treatment due to stigma and discrimination. Social contact is a form of interpersonal contact with members of the stigmatized group and the most effective type of intervention for improvement in stigma-related knowledge and attitudes. In a prior study, the investigators developed short video interventions to reduce stigma and increase treatment seeking among people with depression. The videos vary by protagonist race/ethnicity (Latinx, non-Latinx Black, non-Latinx White) who share their experiences with depression, challenges, and recovery process. The investigators would like to test the efficacy of these videos using Prolific (a crowdsourcing platform). Specifically, the investigators are interested in conducting a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test the efficacy of these videos as compared to a vignette control condition on reducing self-stigma and increasing help-seeking intentions and behavior at baseline, post, and 30 day follow-up among youth with depressive symptom scores on the PHQ-9≥ 5.
