The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare a novel sound healing approach, biofield tuning, to a waitlist control group in a healthy adult population naive to the intervention. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is there a significant reduction in state and trait anxiety as measured by the State-Trait Anxiety Index (STAI) with biofield tuning compared to waitlist control? - Are there significant reductions in negative affect, as well as increases in self-compassion, positive affect, and interoceptive awareness in the intervention group? - What are the relationships between changes in anxiety symptoms, negative affect words, and microbiome changes in participants who have undergone this biofield intervention? Participants will be: - Randomized to intervention/control - Recieve 5 sound healing interventions weekly - Asked to complete surveys and audio prompts throughout the intervention - Asked to provide a microbiome sample pre- and post-intervention
The goal of this study is to improve the mental health of home health aides, a workforce that provides care for adults at home but whose own health has been historically poor. The main questions the study aims to answer are: - Will a health program called Living Healthy, which provides health education and support with positive thinking, be used by home health aides and do they like it? - Does Living Healthy actually improve home health aides' mood compared to what they usually do to take care of themselves? Participants in the study will get an 8-week health program called Living Healthy over 3 months. Some of the participants will also have a 'peer coach' who is another home health aide who's been trained to help them with the program and learn some ways to feel better. The study will compare the experiences of home health aides who get Living Healthy plus a peer coach with those who only get the Living Healthy program.
This clinical trial is being conducted to see if brain stimulation and brain training together improves cognitive functioning and mood in older adults diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Brain stimulation will be done using repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS). Brain training will be done using immersive virtual reality cognitive training (iVCT) program. The goals of this clinical trail are as follows: - Examine if rTMS+iVCT intervention can improve and sustain objective cognitive functioning in individuals with MCI more than control or rTMS only groups - Examine if rTMS+iVCT intervention improves participants mental health symptoms, functional abilities, and quality of life more than control or rTMS only groups - Examine the impact of rTMS+iVCT intervention on caregiver burden. Eligible participants will be assigned to a standard treatment (no intervention control) group, rTMS only group of rTMS+iVCT group. All participants will undergo baseline assessment to evaluate their cognitive, emotional, and functional abilities. Those in the rTMS only group will receive rTMS treatments for five days per week for two weeks (total of ten sessions). Those in the rTMS+iVCT group will receive rTMS treatment followed by iVCT training for five days a week for two weeks (total of ten sessions). All participants will then repeat testing 2 weeks and three months after baseline testing to assess for possible treatment related changes and lasting effects.
Now affecting one in six couples in Canada, infertility is defined as a lack of conception after 12 or more months of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse. Infertility can result from a number of causes; however, women are responsible for accommodating rigid treatment regimens and carry a disproportionate share of the psychological burden associated with infertility. Thirty to forty percent of women presenting for the evaluation of infertility experiencing clinically significant depression or anxiety. Yet access to infertility-specific mental health resources is extremely limited in Canada; current psychological interventions are not specialized to this population and are largely ineffective at reducing distress. Therefore, there is an enormous need to increase the efficacy and accessibility of mental health resources for this population. To address this need, the 7-week Coping with Infertility (CWI) program was developed in collaboration with women with lived experience with infertility. The CWI program aims to reduce distress related to infertility and was recently tested in a small pilot study, where it was found to be very effective in reducing depression and anxiety and improving quality of life among individuals struggling to get pregnant. The goal of this clinical study is to test the CWI program in adult women experiencing infertility. The main questions it aims to answer are if the CWI program is effective at improving mental health and well-being in women experiencing infertility, and if demographic or lifestyle factors moderate the effect of the treatment. For seven weeks, participants will receive the CWI program and complete online questionnaires and interviews to assess the program's effects on infertility-related distress, quality of life, depressive symptoms, anxiety, and relationship quality. They will then complete these questionnaires biweekly for 16 weeks following the program. Researchers will compare the CWI program to a waitlist/treatment as usual control condition to see if the program reduces psychological distress above and beyond women's ordinary coping strategies. If the program is effective in improving psychological well-being in this clinical study, the researchers will make the program widely and freely available to women throughout Canada and the world.
The aim of this randomized control trial study is to develop an online intervention project that specifically targets and addresses mental health issues among youths in the post-pandemic era, while also assessing its effectiveness. Additionally, this intervention project has the potential to effectively address other post-traumatic conditions experienced by youths. Furthermore, our research group will investigate the specific impacts of long-term interventions on various aspects including changes in mental health status, psychological resilience, coping strategies, perceived social support, and emotional intelligence among the participants.
To our knowledge, no studies have compared a virtual psychological intervention (VPI) to standard care in a randomized control trial format. We believe virtual administration of psychological CBT modules will be an accessible and convenient vehicle to improve ACLR outcomes. The purpose of our study is to apply and assess the outcomes of ACLR patients after undergoing VPI in comparison to a control cohort. We hypothesize that ACLR patients in the VPI cohort will have improved return to sport and post operative outcomes compared to controls. This study is a parallel arm prospective randomized-controlled trial. The expected duration of the study is two years. Trial eligibility criteria are as follows: patients over the age of 12 undergoing first time ACLR with a HFH Sports Orthopedic surgeon.An asynchronous course of pre- and post-operative CBT modules (VPI) will be delivered to patients in Group A as an adjuvant treatment to standard-of-care rehabilitation. Each session is designed to provide patients with different CBT strategies to augment their recovery. Sessions will be delivered virtually by trained health professionals. Participants in Group B will receive standard-of-care rehabilitation only. Outcomes measured willl include return to sport at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months, PROMIS scores, PHQ-2 scores, ACL-RSI scores, post-op opioid usage.
Mental health issues and suicide are becoming increasingly common among health care trainees and providers. Suicide is the leading cause of death among male medical residents and the second leading cause of death among female residents.
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to study the evolution of adolescent and young people's mental health over a 12-month period after presentation to an emergency department or crisis service for an acute psychiatric episode. This study aims to: - Describe the mental health care trajectories of adolescents and young adults after an acute psychiatric episode. - Identify psychiatric disorders (such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, suicidal thoughts, sleep, etc.) at the different time points of the study (at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after inclusion) ; - Assess the quality of life and functional capacity in daily activities of participants at each study time point ; - Determine the socio-demographic, psychosocial and environmental factors associated with improving mental health over time and with mental health help seeking. Patients aged from 10 to 24, presenting to one of the participating centers for an acute psychiatric episode, and who agree to participate, will be included in the study. Participants will have to complete an online questionnaire every 3 months over a 12-month period (at baseline (T0), at 3 months (T3), at 6 months (T6), at 9 month (T9) and at 12 months (T12))
Background- In developing countries like India, seeking mental health care is still a taboo, and a lot of stigma is attached to consulting a psychiatric specialist or a counselor. This problem magnifies during postpartum period characterized by depressive symptoms in mothers indicating persistent low mood and feeling of worthlessness with easy fatigability, poor appetite, and sleep deprivation which leads to lack of interest in daily activities including oral health care. Rationale- Many studies have evaluated the periodontal status during pregnancy and its consequences but only few studies have been conducted evaluating the periodontal status during the postpartum period. None of the study has evaluated the association of Mental health and periodontitis during postpartum period. Objectives-To assess the Association between Periodontal status and Mental health in Postpartum women Methods- Periodontal Status and Mental health status (by Mental Health Inventory) will be assessed in Women during postpartum period (6-8 weeks- 6 months after delivery). Expected outcomes- Study of periodontal status during postpartum period may contribute in elucidating this interrelationship and helps to design better prevention strategies for women's mental health.
