NCT ID: NCT05550610 Completed - Pain Clinical Trials

Evaluation of Mindfulness and Yoga in Basic Combat Training

Start date: October 12, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The present study is a group randomized trial assessing the impact of mindfulness and yoga training on the health, performance, and well-being of soldiers in Basic Combat Training (BCT). Randomization occurred at the platoon level, and platoons received either a combined mindfulness and yoga regimen or training as usual.

NCT ID: NCT05414708 Recruiting - PTSD Clinical Trials

Art Therapy and Emotional Well Being in Military Populations With Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms

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

Art therapy is used across the Military Health System for treatment of posttraumatic symptoms, but there is limited research on how art therapy is able to restore emotional expression and regulation in service members. This research hopes to learn about the effects of art therapy on emotional expression and regulation in service members as well as the neurological systems at work. If a participant chooses to be in this study, he or she will attend ten sessions over a period of twelve weeks. The first session will be an interview and self-assessment questionnaires to collect information on a variety of symptoms, experiences, and personality traits, and an MRI scan. During the MRI scan, participants will be asked to perform a task where they will be shown a series of neutral and negative images. The middle eight sessions will be one-hour art therapy sessions with a certified art therapist. The last session will consist of the same self-assessment questionnaires and another MRI scan.

NCT ID: NCT05003778 Completed - Healthy Clinical Trials

Minimal Equipment Training Approach to Improve Warfighter Performance

Start date: November 20, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this project is to compare a minimal equipment training program with and without blood flow restriction (BFR) training to periodized concurrent resistance and endurance training. The outcomes of interest are Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) performance along with laboratory measures of performance, which include body composition, power, strength, and maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max). Additionally, based on the role of mechanical tension in connective tissue adaptation and the importance for chronic musculoskeletal health, tendon architecture will be assessed as well. Lastly, specific blood-based biomarkers will be analyzed in conjunction with questionnaires to determine the systemic physiological and psychological responses to training. Participants will be randomized into one of three training groups and will follow their respective program for 6 weeks. The three groups are traditional concurrent resistance and endurance training, minimal equipment training, and minimal equipment training with blood flow restriction (BFR).

NCT ID: NCT04776304 Completed - PTSD Clinical Trials

Art Therapy qEEG Study for Service Members With a Traumatic Brain Injury and Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms

ArtTherapy
Start date: October 30, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Service members and/or recently separated veterans with post traumatic stress symptoms and mild traumatic brain injury may participate in 8 sessions including 2 sessions including interviews and questionnaires as well as 6 sessions of art therapy. In the art therapy, participants will be provided with a blank paper mache mask template and invited to alter the mask however they wish using a variety of art materials. The therapist will use the art-making process and culminating product to aid in self-reflection, reframe negative thoughts and feelings, and work through traumatic content. Prior to the session start participants will get set up with a mobile qEEG (worn like a hat and backpack). The qEEG will measure brain activity in a non-invasive way throughout the art therapy session to improve understanding of brain activity during the art therapy process.

NCT ID: NCT04672811 Recruiting - Military Activity Clinical Trials

Comprehensive and Continuous Status Measurement of Pre- and Post-Deployment Warfighters With Mobile Application

Start date: January 6, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In this study, we aim to continuously and comprehensively measure the mental and physical status of US Military Special Operation Forces (SOF) through a confidential and cybersecure research mobile application (app) over a six-month period. In conjunction with data collected via the mobile app, wearable sensors, such as the Apple Watch, will be used to continuously collect physiologic (e.g. heart rate) and other data (e.g. activity, sleep). Additionally, the app will have the capability of delivering helpful features, such as information and activities to ideally support study subjects, mitigate degradation, and optimize performance. The overall objective of the proposal is to investigate whether the app can contribute to reducing overall warfighter degradation and if degradation can be predicted from daily continuous measures of physical and mental behavior.
