Filter by:ABSTRACT The transplant allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT Alo) is a therapeutic medical treatment carried out in combat various neoplastic hematologic disorders, congenital, genetic or acquired. In this procedure, which combines high-dose chemotherapy and or radiation and has a degree of high cytotoxicity, the patient goes for a social solitary confinement, which causes psychological distress, pain, anxiety, mood disorders and can lead to depression. The music therapy was applied and the purpose of decreasing the insulation. This is a randomized controlled study. Method: Apply the intervention of live music sessions through the techniques of music therapy; assess and quantify through the visual analog scale (VAS) and numeric. The dependent variables, pain, anxiety and mood of the participants selected randomly for the experimental group music therapy (EGM) n=50, and compare with the control group (CG) n=50, which received only the standard treatment.
This study was designed to evaluate the chronic effects of a proprietary spearmint extract over 90 days of supplementation on aspects of cognitive performance (cognitive function and active reaction time), subjective mood, and sleep quality in healthy men and women.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the placebo effect in a smartphone-based training, ostensibly designed to improve mood and perceived stress by daily exposition to either mock sound or color.
A randomized double blind placebo controlled trial to evaluate the effects of a specialized magnesium on mood states and sleep quality in older adults.
The purpose of this study is to investigate effects of a selected food product rich in polyphenol on cognitive performance and mood.
Psychological interventions for cancer patients have been tested and found to reduce stress and improve quality of life. These interventions have been tested at academic medical centers but have not been available for use by community mental health professionals. One such intervention is the Biobehavioral Intervention (BBI), developed by Professor Barbara L. Andersen and colleagues at Ohio State (OSU). Current funding has enabled the investigators to train mental health professionals from across the country to deliver the BBI at their institution. Recently diagnosed cancer patients who are participating in the BBI group at these institutions may participate in a research study completing self report measures asking about psychological and behavioral outcomes (for example, mood, stress, diet and physical activity). The investigators hypothesize that individuals participating in the intervention will report improvements in outcomes, such as reduced stress and improved mood, reduced symptoms of the disease and treatment, etc., after completing the intervention and continue to report these improvements up to 6 months after the group ends. OSU will coordinate this data collection project but information about participating sites is listed in http://clinicaltrials.gov.
Rationale: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a psychiatric disorder whose onset, severity, and duration are influenced by interpersonal factors. The serotonin system is known to influence MDD risk. Recent research has suggested that serotonin may also play a role in regulating social behaviour. Therefore, it would be interesting to study the role of serotonin in responses to social stimuli in individuals at risk for MDD. Objective: This project aims to study how changes in serotonin alter interpersonal functioning in adults with or without a first degree family member diagnosed with MDD. The primary goal is to investigate the effect of experimentally lowered brain serotonin levels on empathic accuracy. Secondary goals are to determine how this manipulation influences verbal and non-verbal communication, cardiovascular function in a social context, and mood. An exploratory goal is to investigate how these outcomes are related to genes thought to be involved in MDD.
This study investigated the potentially cognitive enhancing effects of 500mg trans-resveratrol in healthy, young humans.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Guided Imagery and Progressive Muscle relaxation are effective as stress reducing techniques in parents of hospitalized children with cancer.
5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a nutritional supplement sold in many health food stores, and is taken in order to raise levels of serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that is involved in the regulation of mood. Previous research has assessed the effects of raising serotonin levels using tryptophan (the precursor of 5-HTP) and serotonergic antidepressants on emotional processing in healthy volunteers. However, to date there has been no human trial investigating the effects of 5-HTP on emotional processing in healthy volunteers. Thus, the current study aims to assess the effects of 5-HTP, on emotional processing and mood in healthy volunteers.
