Filter by:This study will determine the relative effectiveness of three psychotherapies in treating people with a panic disorder.
Alcohol use disorders (AUDs) are a major problem facing our society. Their treatment is complex, and involves multiple behavioral and pharmacotherapy interventions. There are 3 approved medications for AUDs, but their efficacy for AUDs that co-exist with anxiety disorders is unknown. This study explores the effects of the medication, sustained-release quetiapine fumarate (Seroquel SR) for the treatment of alcohol dependence and co-morbid anxiety. Primary outcome measure is the amount of alcohol used. Secondary outcome measures include craving for alcohol, length of sobriety from drinking and level of anxiety with Seroquel SR.
This study will compare the effectiveness of an intervention strategy for the treatment of people with post traumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety disorder in the primary care setting.
Personality targeted cognitive behavioural interventions have been shown to be effective in reducing alcohol and drug misuse in adult substance abusers (Conrod et al., 2000) and adolescent drinkers (Conrod et al, in press). As these interventions target personality traits linked to risk for addictive and non-addictive mental disorders, the aim of this study is to examine the extent to which this approach can prevent and/or reduce alcohol and drug misuse as well as have an impact on the onset or severity of emotional and behavioural problems in young people.
This study is designed to investigate if 600 mg ELB139 given orally t.i.d. to patients suffering from panic disorder is effective in reducing anxiety evoked by inhalation of 35% CO2 measured by a visual analogue scale after the first intake and after approximately one week of treatment as compared to placebo treatment.
The main purpose of this research study is to determine whether the drug Levetiracetam (Keppra™) is effective in the prevention of panic attacks. The drug Levetiracetam (Keppra™) has been approved for the treatment of seizures by the U.S. Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is available by prescription. Levetiracetam has not been approved by the FDA for the treatment of panic disorder.
An 8-week, open-label trial in 848 subjects at 212 sites to compare time to response in symptoms of anxiety in subjects treated with Niravam™ and a newly prescribed Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI)or Serotonin and Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor (SNRI) to that in subjects treated with a newly prescribed SSRI/SNRI alone. Subjects must be at least 18 years of age and positive for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)or Panic Disorder. Subjects will be randomized to receive concomitant Niravam™ and an SSRI/SNRI or an SSRI/SNRI alone during the study. Most symptom evaluations will be done using an automated phone interview system. There are 4 clinic visits.
We are comparing the efficacy of Risperidone versus Paroxetine in the treatment of panic symptoms. The study hypothesis is that Risperidone will be a superior medicine for treating panic.
The primary objective for the study is to test the hypothesis that sertraline plus alprazolam XR will result in superior early stabilization of primary care PD patients versus sertraline/placebo over a 12-week treatment period. The secondary objectives of the study are a) to assess withdrawal symptoms during alprazolam XR taper (weeks 5-7 of the 12-week trial) and after discontinuation, b) to compare physical health outcomes, medical services utilization, and cost-effectiveness of the two study interventions across the 12-week treatment period and subsequent three month maintenance treatment with sertraline alone, and c) to assess whether early co-administration of sertraline/ alprazolam XR will result in greater maintenance of treatment response than sertraline/placebo over the three months following the 12 week acute treatment program.
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the improvement in social function following therapy with venlafaxine extended release (XR) in the treatment of panic disorder (PD) in comparison to paroxetine. An additional purpose of this pilot study is to obtain the tolerability of using venlafaxine extended release (XR) in the treatment of panic disorder (PD) in comparison to paroxetine.
