The studies proposed in this protocol aim to explore the anxiolytic properties of floating as it relates to the central and autonomic nervous system.
Adults with high anxiety sensitivity (AS) and a mental health diagnosis of anxiety, depression, or posttraumatic stress will be recruited and will be randomly assigned to either transdiagnostic cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for AS or disorder-specific CBT for their primary mental health problem. The study outcomes - AS, anxiety, mood, and substance use symptoms, and functional impairment - will be assessed at pre-and post-treatment and 6 and 12 months post-treatment via standardized self-report measures completed by participants and a standardized diagnostic interview.
This study will test the efficiency of the Freespira Breathing System in youth.
Transdiagnostic Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) delivered in the individual format, have been proven just as effective as traditional diagnosis specific CBT manuals. The investigators have translated and modified the "The Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders" (UP-CBT) to make it applicable as group therapy in Danish Mental Health Service and a naturalistic trial of this manual has shown promising results. As the use of one manual instead of several diagnosis specific manuals in regional clinics could simplify logistics and reduce waiting time, the investigators want to compare group UP-CBT with diagnosis specific group CBT. Method: A partial blinded, pragmatic, non-inferiority, multicentre randomized clinical trial (RCT). UP-CBT is compared to treatment-as-usual CT. 124 patients are included in each intervention arm, recruited from three Danish regional Mental Health Service Clinics. 31st July 2018 suppl: Inclusion number expanded to 170 in each arm due to unexpected large drop-out.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of 1) a stepped mental health care intervention and 2) an integrated mental health care and vocational rehabilitation intervention for people on sick leave because of depression and anxiety in Denmark
The purpose of this study was to determine whether clonazepam and paroxetine are effective in the treatment of panic disorder. Efficacy was evaluated in short-term, long-term and post-treatment.
The study is to examine the therapeutic effect of a brief version of biofeedback therapy (developed bu the research team) on panic disorder. It is a randomized controlled design. The severity of panic symptoms of two groups of panic patients (reveiving biofeedback therapy or not) were measured before and after the six week duration. Besides, the severity of anxiety, depressive, somatic symptoms, and physiological indexes were recorded.
Anxiety disorders are the most common mental disorders in community settings, and they are associated with significant psychological distress, functional and social impairment. Although pharmacological and psychological treatments for anxiety and depression have existed for several years now, only a minority of anxiety disorder sufferers are treated according to guidelines. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is the most consistently efficacious psychological treatment for anxiety disorders, but implementation of CBT in primary care is challenging due to limited resources. Recent studies indicate that transdiagnostic group CBT for multiple anxiety disorders could be a promising alternative to individual CBT in primary care. The aim of the study is to examine the effectiveness of group CBT for anxiety disorders as a complement to usual care. The clinical trial will be conducted in three Health and Social Services Centers in the province of Québec (i.e. Sherbrooke, Laval and Québec). Patients will be French-speaking adults with anxiety disorders, and they will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment conditions: a) Transdiagnostic group CBT (12 weekly 2-hour sessions), b) usual care. The transdiagnostic group CBT will be offered as a differed intervention to participants in the usual care group after the 8-month follow up. Participants in both study arms will undergo a baseline clinical evaluation as well as outcome assessment interviews at post-treatment, 4, 8, and 12 month follow-up time-points. The primary study results will include improvement on a questionnaire on anxiety symptoms. Widespread implementation of group CBT could lead to better outcomes for a large number of patients living with anxiety.
Anxiety is among the most prevalent, costly and disabling illnesses and tends emerge early in childhood. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the first-line treatment for early life anxiety, but as many as 40% of young patients who receive CBT fail to get better. The proposed study will examine brain changes marking positive response to CBT for anxiety and how these changes may differ in children compared adolescents. By helping us to understand how CBT works, this study will pave the way for new treatments to stop anxiety early.
