Filter by:This study evaluates the role of treatment success expectation in spider fearful individuals on the actual treatment success. Half of participants will have positive treatment success expectations, while the other half will have neutral treatment outcome expectations.
The goal of this study is to increase the efficiency of exposure in virtual reality (VR). Based on the EMDR research the investigators would like to show that the implementation of eye movements during the VR exposure results in a faster physiological relaxation response among probands with spider phobia, which has a positive effect on the subjective and behavioral efficacy of the VR exposure.
There are two specific aims for this study. Aim 1 is to test whether low-level laser therapy (LLLT) can enhance the efficacy of fear extinction training in the modification of pathological fear. Aim 2 is to investigate the efficacy of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) as a stand-alone intervention for anxiety/phobias.
The aims of this project are to determine the effectiveness of a time intensive form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for Specific Phobia of Vomiting (SPOV). Current research shows that this brief format can be effective in other specific phobias e.g. insects and animals. However, to date limited research has been conducted on the effectiveness of time intensive forms of CBT for SPOV. A single case experimental design will be used to analyse specific and idiosyncratic outcome measures in 6-8 cases of SPOV, referred to the Centre for Anxiety Disorders and Trauma (CADAT) for treatment. Specifically, the project will explore the effectiveness of CBT delivered in a time-intensive format and imagery rescripting elements of the treatment. This initial study will provide important information about which elements of CBT are most effective at reducing targeted symptoms and whether symptom reduction can be achieved in a shorter number of sessions. It represents a crucial step before this format of CBT can be more rigorously evaluated and compared to other treatment approaches by Randomised Controlled Trial.
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.
The purpose of this pilot study is to explore whether there is a differential impact of verbal versus imagery-based cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) as a treatment augmentation strategy for individuals with social anxiety disorder (SAD). Clients who have not demonstrated clinically significant change following group CBT for SAD will receive four additional sessions of either verbal-based CBT or imagery-based CBT. We hypothesize that that individuals who receive imagery-based CBT will experience even stronger improvements and be more satisfied with their treatment than individuals who received traditional verbal-linguistic CBT.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether levels of sex hormones (including estrogen and progesterone) influence women's response to treatment for Specific Phobia of spiders. It is hypothesised that women will show less relapse of symptoms of spider phobia if they receive treatment during a period of high levels of sex hormones.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether giving gaze-contingent feedback is an effective attention modification procedure, helping in the treatment of social anxiety disorder (SAD)
The primary objectives of this study is to test the feasibility and efficacy of group-therapy supported internet-delivered CBT for adolescents (13 - 17 years) with social anxiety disorder. Investigators will conduct an open trial with N = 30 participants. Participants will be assessed at baseline, immediately after treatment and at a 6-month follow-up.
This project aims to determine the respective impacts of two routine care regarding phobic of falling seniors on the mobility restriction. The investigators used a monocentric, randomized and controlled research according to two parallel groups : physical activity, home assessment and modification (rehabilitation group) versus physical activity, home assessment and modification with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) (rehabilitation and CBT group). The investigators will assess the efficacy of usual care (rehabilitation group) and the supplementary benefit of CBT (rehabilitation and CBT group) with the Life Space Assessment.
