Filter by:The aim of this study is to examine the efficacy of virtual reality exposure therapy as a treatment for specific phobia (spiders). A gamified virtual reality simulation of one-session therapy (VR-OST) will be compared to the gold-standard treatment in the form of traditional one-session phobia treatment (OST) using in-vivo stimuli. This study was powered to detect a non-inferiority margin of a 2-point difference between groups.
This research is designed to determine the effectiveness of attention bias modification for socially anxious children and adolescents. Over the course of 3 years, 50 youth will be enrolled in the trial.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of JNJ-42165279 during 12 weeks of treatment in participants with Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD).
Annually, an estimated 700,000 patients do not complete their scheduled MRI scans because of claustrophobia or inability to hold still. Training staffs working in MRI facilities to provide Comfort Talk® will enable patients to complete high quality imaging without medication, which will increase satisfaction and comfort while reducing sedation risks for patients, and increase efficiency and reduce loss of revenue for facilities. The effect of such training will be tested at 12 MRI sites in a randomized design. Outcome data will be collected for one year.
The aim of this study is to determine the validity of a self-questionnaire detecting seniors phobia of falling living at home. A prospective monocentric observational study compares in a blind way the presence of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders fourth edition (DSM-IV) criteria for specific phobia, considered as the gold standard to the score obtained at the detecting questionnaire for ≥70 years old seniors suspected of phobia of falling and attending geriatric day hospital at the Bretonneau hospital (APHP, Paris).
This randomized clinical trial compares virtual reality exposure therapy to exposure group therapy to a waiting list control group.
This RCT examines the effectiveness of Attention Bias Modification Treatment (ABMT) as an augment to Cognitive-Behavioral Group Treatment (CBGT) for Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) in adults. It is expected that ABMT vs. control training condition would achieve better therapeutic outcomes as indicated reduction in symptoms. Participants from three groups (estimated 40 patients) will be offered to participate in the study
Childhood anxiety disorders are very common, carry tremendous personal and societal costs, frequently do not respond adequately to treatment, and involving parents in treatment has so far not enhanced outcomes. Explanatory clinical trials are needed to identify parent specific mechanisms of change that are not targeted in direct child treatment, and to identify markers of who is most likely to benefit from parent intervention. This study is an explanatory clinical trial of a parent based intervention and of cognitive behavioral therapy, and an investigation of biological and behavioral moderators of treatment response.
The efficacy of high-intensity Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for social anxiety disorder is well established (Mayo-Wilson et al., 2014) and it is recommended by the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) as the first-line psychological intervention for social anxiety disorder. The treatment aims to modify several maintenance factors (e.g., self-focused attention) that are specified in cognitive models of social anxiety disorder (e.g., Clark & Wells, 1995). Cognitive-behavioural self-help treatments for social anxiety disorder have been developed to overcome various accessibility issues (e.g., long wait-lists, and the patient's need to avoid social situations, etc) associated with high-intensity CBT (Abramowitz et al., 2009; Carlbring et al., 2007) but a recent network meta-analysis (Mayo-Wilson et al., 2014) identified the former as less cost-effective than the later and thus, they are not recommended as standalone treatments. However, the potential benefit of cognitive-behavioural self-help treatments for social anxiety disorder within a stepped-care recovery model as a prelude to high-intensity CBT has not been formally evaluated. The aim of this study is to evaluate a seminal Cognitive-Behavioural Bibliotherapy* (CBB; "pure self-help" book) - 'Overcoming Social Anxiety & Shyness' (Butler, 2009) - for patients with social anxiety disorder while on the wait-list for high-intensity CBT within an Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) service, and to determine if some patients recover from CBB alone or whether there may be a reduction in the average number of high-intensity CBT sessions for those patients who subsequently require further treatment. The study is funded by Constable & Robinson, Kellogg College (University of Oxford) and Talking Change (Solent NHS Trust). * The Reading Well Books on Prescription scheme with funding from the Arts Council England enables general practitioners (GPs) and mental health professionals to prescribe seminal CBBs for patients with mood and anxiety disorders. The books are accessed free of charge via local libraries. The scheme works within NICE guidelines and it is support by the Royal Colleges of GPs, Nursing and Psychiatrists, the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies and the Department of Health through its IAPT programme.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of a computer-aided self-help treatment for flying phobia with or without support by the therapist, compared to a waiting list control group. Secondary objectives: a) to explore two ways of delivering NO-FEAR Airlines, with or without therapist guidance and b) to study the patients' acceptability through expectations, preferences and satisfaction towards the online program. In this work, we present the study design. The principal hypothesis is that the two intervention groups will improve significantly compared to the waiting list control group.
