Filter by:This is a pilot trial to see if one or two 40 treatment courses of low pressure hyperbaric oxygen therapy can improve cognition and brain imaging in subjects with either chronic mild-moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI), also known as post-concussion syndrome (PCS) or chronic PCS with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) secondary to blast injury.
This study will examine whether interpersonal psychotherapy is as effective in treating post-traumatic stress disorder as the established therapies of prolonged exposure and relaxation.
The purpose of this study is to examine if treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder in combat veterans with paroxetine changes brain responses as measured by functional magnetic resonance imaging and if brain responses can predict who will get better with treatment.
This project evaluated the impact of semi-structured, standardized interviews on the initial PTSD C&P on the examination.
This multi-centred study will be conducted at three centres. The design will be a randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel-group one. This investigation will evaluate the efficacy of add-on Quetiapine XR (extended release) treatment for patients who meet diagnostic criteria for depressive disorders and one or more comorbid anxiety disorder.
This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study evaluating the efficacy and safety of high-frequency (20Hz) rTMS applied to the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex for 6 weeks. The primary objective is to evaluate the change in PTSD symptoms before and after six weeks of high-frequency rTMS treatment as measured by the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) in both active and control groups.
Objective: OEF/OIF (Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom) veterans are presenting with high rates of PTSD. Translating Initiatives for Depression into Effective Solutions (TIDES) is a model of phone-based care being implemented nationally as a model to address those patients suffering from depression, PTSD, or alcohol use disorders. However, evidence-based treatments do not yet exist for phone-based management of OEF/OIF veterans who suffer from PTSD. Research Plan: This is an open trial to assess feasibility of augmenting standard treatment of PTSD with TIDES based telephone-based nurse care management.
The scientific objective of this program is to meet the rehabilitation needs of combat wounded Veterans with mild to moderate Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) via telerehabilitation and determine the effect of this modality of care on patients' physical health and outcomes including function and community participation. The investigators will also evaluate the benefits and limitations of rehabilitation using telehealth from the Veteran and caregiver perspectives and evaluate the impact of rehabilitation via telehealth on Veterans Administration (VA) healthcare facility use.
In an on-going study of visual characteristics of personnel diagnosed with a mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) related to their service in Iraq and Afghanistan we found a high rate of binocular vision problems (such as double/blurry vision, reading difficult, etc.). These individuals are also usually diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD is known to cause some vision symptoms. We wish to conduct this study on individuals with PTSD (but not an MTBI) to see if they have symptoms similar to those in individuals who have MTBI. This will provide us with information useful in determining the specific cause of the visual symptoms in the MTBI population.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral couples therapy designed for post-traumatic stress disorder in reducing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and in improving relationship functioning.
