Filter by:This is a Phase 2 randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study that will evaluate multiple potential pharmacotherapeutic interventions for PTSD utilizing an adaptive platform trial design. Intervention B - Vilazodone will assess the safety and efficacy of vilzodone in participants with PTSD. Please see NCT05422612 for information on the S-21-02 Master Protocol.
This is a Phase 2 randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study that will evaluate multiple potential pharmacotherapeutic interventions for PTSD utilizing an adaptive platform trial design. Intervention A - Fluoxetine will assess the safety and efficacy of fluoxetine in participants with PTSD. Please see NCT05422612 for information on the S-21-02 Master Protocol.
This is a Phase 2 randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study that will evaluate multiple potential pharmacotherapeutic interventions for PTSD utilizing an adaptive platform trial design. Intervention C - Daridorexant will assess the safety and efficacy of daridorexant in participants with PTSD. Please see NCT05422612 for information on the S-21-02 Master Protocol.
The study investigators are conducting the first open label pilot trial of MDMA-assisted therapy (MDMA-AT) with a comorbid sample of military veterans with a comorbid diagnosis of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This novel experimental treatment package consists of two once-monthly Experimental Sessions of therapy combined with a divided-dose of MDMA HCl, along with non-drug preparatory and integrative therapy. The Primary Outcome measure, the Timeline Follow-back (TLFB), will evaluate changes in alcohol use over time. Changes in PTSD symptoms will also be evaluated.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare a novel, massed treatment format of prolonged exposure to gold standard trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy (weekly delivered prolonged exposure) for post-traumatic stress disorder. The objective with this study is to investigate efficacy, mechanisms of change and cost effectiveness of intensive prolonged exposure (I-PE) in regular Swedish psychiatric care. Adult patients with post-traumatic stress disorder will be randomly assigned to receive either gold standard prolonged exposure weekly for 15 weeks or 5 days of intensive treatment with the addition of three booster sessions dispersed 1, 2 and 4 weeks after completion of the massed treatment period.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare therapist-guided internet delivered prolonged exposure to an active control condition( therapist-guided internet delivered cognitive behavioral therapy containing relaxation techniques) for post-traumatic stress disorder. The objective with this study is to investigate efficacy, mechanisms of change and cost effectiveness of therapist-guided internet delivered prolonged exposure. Adult patients with post-traumatic stress disorder will be randomly assigned to receive either 10 weeks of therapist-guided internet delivered prolonged exposure or therapist-guided internet delivered cognitive-behavioral therapy containing relaxation.
People living with HIV (PLWH) have a higher rate of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) diagnosis than the general population. Comorbid PTSD is also associated with negative HIV-related health outcomes. Unfortunately, little outcome research has examined the usefulness of PTSD treatments for PTSD. This pilot study adapts for PLWH a non-exposure based psychotherapy for PTSD focused on reflecting on one's emotions and relationships and understanding and working through how trauma may have disrupted them. The study team is interested in better understanding the needs of PLWH with PTSD, learning whether PLWH with PTSD find this treatment acceptable and helpful, and beginning to understand the relationship between HIV-related health factors (e.g., inflammation and stress biology) and PTSD, and how these health factors may improve during treatment.
The first study proposed is a small (n= 10 to 12 maximum) open feasibility trial of CAVEAT which is a 16-session manualized brief psychotherapy prototcol that is designed to help mothers of infants and young children, whereby the mothers have been exposed to interpersonal violence (i.e. childhood maltreatment and family violence, intimate and non-intimate partner violence, interpersonal combat and or other forms of terrorism or political violence including physical and sexual assault) and who have developed related post-traumatic stress. The treatment uses an integration and extension of evidence-based techniques: Modified Interaction Guidance, Prolonged Exposure Therapy for PTSD, Child-Parent Psychotherapy, and Minding the Baby, in order to help mothers with post-traumatic dysregulation and difficulty in their maintaining sensitivity during challenging parent-child interactions (i.e. when mothers are confronted with child helpless states, emotion dysregulation, negative affect and child aggression). Outcome measures will initially include: maternal attributions towards her child (i.e. perception of child's personality), maternal-child behavior, and maternal-child symptoms of attachment disturbance and PTSD. This feasibility study is meant to perfect the manual and to prepare for an initial open trial with a larger clinical sample including analysis of pre- and post-intervention measures before further randomized control study can be done.
The overall goal of this study is to use fMRI and psychophysiological measures to investigate a novel strategy involving "Affect Labeling" for improving emotion regulation in PTSD that could lead to a new treatment regimen for PTSD. Our project has two specific aims. First, the investigators aim to identify a novel neural target for possible PTSD intervention by verifying that RVLPFC-based inhibitory processing is impaired in PTSD. Second, the investigators will examine whether repeated practice with a simple cognitive-emotional task that requires inhibitory processing, namely, affect labeling, can strengthen the RVLPFC's ability to down-regulate emotional responses and physiological reactivity in PTSD and thereby form the basis of a novel treatment strategy to be developed in future studies. Secondary objectives are to examine the extent to which RVLPFC-based inhibitory impairments in PTSD are specific to trauma-relevant emotional processing (i.e., trauma-related distress) or extend to other types of inhibitory regulation in general, which would have implications for the future study of inhibitory-enhancement-based interventions for PTSD.
The intent of this study is to establish technical feasibility in a clinical population (PTSD, with or without mild TBI) of personalized TMS-fNIRS technology. Thereby demonstrating the utility of transcranial magnetic stimulation - functional near-infrared spectroscopy (TMS-fNIRS) technology as a direct measure of frontal brain activity, potentially replacing the indirect motor threshold procedure that may lead to improper dosing of TMS. Personalized TMS-fNIRS technology will guide therapy for depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and/or traumatic brain injury (TBI)
