Filter by:An association of fatigue with post-viral neuropsychological disturbs has been reported. Among patients hospitalized with COVID-19 there is an increased incidence of anxiety and depression symptoms. In addition, a quarter of patients experience at least mild symptoms of acute post traumatic stress disorder. (Mazza, M. G. et al 2020). The prevalence of chronic fatigue syndrome had a correlation with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a study conducted after the outbreak of the COVID-19 in Iran (Silmani et al, 2021), that showed 5.8% of subjects suffering from PTSD after 6 months of SARS-CoV-2 infection onset. In this Study we propose to use a tool to quantify the degree of physical and psychological fatigue in post-COVID-19 patients, and assess the correlation of fatigue with the neuropsychiatric sequelae in hospitalized and non hospitalized patients.
Norwegian child and advocacy centers´ core activities include both forensic services (e.g., forensic interviews) and follow-up services (e.g., treatment), aiming to coordinate the different services involved in each case to prevent additional burdens for youth in already vulnerable situations. However, a recent study indicates that very few receive follow-up after the forensic interview and that the follow-up in most cases includes one-time or occasional support and only in rare cases treatment. In the same study, youth receiving follow-up in the CAC in Oslo revealed significantly higher levels of common mental health problems than a comparable community sample, yet lower than clinical samples, indicating that many youths in CACs may be falling between different services within the health care system, not necessarily receiving the help they need elsewhere. The current project will investigate four issues related to these knowledge needs; 1. How do children and parents experience receiving trauma treatment at child advocacy centers? 2. What predicts treatment effects? 3. What is the prevalence of symptoms of burnout and secondary traumatic stress among employees working in child advocacy centers, and can training in evidence-based treatment prevent burnout and secondary traumatic stress?
This is a prospective, clinical pilot study (n=20) to evaluate the impact of a ketamine treatment for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) on epigenetic aging by the TruAge epigenetic age laboratory test.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with a marked tendency to have exaggerated and persistent negative beliefs and expectations about oneself or the world . Although posttraumatic stress symptoms have been shown to be associated with a tendency to negatively anticipate the future, affective forecasting skills (i.e., the ability to predict one's own emotional reactions in response to a future event) have never been explored in PTSD . The hypothesis that the PTSD is associated with a negative affective forecasting bias, characterized by a tendency to predict more intense emotional responses to future negative events.
Open-label study of brexanolone infusion for the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder in 20 adult women with PTSD. Primary Objective: To determine if brexanolone injection infused intravenously for 24 hours at up to 60 μg/kg/h reduces PTSD symptom severity in a group of non-veteran adult female subjects diagnosed with PTSD as assessed by the change from baseline in the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) total score and rate of remission at 12-weeks post infusion. Secondary Objectives - To evaluate the safety and tolerability profiles of brexanolone in this PTSD patient population as assessed by the incidence of adverse events (AEs), vital sign measurement, the Stanford Sleepiness Scale (SSS) and the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS). - To determine the effects of brexanolone in reducing depressive symptoms and improving functional capacity in PTSD patients as assessed by change from baseline in self-assessment Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS-S) total score and Sheehan Disability Scale scores
Trial title: A Randomized, Double Blind Sham Controlled Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy of Electrical Vestibular Nerve Stimulation (VeNS), Compared to a Sham Control for Treatment of PTSD The aim of this study: To better evaluate the efficacy of non-invasive electrical vestibular nerve stimulation (VeNS) as a method of treating PTSD, as compared to a sham control. Allocation: Randomized to either active device or control device usage. Endpoint classification: Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment in 1:1 active to control allocation Sample size: The aim is to recruit a total of up to 300 participants. The study will last 12 weeks in total for each subject.
KopOpOuders-PTSD is a new preventive blended care intervention for parents with PTSD. The purpose of this study is to evaluate its effectiveness in improving parenting and preventing child mental health problems.
We plan to study the reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance of the virtually-delivered Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (v-SKY) intervention. We will study effectiveness by comparing the effects of v-SKY to a waitlist control in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with Canadian military and RCMP veterans with PTSD. Effects of the intervention on PTSD symptom severity, depression, pain, anxiety, and quality of life will be evaluated. We will evaluate the reach, adoption, implementation, and maintenance of the v-SKY intervention amongst veterans, SKY instructors, health professionals, and administrators by interviewing RCT participants, instructors, health professionals, and administrators that work with veterans. Evaluating implementation of a virtual intervention is relevant in both pandemic and post-pandemic contexts where virtual interventions may continue to be more available and possibly preferred by patients and clients.
This study will examine the use brief prolonged exposure (Brief PE) therapy compared to standard clinical care to reduce posttraumatic distress among people who have had a spinal cord injury and are receiving rehabilitation in an inpatient setting.
Recent data suggest that the cannabinoid-system is involved in stress regulation and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Low endocannabinoid signaling has been found in PTSD patients and might even present a precondition to develop PTSD after trauma. The aim of the current project is to investigate the impact of an activation of the cannabinoid system with an exogenous cannabinoid (dronabinol, i.e., delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) on fear conditioning.
