Filter by:The aim of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to assess the effectiveness of Basic Body Awareness Therapy online in patients' survivors of Covid-19, health workers and women suffering from gender based violence regarding post-traumatic stress disorder in comparison with treatment as usual. The study will be multicentric in base Hospital Igualada and University of Lleida. The participants will be survivors of Covid-19 that had been inpatient in intensive care and health workers in first line with pandemia as doctors, nurse, physiotherapist, etc. More else, a new context emerge regarding gender based violence during the lockdown time. Outcomes variables will be measured regarding post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, pain, quality of life and sleep. Fifty-four patients will be randomly assigned to a control group that will follow treatment as usual. The intervention group that will be received the same treatment adding Basic Body Awareness Therapy. The intervention will last 3 months twice a week at online format. At first month the intervention consisted of 12 movements and 15 min for sharing reflections about experiences. During the subsequent sessions, the treatment will be in group of 8 participants using the same methodology online. If the conditions of pandemia allow, the group will be presential in the health center at last month. Data analysis will performed using ANOVA of variables intragroup with repeated measurements. The analyses of the effects between groups will be performed throught ANOVA intergroup.
PTSD is a common and distressing possible outcome following exposure to a traumatic event. Recent studies show that memory processes may be central to the development of the disorder, and interrupting the consolidation of traumatic memories may prevent the disorder from developing. Specifically the use of a visual spatial task has been shown to reduce a key characteristic of PTSD, intrusions, in non-clinical populations. This study aims to administer a visual spatial task to recent trauma survivors in the Emergency Room, and compare PTSD and symptoms development in these patients as compared to a control group who did not carry out the task. The study hypothesizes that the task will result in less PTSD, lower levels of intrusions, dissociation and pain.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a decision aid on veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) presenting for care. The investigators' primary hypothesis is that patients assigned to use the decision aid will demonstrate improved quality of decisions regarding PTSD treatment relative to patients assigned to usual care. Improved decision quality will be examined by assessing patient's knowledge of treatments, evaluation of the risk and benefits, ability to arrive at a decision, and certainty about that decision. The investigators' secondary hypothesis is that patients assigned to the decision aid will be more satisfied with their care and more compliant with their care compared to patients assigned to receive usual care. The investigators will also determine whether patients assigned to the decision aid, relative to patients assigned to usual care, are more likely to receive evidence-based treatments for PTSD and experience reductions in PTSD symptoms.
The principal aim of this project is to conduct a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) to examine whether adding a twelve-session Multi-Component Yoga Intervention (MCYI) to the treatment regimen of Australian Vietnam Veterans suffering chronic Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) leads to a significantly greater clinical improvement than conventional psychiatric treatment alone. Include 12 sessions with each session 3 hours duration- 4 days per week for 3 weeks i.e. total of 36 hours. The Multi-Component Yoga Intervention (MCYI) consisting of specific poses, breathing techniques, information about yoga techniques and practices, group processes, psychoeducation, relaxation procedures and meditation techniques in Vietnam War Veterans with chronic Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) resistant to treatment has been developed. This project aims to evaluate MCYI through RCT method. It is hypothesised that Yoga augmentation will lead to: (1) reduced symptoms of PTSD and Depression; and (2) reduced alcohol intake. A secondary aim of the proposed RCT is to evaluate putative mediating variables. Benefits include that it is low cost and easy to apply. Done at home, non threatening and additional to standard psychiatric treatment for PTSD.
