The study of psychological trauma has become increasingly important in the field of mental health research due to the strong negative impact it has on the course and prognosis of psychiatric pathologies. However, from a clinical point of view it is still an overlooked and even ignored component. There is scientific evidence that treating traumatic events at outpatient hospital services in patients with severe mental disorder improves both trauma-related symptoms and clinical symptoms. A first-line treatment for psychological trauma is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. This therapy is recommended by the World Health Organization for treating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and which has obtained promising first results in patients with severe mental disorder. This project proposes to test whether EMDR therapy in addition to standard treatment is more effective than standard treatment alone in psychiatric in-patients with severe mental disorder, in terms of reducing symptoms related to psychopathology and trauma, and in terms of improving functioning. Our first hypothesis is that EMDR will be more effective than standard treatment alone in reducing the severity of psychiatric symptoms. Our second hypothesis is that EMDR will be more effective than standard treatment alone in reducing the severity of trauma-related symptoms. Our third hypothesis is that EMDR will be more effective than standard treatment alone in improving functioning.
The aim of the study is to compare the effect of motor interference therapy (TIM) to reduce the intensity of discomfort (distress) generated by a traumatic memory compared to a relaxation control maneuver, immediately after the intervention, a week, a month and six months after intervention.
There has been substantial progress in developing evidence-based prevention programs (EBPPs) for preventing risky behaviors and promoting positive outcomes for youth. Unfortunately, their adoption, quality implementation, long-term sustainability, and scalability in real world service settings, continues to lag far behind resulting in an inability to achieve the intended broad scale public impact. This SBIR Phase II project will build on the findings and feedback gathered from stakeholders in the Phase I project to fully develop and test the Impact implementation support system. Impact will provide an easy to use, cost- and time-efficient technology platform that is capable of (a) gathering relevant process and outcomes data in a feasible way within real-world service settings; (b) producing real-time analytics (e.g., graphical displays) and meaningful reports at the provider, service setting, and broader levels (e.g., state-wide); and (c) linking data analytics to continuous quality improvement (CQI) feedback to help providers achieve best practices and targeted youth outcomes.
This study examines the efficacy of a psychosensory intervention in relation to: Resilience, Type D personality, and physiological effects (on blood pressure, heart rate and salivary cortisol) in a group of people who have self-referred for the trauma resolution psychosensory therapy - Havening Techniques (HT).
This study will examine whether accelerated resolution therapy (ART) is effective for the treatment of prolonged and complicated grief and associated psychological trauma among older adult hospice caregivers who have experienced the death of an immediate family member at least 12 months ago.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on 2 types of patients' population suffering from chronic pain syndrome (Fibromyalgia): patients with history of psychological trauma and patients with history of traumatic brain injury.
On July 14, 2016, in Nice, children and their families were attacked by the organization "EI". In Nice, 86 deaths, including 10 children, the youngest at 4, were recorded. A number of children, still difficult to assess exactly but over 100, was bereaved. After a traumatic event, multiple clinical consequences may appear in children. Among these consequences, the most common is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The aim of the study is to characterize the psycho-social factors of risk and / or protection interfering in the children's future, following the mass trauma of 14 July 2016 in Nice on a sample of pediatric population exposed in comparison of children controls. Ancillary study, entilted "The Physalis Child", prospectively observe the presence or not of non-psychotic acousto-verbal hallucinations (AVH) in the population with PTSD from the "Program 14-7". The main objective of this ancillary study will be to identify factors of social and emotional cognition linked to the presence of non-psychotic HAV within the cohort of children exposed to the mass trauma of July 14, 2016 in Nice but also to any type of individual trauma. Ancillary study, entilted "trail of the 14 July attack", prospectively observe the risk of traumatic reactivation.
The terrorist attack on the ram truck, which occurred on 14 July 2016 on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, involved a significant number of casualties in the civilian population: 86 dead including 10 children and adolescents, and 434 wounded. The attack harmed families gathered for a festive event, the national holiday fireworks, and affected both adults and children of all ages. The people directly involved in the attack number in the thousands: wounded, threatened with death, bereaved, direct witnesses, workers - including firefighters and health personnel (in situations of prolonged extreme tension or insecurity). Following the attacks in Ile-de-France in January and November 2015, Public Health France conducted in 2015 and 2016 two large-scale studies to estimate the psycho-traumatic impact for those involved in the attack, to know the use of care devices to provide useful information, and ultimately provide information to improve the management devices in place. IMPACTS carried out following the attacks of January, ESPA 13 November carried out following the attacks of 13 November 2015, relate to two main types of population: - Non-responders (civilian population) present on or near scenes of crime or their relatives. - Persons intervened to secure the premises or provide assistance, or provide psychological support the same day or within 3 weeks. IMPACTS was conducted face-to-face with investigators and concerned 232 participants, 45 people of the medico-psychological relief (Samu, Cump, Hôtel Dieu) between 6 and 10 months after the events. A second wave of interviews took place from 16 to 20 months after the events. ESPA 13th November took place via a web-based questionnaire and 800 participants took part, including 67 CUMPs, 121 hospital staff and 26 people from Samu between 9 and 12 months after the events. Based on the expertise of Public Health France and the model developed for the ESPA study on November 13th, the Public Health Department of the University Hospital of Nice wished to carry out a specific study among the health professionals of the University Hospital of Nice and the Hospitals pediatrics of Nice CHU-Lenval, as well as students of the Faculty of Medicine of Nice Sophia-Antipolis. Many professionals of all categories were directly impacted: either at the scene of the attack as a civilian population or as professionals, or in the care services that received the victims and families (including services of the Pasteur2 hospital, Lenval Hospital on the Promenade des Anglais). The population of medical students is also included in the study, and external students in particular have made a significant contribution to the Institut Médico-Légal. This involvement could be done directly (presence as hospital staff at the scene of the attack, care of the victims or their relatives, in the emergency and care services), but also indirect (close and knowledge affected by the attack, specific repercussions in the local context, forced changes in the organization of work). It is therefore all hospital professionals, medical students (external, internal) and paramedical students who will be involved in the study.
This study aims to identify unusual experiences and psychiatric symptoms that indicate a heightened risk for severe mental disorders - especially psychoses. It is important to develop reliable questionnaire methods that are cost-effective in first-stage screening, leading to in-depth assessments and targeted care. However, existing psychosis-risk questionnaires are limited in content, intended for adults, and have been insufficiently tested for actual predictive value. Therefore we will collect a new, large dataset from an unselected group of adolescents entering psychiatric care in three major urban areas of Finland. Comprehensive national health care registers will be used to assess how well the selected experiences and symptoms predict the participants' mental health over the following few years.
