Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of an evidence-based system to recommend core interventions, before the beginning of treatment, to psychotherapists treating low-income patients with depressive or anxiety disorders.
This project is designed to determine if a computer-delivered cognitive-behavioral treatment can improve the otherwise poor alcohol use disorder treatment outcomes for individuals with a co-occurring anxiety disorder. In the past, the investigators showed that this treatment does improve outcomes for these individuals when delivered by a therapist. If the present work shows that the computer-delivered version is also effective, it would provide an inexpensive program with virtually unlimited scalability to enable access to the treatment by many more individuals than is currently the case.
This study evaluates the safety and tolerability of PH94B with repeated dosing over a period of up to 12 months. Participating subjects will use PH94B up to 4 times a day when they encounter anxiety-provoking situations in daily life. Safety and tolerability of PH94B (≤ 4 doses per day up to 12 months) will be assessed and summarized during monthly visits from baseline (Visit 2) to end of treatment (Visit 14) in AEs, laboratory values, 12-lead ECGs, physical examinations, and vital sign assessments following exposure to PH94B.
The present study wish to compare the preliminarily effects and feasibility of Modified Collaborative Assessment (MCA) - a novel therapeutic approach to diagnostic assessment - with assessment-as-usual among patients with evasiveness as a core psychopathological feature in a randomised controlled study design.
The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical efficacy of treatment using gaze contingent music reward therapy (GC-MRT) with attention control treatment based on a similar paradigm, for social anxiety disorder (SAD)
The aim of this randomized, controlled study is to examine an internet delivered, self-help program for social anxiety based on psychodynamic therapy. The study will compare three conditions: the psychodynamic program with therapist support, without therapist support and a waitlist control.
This Phase 3 clinical trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the acute administration of 3.2 µg of PH94B to relieve symptoms of anxiety in adult subjects with social anxiety disorder (SAD) during an induced public speaking challenge. Subject participation in the Study will last a total of 3 to 7 weeks, depending on the duration of the screening period and intervals between visits. Upon signing an informed consent, all subjects will complete Visit 1 (Screening) and enter a screening period lasting between 3 and 35 days. If subjects meet all eligibility criteria at the end of the screening period, subjects will return for Visit 2 and self-administer the nasal spray and then participate in a 5 minute public speaking challenge. During the public speaking challenge, the subject will be asked for their anxiety score, which will be recorded by a trained observer. At Visit 3, the subjects will undergo the same public speaking procedure once again as they did in Visit 2. One week after the completion of the Visit 3 public speaking challenge, the subject will come back for Visit 4 (Follow-up) that will involve a repeat of the safety and psychiatric assessments conducted at Screening.
This study developed an online counseling program called "EASE Online" for Hong Kong people with social anxiety disorder. The program effectiveness was evaluated by a randomized controlled trial in reducing social anxiety and improving quality of life of the participants. The 3- and 6-month maintenance effects were also tested.
Social anxiety often reaches its peak during adolescence and may hold a noteworthy impact both at the social and academic levels. Though some adolescents easily learn to adequately cope with it, others become overwhelmed by social fears and end up avoiding social events or facing them with intense suffering. Adolescents with social anxiety disorder (SAD) seldom seek professional help and often become adults with SAD, making it necessary to timely intervene during early stages of the disorder and determine what works better, why, and for whom when trying to change the course of social anxiety in adolescence. Cognitive therapy (CT) has been the treatment of choice for adult SAD, but research within adolescent samples is scarce. More recently, third-wave cognitive approaches, namely compassion-focused therapy (CFT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), have also proven effective in treating mental disorders, but their efficacy towards adolescents' SAD remains unclear. This research project intended to evaluate and compare the therapeutic efficacy of CT, CFT, and ACT as applied to adolescents with SAD, in comparison with waiting-listed, after intervention and over a 12-weeks and a 24-weeks follow-up, using a randomized parallel trial approach. This methodology will allow to test if intervened subjects diverge from the non-intervened SAD subjects, and if therapeutic change differs across intervention conditions. Therapeutic change process will be investigated, specifically if efficacy is mediated by change in the core constructs of each theoretical framework. Finally, moderators of change such the initial level of symptomology will be examined, as to determine which intervention works best for whom. The same procedures will be repeated for each intervention condition, namely recruitment, intervention, and assessment. This research will provide evidence on which form of therapy may be the optimal choice in to intervene in SAD in general, and when dealing with diverse specific vulnerabilities associated with social fears. It will also add to the field of empirically validated therapies, with a specific focus on adolescence. From a societal perspective, the project will assist in empowering schools to contribute to shape how their students act and develop into socially apt adults.
Primary objectives: The primary objective is to ascertain if trigeminal nerve stimulation is an effective treatment with high tolerability for patients with panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety disorder.
