To assess the wear of Zirconia-PEEK versus cobalt-chromium-PEEK telescopic attachments for implant retained complete mandibular overdenture. The wear of Zirconia-PEEK telescopic attachments can affect the retention of implant retained complete mandibular overdenture.
The aim of this study is to investigate the role FKBP5 DNA methylation levels in patients suffering from complex posttraumatic stress disorder, who participated in a 12-weeks disorder-specific DBT-PTSD inpatient treatment. DNA methylation levels were measured before and after completing DBT-PTSD.
The aim of this study is to show that early identification of PTSD and CPTSD would increase recognition of these disorders and facilitate diagnosis, referral and recovery.
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a significant public health challenge with population prevalence rates in the US between 6.1 to 9.2%. There are large racial and socioeconomic inequities in access to PTSD treatment, as up to half (30-50%) of patients in safety net clinical settings meet criteria for PTSD, yet only 13% receive any behavioral health treatment. Workforce shortages are one major barrier to accessing care. Additional barriers to care can include heightened mental health stigma and mistrust of health services. Digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) may be suitable within the continuum of care for PTSD in hospital settings, given their potential for rapid-access, scalability, and the high acceptability of DMHI among individuals with high stigma and social needs. Among the available DMHIs for PTSD, the investigators have selected web-administered Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation (webSTAIR), based on emerging scientific evidence and a close collaboration with Boston Medinal Center (BMC) users (patients and providers) in a previous pilot study in primary care. The aim of this randomized study is to implement webSTAIR at BMC in the Recovery from Stress and Trauma through Outpatient Care, Research, and Education (RESTORE) Center's subspecialty clinic.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about the effectiveness of a prescription wrist-wearable device called NightWare (NW) on improving sleep in Veterans with nightmares related to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The investigators also want to learn whether it improves cardiovascular health among this population.
EMDR is a psychotherapy method utilized for treating psychological traumas, with the Flash technique being one of its quickest and most effective methods. The "Self-Therapy" mobile application, accessible via Apple Store and Google Play, enables users to self-administer the Flash technique, following specific guidelines to help reduce symptoms like depression, anxiety, and stress linked to traumatic memories. Designed for adults over 18, particularly those diagnosed with mental health disorders, it is advised to be used under a psychiatrist's guidance. The application features a virtual guide, an avatar named Therapist Yağmur, who assists users through the process, including relaxation exercises and progress tracking. This allows users to pause and resume therapy as needed. Such applications represent a significant advancement in remote psychological support, potentially increasing access to psychotherapy and fostering societal acceptance of psychological health services.
This open label, within-subjects dose optimization trial will investigate the optimal number of MDMA-Assisted Therapy treatment cycles (i.e., one MDMA session and three integration sessions) in a sample of U.S. veterans with PTSD. Participants will complete from one to five cycles of MDMA-AT.
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common and debilitating mental illness. Current treatments for PTSD include psychotherapy and antidepressant medications. Many patients are unable to tolerate psychotherapy for PTSD and drop out of it. In addition, its effectiveness is limited. Up to 50 percent of patients who receive psychotherapy do not benefit from it. Antidepressant medications have only small benefits in PTSD. They also have unpleasant side effects that can make patients unwilling to take them. There is an urgent need to develop new treatments for PTSD that work and are well-tolerated. Silexan has the potential to provide an important alternative treatment for PTSD. Silexan is derived from lavender oil. It is taken orally in the form of capsules. It is currently available over-the-counter in 14 countries, including Australia and the United States. Previous research has shown that it is an effective treatment for anxiety disorders, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder. It is also well-tolerated by patients. The only side effects that have been identified so far are mild gastrointestinal symptoms (including burping and breath odour) and these are uncommon. The results of a small pilot study suggest that Silexan may also be effective and well-tolerated in PTSD. The STOP trial is a clinical trial that aims to investigate whether adding Silexan to treatment-as-usual improves PTSD symptoms in adults with PTSD. The trial will recruit 224 participants. Participants will be randomly assigned to take Silexan or a placebo (look-alike dummy pills) daily in addition to their usual medications for 12 weeks. The severity of their PTSD symptoms will be assessed prior to and at the end of this 12-week period. The STOP trial has the potential to obtain definitive evidence regarding whether Silexan helps treat symptoms of PTSD. If Silexan is found to be an effective treatment for PTSD, the pool of patients who could potentially benefit from this treatment includes any adults with PTSD. Silexan is already available over-the-counter at a relatively low cost so there will be few barriers to accessing this treatment.
The proposed open-label, controlled study at the Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research (CPCR) will test the following primary hypotheses in adult patients with chronic PTSD who are currently taking a serotonin reuptake inhibitor: psilocybin therapy will be feasible and safe for participants, significantly remediate PTSD symptoms, and enhance wellbeing and quality of life. In addition, the study will examine whether elements of evidence-based trauma-focused psychotherapy enhance treatment response when paired with psilocybin.
