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.
This research study was designed to investigate the use of a simple cognitive task for decreasing the number of intrusive memories of traumatic events experienced by refugees and asylum seekers with a diagnosis of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) currently living in the UK. The intervention included a memory reminder cue, a 10-minute time gap and then around 20 minutes playing the mobile phone game Tetris, using mental rotation instructions. The study had a multiple baseline case-series design (AB), with a randomised duration of baseline length up to three weeks. Thus, participants completed a no-intervention phase of up to three weeks, followed by an intervention phase. Please see the intervention section for more details about the intervention sessions. Follow ups were conducted after each week to monitor the frequency of intrusive memories of trauma in a pen-and-paper diary. It was predicted that participants would report fewer intrusive memories after receiving the intervention than in the preceding baseline phase.

The purpose of the study "Stress, Emotion Regulation, and Alcohol in Women Veterans" is to learn about the effects of negative emotion and stress on behavior (including alcohol use) among women Veterans, including women with and without posttraumatic stress disorder. Additionally, the study looks at whether a woman's use of emotion regulation techniques changes the association between stress or negative emotion and behavior. Lastly, the study examines how women's reactions to stress, and the effects of stress, vary across the menstrual cycle - depending on the level of circulating hormones.
Repeated exposure to trauma is an unavoidable part of the job for firefighters. Because of this, many Canadian firefighters screen positive for posttraumatic stress disorder/injury (PTSD/I). Unfortunately, like the general population, firefighters face many barriers to accessing mental health care. As a result, additional efforts are needed to increase timely access to effective PTSD/I services that are delivered in a way that reduces confidentiality and stigma risk. This research study will test the preliminary efficacy and feasibility of distance-delivered Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) delivered by a paraprofessional for firefighters with PTSD/I. NET is an evidence-based intervention approach developed specifically for PTSD/I resulting from repeated and continuous trauma. The intervention will be conducted via videoconference with a trained paraprofessional supervised by a clinical psychologist. The NET intervention will consist of 12 weekly 90-minute videoconference sessions. Approximately 25 firefighters will be recruited to participate in the study. To test the efficacy of the intervention, participants will complete self-report questionnaires about PTSD/I and other mental health symptoms pre- and post-intervention as well as two- and six-months following intervention completion. Participants will also complete an open-ended interview at the end of the intervention to assess feasibility and participant satisfaction.
Parents of neurodiverse children are more likely to experience traumatic events related to the care of their child/children. This increases the probability to experience Posttraumatic Stress Injury (PTSI). However, interventions addressing PTSI symptoms in parents are rare. In this research project the study investigators will test the feasibility and efficacy of e-NET, a distance-delivered, exposure-based intervention for PTSI adapted to the needs of parents of neurodiverse children. E-NET is an adapted version of the Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET), an evidence-based intervention approach for individuals with PTSI who have experienced repeated or continuous trauma. The intervention will be conducted via videoconferencing with trained paraprofessionals. During the intervention a narrative of both positive and negative (traumatic) experiences in the parents' life will be created. The intervention contains approx. 12 one-on-one sessions with a trained paraprofessional via videoconferencing. The study design is a waitlist control group design. Approx. 20 participants will receive e-NET directly after the baseline survey and 20 participants will receive e-NET approx. 3 months after the baseline survey. To test the efficacy of the intervention, participants will fill out surveys about PTSI and other mental health symptoms before, directly after, and 2 and 6 months after the intervention. Adverse events and distress will be assessed in every session. As part of the baseline, participants will complete the survey "Surviving and Thriving in Parenting Neurodiverse Children" to determine their eligibility for the intervention. Main eligibility criterion is the presence of PTSI symptoms.
The aim of this study is to investigate the levels of trauma and mental symptoms (i.e., depression and anxiety) among health workers and public service providers during the strict social distancing government-initiated non-pharmacological interventions (NPI's) related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The study also aims to investigate predictors of trauma-symptoms.
This project is being done to explore the effects floating has on individuals who have a history of trauma with stress related symptoms.
The overall objective of the proposed study is to determine if lofexidine (LFX) as an adjunct to buprenorphine (BUP) treatment improves symptoms of both opioid use disorder (OUD) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Other study objectives are to compare the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of BUP treatment alone, to BUP treatment with adjunct LFX, on measures of OUD and PTSD symptoms in Veterans with both prognosis .
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a set of symptoms that can be developed as a result of exposure to a traumatic event or events that can range in prevalence from 25% to 75%. While therapeutic management combines psychotherapy, drug therapy and social support, some PTSD remain resistant after early and appropriate initial treatment. In terms of physiopathology, several studies have shown that parasympathetic activity is significantly decreased in patients with PTSD. In scuba diving, the cardio-vascular stresses associated with submersion of the subject and the lungs due to breathing in a regulator are at the origin of a reflex activation of the parasympathetic nervous system. The objective is to study the effects of the scuba diving activities-induced autonomic parasympathetic nervous system activation on the symptomatic progression of patients with PTSD. The study population will consist of patients monitored and treated for PTSD following the attacks of 14/07/2016 in Nice (France).
