Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to develop a new behavioral treatment for U.S. combat veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), very brief exposure to combat-related stimuli. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. How does Very Brief Exposure (combat images and control everyday images) and Visible Exposure to combat stimuli affect brain activity and subjective fear ratings? 2. To what extent are participants aware of the stimuli presented and tolerating the exposures? All participants will view both very brief exposure and visible exposure to combat stimuli in the functional magnetic brain imaging (fMRI) scan. They will provide ratings of fear, awareness, and tolerability. Researchers will compare U.S. combat veterans with PTSD and healthy controls to confirm differences in brain region activation and ratings.
This study is evaluating the safety and efficacy of methylone in adults with PTSD. The study is conducted in two parts. - Part A is open-label and will enroll up to 15 participants with PTSD - Part B is randomized (1:1), double-blind, placebo-controlled and will enroll up to 64 participants with PTSD Eligible participants will enter a 3-week Treatment Period where they will receive methylone (or placebo in Part B) once weekly for 3 weeks (3 treatment sessions). Following the Treatment Period, participants will enter a 6-week Follow-up Period.
The purpose of this research is to determine if a brief treatment method is effective for preventing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and a number of other concerns following injury.
The goal of this cross-sectional observational study is to analyze childbirth-related PTSD, traumatic birth experiences and stress symptoms postpartum. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the prevalence of traumatic birth experiences, PTSD and stress symptoms in a Swedish postnatal sample? - What are the risk factors for postnatal mental ill-health? Additional goals are to make cross-cultural translations of the instruments City BiTS and Birth Satisfaction Scale - Revised. Participants will answer an online surveys including several instruments measuring postnatal stress and mental ill-health.
The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) Research Institute is performing this research to accelerate diverse disease research using cells from the body (such as skin or blood cells) to make stem cells and other types of cells, conduct research on the samples, perform genetic testing, and store the samples for future use. Through this research, researchers hope to identify future treatments or even cures for the major diseases of our time.
Leveraging veterans' intimate relationships during treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has the potential to concurrently improve PTSD symptoms and relationship quality. Brief Cognitive-Behavioral Conjoint Therapy (bCBCT) is a manualized treatment designed to simultaneously improve PTSD and relationship functioning for couples in which one partner has PTSD. Although efficacious in improving PTSD, the effects of CBCT on relationship satisfaction are small, especially among Veterans. Pharmacological augmentation of bCBCT with intranasal oxytocin, a neurohormone that influences mechanisms of trauma recovery and social behavior, may help improve the efficacy of bCBCT. The purpose of this randomized placebo-controlled trial is to compare the clinical and functional outcomes of bCBCT augmented with intranasal oxytocin (bCBCT + OT) versus bCBCT plus placebo (bCBCT + PL). The investigators will also explore potential mechanisms of action: communication, empathy, and trust.
The RSI-LTO study collects long-term outcomes from the RSI trial (NCT05277896). One-third of adults who are intubated in the ED or ICU experience symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD is a psychiatric disorder triggered by a "shocking, scary, or dangerous event." Critical illness, tracheal intubation, and mechanical ventilation can be traumatic and distressing events. Patients may recall the intubation procedure, the feeling of the breathing tube in their throat, or being unable to move ("paralyzed"). While on the breathing machine, patients may experience delirium, frightening hallucinations, and delusions. Patients with PTSD after critical illness can be hypervigilant, anxious, and troubled by intrusive thoughts, nightmares, and flashbacks that last months to years after critical illness and that PTSD negatively impacts patients' marriages, work, and quality of life and increases patients' risk of depression, anxiety, substance use disorder, and suicide. Ketamine may prevent PTSD symptoms by blocking the pathways in the brain's glutaminergic system that are responsible for the formation of traumatic memories In outpatients with chronic PTSD, a single dose of ketamine has been shown to reduce PTSD symptoms for up to 2 weeks. Even a modest reduction in PTSD would translate into tens of thousands of fewer cases of PTSD each year, more cases of PTSD each year than any other medical intervention evaluated to date.
The current study is designed to measure the role of cognitive behavior therapy with PTSD patients. There are following objectives of this current study, such as 1. To examine the efficacy of CBT to overcome the severity level of PTSD and associated psychiatric problems. 2. To change negative thought patterns and dysfunctional cognition into functional thoughts and beliefs. 3. To build up social support, enhance the quality of life and refine mental health among patients with PTSD. 4. To check outs the association of PTSD with depression, intimate partner violence stigma, marital adjustment, and abuse. 5. This study would examine the efficacy of CBT to treat the severity of PTSD and associated problems (i.e. depressive symptoms, adjustment problems & discrimination) among women victims of domestic violence in shelter homes
The VA wants to understand what type of integrative and whole health approaches are helpful for Veterans. The study is comparing two primary care based mental health treatments, a mindfulness class that teaches mindfulness meditation and a problem-solving class that teaches problem-solving skills and how to build resilience, for Veterans who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and/or PTSD. The goal of the study is to understand if the classes reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and/or PTSD and increase overall functioning.
This study is testing the usefulness of two types of Brain Health & Wellness classes for Veterans with a history of concussion to improve mental health.
