Filter by:This study aims to examine whether multiple spaced sessions of intermittent theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (iTBS) induce anti-depressant responses and reduce opiate cravings in adults with opiate use disorder (OUD). Additionally, we hope to identify whether the effectiveness of iTBS is related to changes in functional connectivity between particular brain areas.
This multi-site, double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled mechanistic trial aims to test the effects of Magnus Neuromodulation System (MNS) with Stanford Accelerated Intermittent Neuromodulation Therapy (SAINT®) Technology on the neural circuitry of suicidal cognitions in psychiatrically hospitalized patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and active suicidal ideation (SI). This will be accomplished by applying the MNS with SAINT to a customized target within the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (L-DLPFC) identified with fMRI for five consecutive days and measuring resting-state functional connectivity (RS FC) between the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC) and the default mode network (DMN) at baseline and immediate-post visit. The relationship between changes in RS FC and changes in both Explicit and Implicit Suicidal Cognitions (ESC and ISC, respectively) will be determined. This study will also determine the relationship between changes in RS FC in neural networks underlying mediators of suicidal cognitions and changes in such mediators with active versus sham SAINT.
The purpose of this project is to develop and test a family-based preventive intervention for suicide risk among 1st and 2nd generation immigrant Latino/a adolescents. The intervention will focus on reducing suicide risk by reducing family conflict and intergenerational cultural conflict and improving parent-child communication. The investigators will first develop the 8-session preventive intervention with quantitative data from analysis of existing longitudinal studies and qualitative feedback from Latino youth and their caregivers, clinicians, administrators, and research consultants, as well as results from initial pilot testing of the intervention. The investigators will then conduct a pilot randomized trial with 40 adolescents and their families to test feasibility, acceptability, and impact on intervention targets. Successful development of the intervention would improve mental health outcomes for a growing and underserved portion of the U.S. population.
SIMmersion, in collaboration with the Institute for Family Health (IFH) and the Educational Development Center (EDC) propose to develop a web-based training product, Suicide Prevention Role-plays for Interactive Training (SPiRIT), a series of 4 modules to train providers to more effectively manage patients who screen positive for risk of suicide in this Phase I/Phase II fast-track application. If funded, the team will develop the Risk Assessment module in Phase I and utilize a within group pre-post design to evaluate its feasibility. Twenty practicing clinicians will be recruited to utilize the module and complete a pre-post knowledge test. In Phase II, the team will develop Safety Planning, Access to Lethal Means, and Willingness to Accept a Referral modules. The efficacy of the product to positively influence patient outcomes will be tested with a Historically Controlled Trial (HCT) enlisting 65 practicing clinicians across five IFH sites. All providers will be trained and patient outcomes will be tracked for 6 months post training. This data set will be compared to 6 months of historical data for the same provider group. Primary outcomes of this study will measure the participants' ability in obtain improved patient outcomes related to: 1) rate of same-day C-SSRS Screening; 2) rate of suicide being added to the problem list; 3) rate of same-day safety planning; 4) rate of same day C-SSRS Lifeline/Recent Completion; 5) rate of same-day Risk Assessment; 6) rate of acceptance and attendance to within-Institute referrals for post intervention patients who are offered the referral at the first visit; 7) and lower rates of documented suicide attempts. Ultimately, the development and successful testing of this product would provide the US health care system a novel technology to scale up a clinician's confidence and skill to better manage patients who identify as at-risk for suicide. Additionally, if effective, this product will have a direct impact on patient outcomes, a vital component to any training product that attempts to train health care professionals. The utility and scalability of the proposed product will move health care systems toward the goal of zero deaths from suicide consistent with the Zero suicide approach.
This study will enroll patients presenting to the emergency department with acute suicidal ideation meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients will be randomized to one of three arms: ketamine (intervention) or diphenhydramine (control) or placebo (control). Serial measurements will be made in the ED and at follow-up intervals.
The purpose of the study is to test whether cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) offered by trained therapists, to people with current active suicidal ideations, is efficacious as a secondary prevention strategy in Sri Lanka, when compared with treatment as usual provided by Medical Officers (Mental Health; MO (MH)) of government hospitals
