Active clinical trials for "Affective Symptoms"

Online study for patients with trichotillomania. 4 main hypothesis. Alexithymia and Trichotillomania correlated and regression analyses find association between them we will be able to find patient who have never been treated before. Those will suffer to the same amount as previously treated patients Decoupling will be more helpful than progressive muscle relaxation different constructs of emotion regulation will show different trait and state characteristics in patients with trichotillomania

A treatment to improve emotion regulation is tested in young patients with trauma-related mental disorder. The Electrical FingerPrint (EFP) from the amygdala is used for presenting patients with feedback (i.e. neurofeedback) from the amygdala, a brain region which plays a critical role in emotion and mental disorder. Via feedback, patients learn to self-regulate the neural circuit of emotion.

Despite advances in HIV/sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention, Black youth account for the largest number of new HIV infections among heterosexual youth. Having a mental illness contributes to HIV/STI risk among heterosexually active Black youth, as some use sex as a means to manage psychological distress, regulate emotions and receive validation or acceptance. Current intervention models focus on cognitive-behavioral strategies to reduce risk among adolescents; however, these approaches in isolation do not address the psychopathology that further potentiates risk behaviors among adolescents with mental illnesses. This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effects of "Project GOLD", a theoretically-driven, gender and culturally relevant, developmentally and psychologically appropriate HIV/STI risk reduction intervention on the sexual behaviors of Black male and female adolescents in Philadelphia (aged 14-17). In addition to evidence-based HIV/STI preventions strategies (e.g., role playing), Project GOLD includes unique emotion regulation content to address the relationship between psychological distress and HIV/STI risk behaviors. The research team approached and screened 704 adolescents. Eighty-two participated in the elicitation research activities (e.g., focus groups, intervention dress rehearsal). Another 173 underwent a structured demographic and mental health diagnostic interview to determine RCT eligibility. Project GOLD was then tested with 108 Black youth in comparison to a general health promotion control condition (intervention n = 52; control n = 56). Youth who were not in psychiatric treatment were also included, as the investigators hypothesized that they would also benefit from the targeted psychoeducational content; post-hoc analyses examined differences in the intervention effects based on whether or not youth were in psychiatric treatment. The intervention had high feasibility and acceptability. These findings underscore the need to encourage HIV/STI testing and risk reduction efforts among Black youth, including those with mental illnesses.

The investigators want to try the psycho educational method "The Affect School with Script Analysis and the physiotherapeutic mind-body therapy "Basal Body Awareness Therapy in patients with diabetes, high HbA1c and psychological symptoms, in order to improve psychological health- with the primary outcome reduced depression. Secondary outcomes are improved improved glycemic control and self-image, and reduced alexithymia and anxiety.

This study will examine the effects of Isha Kriya meditation on stress and burnout among healthcare providers.

In our study, we tested the hypothesis of the safe effect applicability of motor training in the immersion high-tech polymodal VR system not only on the parameters of balance, gait, and motor status of the patient, but also on his cognitive functions and mental health in patients with a degree of disability no more than 3 points on a scale Rankin.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of Family Nurture Intervention in a mother-child group setting with a Standard Children's Learning Center (CLC) Program for preschool-aged children (ages 2-4.5). This approach is based on creating emotional connection and establishing mother-child two-way regulation, which the investigators hypothesize affects early child development. Mothers and children will be engaged by Nurture Specialists in comforting and calming interactions to regulate each other physically-leading to an automatic calming response to contact with each other.

The purpose of this study is two-fold: 1) to examine the feasibility of the Drop-In model of Family Nurture Intervention (FNI); and 2) to collect pilot data concerning the mother's response to the Drop-In model of FNI and short term effects of participation. Feasibility of the Program will be measured through costs, staffing, space availability, and uptake. Participation in the Drop-In entails weekly visits for FNI. The investigators hypothesize that the Family Nurture Intervention will show feasibility through attendance and positive response to the Drop-In format. The investigators also expect the Family Nurture Intervention to improve mother's perceived well-being and mother-child emotional connection.

The purpose of this current study is to investigate the efficacy of a group model of Family Nurture Intervention in ameliorating behavioral problems in preschool-aged children. The behavioral, neurobiological and clinical insights gained from this project may eventually lead to better treatment of emotional, behavioral, and developmental disorders. The investigator hypothesizes that the children who are treated with Family Nurture Intervention (FNI), which incorporates interactive touch with vocal soothing, and family practice in comforting, will show increased emotional connection and mother child co-regulation with better results in the outcome measures in the short term and long term.

The Family Health and Development Project (FHDP) is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of the Intensive In-home Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Service (IICAPS) intervention, targeting emotionally, behaviorally, and/or psychiatrically disordered children at risk of a psychiatric inpatient admission and their families. Children and families are randomized to receive IICAPS or Home-based Child Treatment Coordination (Home-based CTC), a home-based case management intervention for coordination of mental health services for children. Approximately 144 children and their families will be enrolled for a 12 month study period. Data will be collected through interviews with the child's parent/legal guardian, and from the child's teacher, the child's school, and the Department of Social Services (claims data). This study will test the hypotheses that children receiving IICAPS will be less likely to exhibit out-of-control behaviors and less likely to experience a psychiatric hospitalization and/or out-of-home placement during and up to six months post-discharge from services.
