Active clinical trials for "Anxiety Disorders"

The hypothesis is that there is a significant difference in anxiety scores between intervention and usual care group after intervention. The aim of this randomised trial is (I) to determine the type of anxiety in ICD patients and (ii) to investigate the effect of screening followed by randomisation to intervention with consultations based on cognitive therapeutic principals to reduce anxiety in patients with ICD or usual care.

This clinical trial is an investigator-initiated open label study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sTMS in subjects with Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

This study is to find out about whether two sessions of psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy are safe and will help people who are anxious as a result of having stage IV melanoma and will involve two sessions of psychotherapy combined with either 4 or 25 mg psilocybin. The study will measure anxiety, depression, quality of life and spirituality before and after psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy, natural killer cells (a type of immune cell) will be counted from blood samples taken the day after psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy, and people will keep daily diaries reporting on how anxious they feel for each day in the study.

The purpose of this study is to use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in healthy controls to examine the acute effects of certain anxiolytic medications on brain function. In this case, the medication pregabalin will be used. The investigators hypothesize that pregabalin (at doses of 50 mg and 200 mg, versus placebo) will yield a reduction in amygdala and insula activity (in a dose-dependent fashion) during emotion processing using fMRI.

The purpose of this study is to use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in healthy controls to examine the acute effects of certain anxiolytic medications on brain function.

Evidence suggests the use of neuroimaging to detect therapeutic effects of anxiolytic treatment when appropriate cognitive-emotional tasks are use to activate the emotional brain neurocircuitry believed to be involved in the core symptoms of the disease.

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a short-term family-based program for preventing anxiety disorders in at-risk children.

No substantial clinical trials of Cannabidiol (CBD) in Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) have yet been conducted. This randomized doubleblind, placebo-controlled trial of CBD in adults with SAD will evaluate the efficacy, tolerability and safety of CBD oil (CHI-902) in SAD. In addition, the effects of treatment with CHI-902 on the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) will be assessed by evaluating peripheral endocannabinoids (Arachidonoylethanolamide/Anandamide (AEA) and 2-Arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG)) before and after treatment.

Different non-pharmacological techniques, including hypnosis and virtual reality are currently used as complementary tools in the treatment of pain related to burn injury. A new technique called 'virtual reality hypnosis' (VRH) (Patterson et al., 2004), which encompasses a combination of both tools, is regularly used although its actual function remains unknown to this date. With the goal to improve our understanding of VRH combination effects, it is necessary to elaborate randomized and controlled research studies in order to understand their actual function in individual's perception. 100 patients who are treated as outpatients for burn care will be randomly assigned to virtual reality or VRH. Patients will receive one session of one of these techniques during burn dressing change.Physiological parameters will be recorded during dressing change. Participants will fill in a questionnaire evaluating their tendency to be absorbed and dissociated, and another evaluating their level of perceived immersion. Their level of anxiety, pain, fatigue and relaxation will be evaluated before and after the session. A short interview will also be conducted to give participants the opportunity to openly describe their experience.

The patients were randomized into "Bathe" and "Control" groups by using the closed envelope technique. Demographic data and pre-examination anxiety scores State- Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) are recorded as entrance STAI for all patients. Then they had routine preoperative evaluation. During these procedures, Bathe method was applied to the Bathe Group whereas it was not applied to the Control Group. After that post-examination, STAI scores were recorded as exit STAI and the patients were later asked questions about their contentment.
