Active clinical trials for "Anxiety Disorders"

The purpose of this study is to use brain imaging technology to investigate brain changes in people exposed to predictable versus unpredictable unpleasant stimuli. Unpleasant events that can be predicted evoke a response of fear, whereas unpredictable, unpleasant stimuli cause chronic anxiety not associated with a specific event. Information gained from this study may help in the development of more effective treatments for anxiety disorders. When confronted with fearful events, people eventually develop fear of specific cues that were associated with these events as well as to the environmental context in which the fearful event occurred. Evidence suggests that cued fear and contextual fear model different aspects of anxiety. However, studies that examine the way the brain affects expression of contextual fear have not been conducted. This study will use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or Magneto-encephalography (MEG) to compare the brain activity underlying fear brought on by predictable and unpredictable aversive stimuli.

This thesis study was conducted in an unblinded, randomized controlled experimental manner in order to analyze the effect of attention-drawing methods that can be used during intramuscular injection in children on pain and anxiety.

The study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental research to examine the effect of nature sounds and music on vital signs and anxiety levels of hemodialysis patients. The study was conducted between September 6, 2019 and March 21, 2020 with 75 patients who received treatment in the hemodialysis units of three hospitals, one university, one education research and one state hospital in Antalya province, met the inclusion criteria and consented to participate in the study. Patients were homogenously divided into intervention (nature sound group n=25 and music group n=25) and control (n=25) groups on the basis of age, gender and hemodialysis duration. Patients in the intervention group were subjected to nature sounds/music during the hemodialysis procedure, while patients in the control group were not subjected to any intervention during the procedure. The data were collected by face-to-face interview technique using the "Descriptive Characteristics Form", "Vital Signs Monitoring Form", "State Anxiety Inventory" and "Trait Anxiety Inventory". Ethics committee approval, institutional permissions and written consent of the patients were obtained for the implementation of the study. Number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum, the the Shapiro Wilk normality test, One-Way Analysis of Variance, Chi-Square tests, the Kruskal Wallis test, Dunn-Bonferroni test, Tukey HSD, Three-Way Analysis of Variance and Bonferroni Corrected Two Ratio Z test were employed in the evaluation of the data.

Background: To evaluate the effect of the anxiety of a parent accompanying a child on the child's anxiety during treatment. Methods: Parents of 160 patients (4-8 years old) were divided into two groups anxious and non-anxious. Each groups had separated two randomized subgroups that with/without parents accompanied their children. At the first visit, participating children were examined while the behavior of the child during the examination was evaluated by a single pediatric dentist according to their heart rates measured by a portable pulse oximeter and the data were recorded (objective data).Forty-two children with a score of 1 and 4 on the Frankel Scale were excluded. After the parents were divided into two groups, anxious and non-anxious, the groups were equally divided randomly and the parents accompanied their children during the treatment. Patients were recalled after one week for the treatment visit. Both groups were evaluated using the basic behavior technique. Compomer fillings were performed on children with infiltration anesthesia. The children's heart rates were measured by a portable pulse oximeter during treatment. Finally, the children were asked to express how they felt about the treatment by pointing out one of the faces on the Wong-Baker Faces Scale (subjective data). The children also rated the experience on the Frankel scale administered by the same operator.

Caregivers of adults with dementia report higher stress, including anxiety and depressive symptoms, burden, and existential suffering, than caregivers of people with other chronic diseases.

This study aims to investigate the effect of music listening on patients who will have Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography Procedure on vital signs, anxiety, and pain. This will be a randomized controlled experimental study. The study will be conducted with two groups: the intervention group (n=35) and the control group (n=35). The control group will receive standard care while the intervention group, in addition to standard care, will be listened to music by the researchers for 15 minutes before the procedure.

This study aims to investigate the effect of Traditional Turkish Military music on patients who will have Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography Procedure on vital signs, anxiety, and pain. This will be a randomized controlled experimental study. The study will be conducted with two groups: the intervention group (n=36) and the control group (n=36). The control group will receive standard care while the intervention group, in addition to standard care, will be listened to Traditional Turkish Military music, which consists of music selected by an expert on the type of music, by the researchers for 15 minutes before the procedure.

Paediatric immunization is often associated with significant fear and anxiety among children and their parents. Their distress can greatly affect their future adherence to the immunization schedule and the acceptance of recommended vaccines by physicians. This pilot was a single-centre, open label, randomised controlled trial to examine the use of VR analgesia in childhood immunization in primary care.The study primarily aimed to determine the feasibility of using immersive virtual reality (VR) during immunization in children by assessing the response rate of the participants during recruitment. The secondary outcome of the study was to determine the effectiveness of immersive VR in alleviating pain and anxiety among children during immunization compared to usual care without VR. It also aimed to determine the effectiveness of immersive VR in reducing anxiety among the parents and nurses during immunization procedure.

H1a: Between the women receiving discharge training with the PechaKucha method by using smartphones and the women taking the routine discharge training in the early postpartum period, there is a statistically significant difference in the discharge readiness levels. H1b: Between the women receiving discharge training with the PechaKucha method by using smartphones and the women taking the routine discharge training in the early postpartum period, there is a statistically significant difference in the anxiety levels. H0a: Between the women receiving discharge training with the PechaKucha method by using smartphones and the women taking the routine discharge training in the early postpartum period, there is no statistically significant difference in the discharge readiness levels. H0b: Between the women receiving discharge training with the PechaKucha method by using smartphones and the women taking the routine discharge training in the early postpartum period, there is no statistically significant difference in the anxiety levels.

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of secondary prevention education given to individuals after acute myocardial infarction on physiological parameters, anxiety and quality of life.
