Active clinical trials for "Anxiety Disorders"

This pilot project will evaluate the potential of an affordable smartphone app to improve users' mental well-being.

Method: . Forty patients with general anxiety disorder will be randomized in 1:1 ratio to the online resource plus usual care, and to usual care control group by stratified block randomization. Measurements including 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder questionnaire, 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire, Penn State Worry questionnaire, and Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire will be made at baseline and at 2-month. Rate of recruitment, drop out and website usage will be collected. All patients in the intervention arm will be interviewed to assess the clarity of the app and user experience. The scores between the two arms will be compared by t-test and the transcripts of the patient interviews will be analysed using thematic analysis

The purpose of this research is to test the feasibility of an intervention using biofeedback to treat stress and anxiety among individuals with tetraplegia. The expected duration of participation in this study is about 5 hours over the course of about 5 weeks. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a biofeedback training intervention or a control group. After completing questionnaires, participants will undergo physiological monitoring for the purpose of measuring heart rate and breathing. Those assigned to the biofeedback group will undergo 20 minutes of physiological monitoring while also participating in biofeedback training twice a week for 4 weeks (8 sessions) from home. Those assigned to the control group will undergo 20 minutes of physiological monitoring twice a week for 4 weeks (8 sessions) from home, but will not receive biofeedback training. Each session is expected to last 30 minutes to allow for completion of questionnaires over the the phone prior to and following each training session. It is hypothesized that the biofeedback intervention will demonstrate high feasibility and compared to those in the control group, participants who receive the biofeedback intervention will attain greater pre-post reductions in both physiological and self-reported stress.

The present project aims to broaden our understanding of neural mechanisms which may underlie change in symptoms occurring over the course of Emotion Regulation Therapy. Specifically, we aim to examine neural changes as a result of either an 8-session or 16-session version of the treatment.

The goal of this pilot study is to test the Mindful Recovery OBOT Care Continuum (M-ROCC) model in primary care office-based opioid treatment (OBOT). M-ROCC features integration of evidence-based mindfulness training with weekly group-based opioid treatment. Primary outcomes include (1) Feasibility measured by implementation of the curriculum into two CHA primary care sites and attendance at weekly sessions; (2) Acceptance via self-report and qualitative interviews. Secondary outcomes include anxiety reduction.

With the recent availability of vortioxetine, and the surging phenomenon of cannabis misuses amongst young abusers, it is a timely opportunity to conduct an early pharmacotherapy intervention study to offer an evidence-based strategy aiming to stop individuals with cannabis use disorders with depressive or anxiety symptoms, to develop into a more chronic disabling dependence or co-morbid state.

The investigators propose a pilot study to examine the feasibility of utilizing immersive virtual reality to reduce procedural anxiety in children undergoing non-facial laceration repair in the Pediatric Emergency Department. The investigators hypothesize that virtual reality will be well-received by patients and their caregivers, and that the anxiety provoked by laceration repair will be mitigated by the immersive virtual reality experience.

Entering the hospital and waiting for surgery is a very stressful time for people. According to some studies, surgical interventions in children generate in family members concerns related to: anesthesia, fear of being harmed, penile injury, excessive pain, the death of their child, not being able to contain their own anxiety and, therefore, participants may have difficulties in assuming an active role in caring for their child . For these reasons, the investigators propose the development and implementation of an action program for the reduction of child pain and anxiety in parents in the foreign Muslim population residing in Spain.

Two-arm, parallel group randomized clinical trial conducted via Mturk comparing a single-session web-based intervention called Compassionate Care versus a control intervention (nature videos with relaxing music) for adults with moderate-to-severe stress, depression and/or anxiety symptoms.

Mood Lifters is a revolutionary mental wellness program that teaches scientifically validated strategies in a supportive group setting. This study will test two new versions of the program designed specifically for graduate students and young professionals. Participants will need to attend 12 hour long virtual weekly meetings on Zoom that focus on helpful mental health strategies and skills. Participants will be encourage to practice what the participants learn at home in order to improve their mood or mental wellness. Additionally, participants will complete a series of measures (approx. 1-1.5 hours) prior to, at the end of the program, 1 month after the program and 6 months after the program.
