Active clinical trials for "Anxiety Disorders"

H1a: There is a statistically significant difference in anxiety levels between women who received woman-centered care in the early postpartum period and women who received standard care. H1b: There is a statistical difference in terms of comfort levels between women who received woman-centered care in the early postpartum period and women who received standard care. H0a: There is no statistically significant difference in anxiety levels between women who received woman-centered care in the early postpartum period and women who received standard care. H0b: There is no statistical difference in terms of comfort levels between women who receive female-centered care in the early postpartum period and women who receive standard care.

To evaluate the effect of virtual reality (VR) distraction on anxiety and pain during buccal infiltration anesthesia (BIA) in pediatric patients.

Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided prostate biopsy is a gold standard method widely used in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. This procedure can be very painful and anxious for men. Various pharmacological methods can be used to relieve patients' pain and discomfort during TRUS-guided prostate biopsy. Although there is still no consensus on the solution suggestions for pain and anxiety due to biopsy, it is known that music, which is a non-pharmacological method, is effective in this regard. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of music with structured verbal training on patients' pain, anxiety and satisfaction levels during transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy.

Adult patients aged 18-50 undergoing blood draw for routine lab evaluation will be randomized to a control group or experimental group to assess if the use of virtual reality reduces procedural pain (primary outcome) and procedural anxiety (secondary outcome) during venipuncture.

The Indian Ayurvedic herb Brahmi (Bacopa monniera) has been used to improve cognitive functions in Indian sub-continent for many years and previous intervention studies have shown positive effects of Brahmi on cognitive performance in adults. However, the studies are conducted on various fractions and extracts and there is high likelihood of variability of composition amongst the fractions/extracts tested in these studies. Furthermore, although the findings of the previous studies overlap to some extent, they are not consistent and there is a need to replicate these findings. Further, even though Brahmi has been studied for its chemical composition and its therapeutic benefits as a whole, there are still severe gaps with respect to the complete composition of the Brahmi plant or its extracts. No published data exist on the Pharmacokinetics (PK) properties of Brahmi components. Hitherto, the evidence and the mechanistic details are still speculative and the biological activity is still phenomenological. Because of this severe knowledge gap, this study will try to repeat the findings on cognitive performance and at the same time also explore the plasma levels of its components in order to initiate the understanding of ADME aspects and its linkages to the biological effect.

This study is taking place to examine the preliminary effects of improvisational therapy (improv group) on social anxiety for youth at the Youth Wellness Centre (YWC). The improv group will run for 12-weeks as a drop-in group. A typical session will begin with stretching, simple breathing and an activity to promote group cohesion. Following this, improvisation games and activities will be introduced with the goal of promoting the following skills: assertiveness, acceptance, problem solving, co-operate skills, non-verbal communication, mindfulness, and memory. Youth who consent to the study will be asked to complete a set of brief questionnaires the first time they attend one of the sessions. Youth who have attended at least 3 sessions will be asked again to complete questionnaires following the completion of week 12 session. Youth will also rate their anxiety and distress on a simple rating scale at the beginning and end of each session. Additionally, all participants (who have attended three or more sessions) will be invited to complete a 30 to 45 minute qualitative interview following the 12 week session. Participants are predicted to show a decrease in social anxiety, generalized anxiety and depression symptoms, and an increase in self-esteem, and perceived social support.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and feasibility of virtual reality for anxiety treatment in mechanically ventilated patients.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of an online program in reducing symptoms of social anxiety, unhelpful thoughts, avoidance behaviours, fear of negative evaluations and improving quality of life in students with above-average social anxiety.

The proposed study seeks to implement a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness and generalizability of an efficacious cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention for use as a self-administered mobile application (mobile app) to treat anxiety in patients with metastatic cancer.

This randomized pilot clinical trial studies healing touch or usual care in improving quality of life in patients undergoing stem cell transplant. Healing touch may improve the quality of life of patients undergoing stem cell transplant.
