Active clinical trials for "Anxiety Disorders"

As a supplement to the ongoing randomized evaluation of the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) anxiety prevention intervention in Pakistan (R01-MH111859), the investigators propose to explore potential biological mechanisms (related to inflammation and endocrine functioning) of antenatal anxiety through additional data collection with 300 pregnant women.

The aim of the REV clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of a virtual reality exposure to decrease patient anxiety before chemotherapy or an invasive act. If positive, the access to virtual reality exposure is aimed to be used as standard of care at Lyon's hospital to improve cancer patient well-being in a drug-free manner. The majority of cancer patients lives with high level of anxiety as soon as diagnosed. This level anxiety is particularly high before invasive acts but also before chemotherapy by side effects anticipation. Hypnosis is a highly interesting drug-free approach to decrease patient's anxiety. It however requires on site specialists to be available whenever needed. Virtual reality provides a distractive environment enabled to shift patient focus. It can support a switch of patient mindset by providing positive emotions. Since 5 years, this disruptive technology is being more and more used as medical support thanks to a new generation of headsets enabling improved performance at cheaper prices. Many publications have now demonstrated the positive impact of virtual reality to take in charge patients' pain or pre-operational anxiety.

Primary objective is to evaluate the feasibility of delivering an online early Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) Recent Traumatic Events Protocol (R-TEP) to patients who have survived Covid-19 related critical illness, within the context of a randomised controlled trial (RCT). This will inform the design of a future RCT investigating the effectiveness of EMDR R-TEP in reducing psychological symptoms, for adult survivors of intensive care.

The main goal of this study is assess the effectiveness of a PtDA for patients with GAD.

The aim of this study is to explore the overall effectiveness of interventions using mobile health care to improve disease perception, self-efficacy, anxiety, cardio-pulmonary fitness for patients with acute myocardial infarction.

At CHUS Fleurimont, one in five patients hospitalized for this condition needs to be transferred to an intensive functional rehabilitation unit (URFI) located in another establishment of the Centre intégré universitaire de santé et de service sociaux de l'Estrie - Centre hospitalier universitaire de Sherbrooke (CIUSSS de Estrie-CHUS). Patients and their relatives must therefore adapt to a new environment and a new care team, which can cause additional concern and uncertainty for their new condition. Thus, the importance of educating the patient and their family so that they understand the nature of the stroke, as well as the elements and stages of rehabilitation that lie ahead, are essentials so that they can make an informed choice about acceptance and type of rehabilitation. However, to date, little material is available to facilitate communication between the professional and the patient and his/her family. In this perspective, our research team has developed a video which aims to improve the knowledge of people and loved ones on intensive functional rehabilitation (RFI) and its care settings. The objectives of this study are: Evaluate the effect of viewing the video on post-stroke patients and their relatives on: Perceived stress Anxiety Knowledge on intensive functional rehabilitation Measure participants satisfaction regarding the video Evaluate the association between socio-demographic outcomes (age, sex, degree of impairment, relation with the patient, NIHSS, MRS) and perceived stress, anxiety and knowledge regarding rehabilitation.

Patients undergoing stem cell transplantation for the first time will be entered. Participants will be randomized to one of two study arms: Arm 1: intervention (routine care+ inhalation aromatherapy); Arm 2: Control (Routine care) Hypotheses: (1) Patients receiving inhalation aromatherapy will experience less severe nausea and less frequent vomiting episodes than those receiving only routine care; and (2) patients receiving inhalation aromatherapy will demonstrate lower anxiety levels just after AHSCT than those receiving only routine care.

Poverty is a common experience for many children and families in developing countries. Living in a poor or low-income household has been linked to poor health and increased risk for mental health problems than the general population. Previous studies link psychological well-being with yoga in adolescents and children. This study investigated the effects of a structured yoga program on psychological well-being in low-income school children.

School-age test anxiety is an important risk factor for school performance. Notwithstanding, few studies seek to identify which strategies are effective in improving test anxiety. This study aimed to test whether a cognitive-behavioural intervention for high school students could significantly reduce test anxiety. A two-arm, cluster-randomized controlled, unblinded, parallel, trial was conducted. Participants were students of the 10th year of the Alves Martins High School in Viseu, Portugal. Students were randomized at class level to receive a cognitive-behavioural-based intervention combined with mindfulness, psychoeducation, and relaxation techniques, or to a control group with no intervention. Participants' anxiety levels were measured using the Test Anxiety Questionnaire. The analysis of the effect of the intervention was carried out on an intention-to-treat basis at the class level, using multilevel mixed effects models and Bayesian modelling.

Aim: This research will be carried out to determine the effect of distracting methods on fear and anxiety in children before the COVID test.
