Active clinical trials for "Anxiety Disorders"

Depression and anxiety in female patients with cancer are serious comorbidities that affect the quality of life for patients and their survival rates as they have poorer health outcomes. This validation study is a part of the study on the prevalence of depression and anxiety among breast cancer patients. This study aims to investigate the validity of the Kazakh and Russian versions of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) among female cancer patients in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

Covid-19, the infection caused by a novel corona virus detected in December 2019 in Wuhan (Hubei province), is now a pandemic announced by World Health Organization, raising concerns of widespread panic and increasing anxiety in individuals. This outbreak results in mass quarantine in Egypt since middle of March 2020. Brooks et al. (2019) reviewed and reported quarantine could bring "post traumatic stress symptoms, confusion, and anger. Stressors included longer quarantine duration, infection fears, frustration, boredom, inadequate supplies, inadequate information, financial loss, and stigma.". Many universities decided to suspend in-person classes and evacuate students in responding to the intensifying concerns surrounding Covid-19. This action can lead to negative psychological consequences among college students. Oral health related behavior and attitudes habits correlate with oral health status and can be considered to be its predictors . There is a claim of potential connection between high bacterial load in the mouth and complications associated with Covid-19 infection. Bacteria present in the meta genome of patients severely infected with Covid-19 included high reads for Prevotella, Staphylococcus, and Fusobacterium, all usually commensal organisms of the mouth. Over 80% of patients in ICU exhibited an exceptionally high bacterial load. Accordingly, the investigators assume that good oral hygiene better to be maintained during a Covid-19 outbreak in order to reduce the bacterial load in the mouth and the risk of a bacterial super infection in case of catching the infection . While there seems to be a common belief that psychosocial stress affects oral hygiene behavior, this assumption has rarely been proved9 Dental students, as the future providers of dental care, are ex¬pected to be role models for their patients regarding the oral hygiene practice and they supposed to be aware of the importance of preserving the oral health. Thus, we intended to select them as our population to study how the level of anxiety during pandemic could affect the practice of oral hygien

The goal of this observational study is to compare socio-demographic and clinical features in patients affected by Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and by Panic Disorder (PD). The main questions it aims to answer are: which socio-demographic/clinical markers are associated to GAD or PD diagnosis? which factors are associated with a longer duration of untreated illness (DUI) in GAD and in PD? Participants will signed a written informed consent and socio-demographic/clinical variables will be retrospectively collected. Researchers will compare GAD and PD groups in terms of socio-demographic and clinical features, including DUI, to better characterize the two disorders and to investigate factors associated to a longer DUI.

Our aim in conducting this study is to determine the relationship between voice disorders and anxiety in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FS).

Anxiety disorders are among the most prevalent, costly, and disabling mental illnesses. One central, yet largely understudied, abnormality in anxiety disorders is the heightened tendency to display fear and avoidance in reaction to benign or safe events that resemble feared situations. The current project maps brain circuits associated with this abnormality in order to contribute to future brain-based diagnosis and treatments for clinical anxiety.

Eligible participants will come in for three separate visits in which they will be interviewed, perform a variety of tasks, and undergo a non-invasive MRI scan. The investigators anticipate that (1) participants with anxiety and depression will likely perform differently than the healthy controls on cognitive tasks, (2) participants with anxiety and depression will likely show differences in brain functionality compared to the healthy controls, and (3) depression and anxiety likely share some underlying mechanisms.

Preoperative anxiety is a complex clinical concept with both physiological and psychological consequences.

The purpose of this observational study is to study specific outcomes of interest in users of quetiapine compared with all other atypical antipsychotics and specifically olanzapine and risperidone. The outcomes of interest are all-cause mortality, failed suicide attempts, extrapyramidal symptoms, diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, acute myocardial infarction and stroke. This retrospective cohort study is based on population-based record linkage system (PHARMO RLS) capturing about 2.5 millions residents in the Netherlands.

Many older adults have undetected health problems and lack basic prevention measures. Failure to identify and treat these conditions can lead to unnecessary morbidity and mortality and a decreased quality of life. Traditional screening and intervention programs, usually based in primary care providers' offices, have been insufficient, particularly in medically underserved populations. Alternate sites for screening and intervention have begun to receive attention and may hold promise. The emergency department (ED) is the entry point for access to medical and social services for many patients and has the potential to serve as a site to identify older adults with unmet needs. However, we do not know the prevalence of depression and cognitive impairment and how they differ by mode of arrival of the patient to the ED. Second, a question remains as to the validity of screening patients during an acute illness. Upon completion, this study will describe the epidemiology of the population of older adults presenting to the ED.

The purpose of this neuroimaging study is to investigate the brain correlates of Major Depressive Disorder with anxiety symptoms as well as potentially identify predictors of treatment outcome.
