Active clinical trials for "Anxiety Disorders"

This study aims to evaluate the safety and acceptability of a basic neuro-technological intervention in the treatment of adolescents with Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD). Our technology will deliver a mindfulness-based anxiety regulation intervention through a neuro- / bio-feedback-based virtual reality (VR) game interface that is driven by a novel algorithm.

Compare the effect of a single exposure to a therapy dog and handler within the pediatric emergency department patient with anxiety by measuring the change in patient perception of anxiety before and after dog exposure using the FACES scale. We will also measure galvanic skin response (resistance to electrical current).

This project aims to investigate the effects of an intervention involving minimalist piano music and bird singing on the anxiety of nursing professionals working in the Oncology sector of a hospital.

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of toy-type nebulizers on fear and anxiety in children receiving inhaler therapy. The research hypotheses are as follows: H0: There is no significant difference between the intervention group and the the control group in the mean score of the "Child Fear Scale" and "Child Anxiety Scale-State" during and after the inhaler treatment with a toy-type nebulizer. H1: During and after the s inhaler treatment with the toy-type nebulizer, the mean score of the "Child Fear Scale" and "Child Anxiety Scale-State" is significantly higher in the intervention group compared to the control group.

In hospitals, venous blood sampling as the first step in diagnosis and planning of medical treatment is among the most basic and common procedures all over the world. Before the diagnosis and treatment of acute or chronic health problems, venous blood is requested from the doctors and the blood sample is collected by the nurses. Patients experience anxiety for reasons such as the fear of experiencing pain during the blood donation process, fear of seeing blood, and fear that blood-borne diseases will pass. Studies in the literature have generally evaluated the effects on pain and fear by using virtual reality with different techniques in pediatric patients during blood collection, and the relevant research has been reached in adult patients. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of virtual reality on pain and anxiety during blood collection of patients who applied to the blood collection unit of a university hospital.

This study is a randomized effectiveness trial that tests the online delivery of a video-based intervention (One Talk at a Time (OTAAT)) relative to a control group over a one-year span. Hypotheses include: 1.) The OTAAT intervention will increase parental motivation to engage in racial-ethnic socialization (RES) conversations, their skills and confidence in having these conversations, and the frequency and quality of these conservations; 2.) The OTAAT intervention will increase youth reports of their coping with discrimination, perceived efficacy in coping with discrimination in the future, ethnic-racial identity, and youth mental and academic outcomes; 3.) Greater parental discrimination and youth discrimination will moderate links between OTAAT intervention and parental ethnic-racial motivation + competency as well as youth ethnic-racial identity, coping, and psychosocial outcomes.

This is a prospective, single center, double blind, randomized, crossover feasibility study of oral ketamine versus placebo for the treatment of anxiety in patients with pancreatic cancer currently receiving or within 12 weeks of receiving cancer targeted therapy. The primary objective is to determine the feasibility of enrolling subjects and treatment adherence. The secondary objectives are to describe the safety and tolerability. Exploratory objectives are to assess the effect of ketamine/placebo on Depression, Anxiety, Physical Function, Pain Interference, Pain Intensity, Fatigue, Sleep Disturbance, and Ability to Participate in Social Roles and Activities as measured by PROMIS Anxiety Short Form 7a and the PROMIS-29 Profile v2.1 of Patient Reported Outcomes, as well as changes in circulatory inflammatory cytokines, blood glutamine levels, and other biomarkers of anxiety and/or depression.

Different non-pharmacological methods such as virtual reality glasses and music can be applied by nurses within the scope of care interventions for the management of pain and anxiety in burn patients during dressing changes and debridement. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of virtual reality and music on pain, anxiety and pain anxiety in burn patient care.

Due to an increasing amount of children and adolescents are suffering from mental illnesses i Sweden. Early preventive psychological interventions are important to avoid a long-time use of medicines. Animal assisted therapy and especially equine assisted services (EAS) has shown to be a good complementary method to decrease anxiety and/or depression in children and adolescents. The main aim is to study the effect of a specific EAS program regarding symptoms of mental illness and in long-term follow-up of future healthcare consumption. We will conduct interviews with both participants and their parents besides the questionnaires at follow-ups (12 weeks, and 1 year) The intervention will be EAS at a farm following a detailed program, the staff at the farm are specially trained with a certification to practice EAS. Each session will last for about 60 minutes, once a week. Participants will get information of the study by the child and youth psychiatry in the region of Skane, and from student´s health team at elementary schools. Those who want ti participate will contact the study coordinator for full information and informed consent. The EAS model has been used in treatment of adult with mental illness for many years, and the result are very positive. This project provides an opportunity to evaluate the effect of EAS to promote health and prevent severe manifest mental illness among children and adolescents. There are no previous studies of the long-term effect of EAS regarding health consumption.

The current study aims to deepen understanding of the symptom dimension of negative overgeneralization in anxiety. Specifically, the study examines the malleability of memory processes that are known to occur during sleep that may underlie negative overgeneralization.
