Active clinical trials for "Anxiety Disorders"

The purpose of the current study is to examine the efficacy of Emotionally Focused Therapy for Individuals (EFIT) as a treatment for depression and anxiety. It is formulated as a trans-diagnostic treatment in line with the call for more transdiagnostic approaches to treat depression and anxiety given the many similarities in the underlying psychological and emotional factors of these disorders, the high levels of co-morbidity, and the preliminary success of transdiagnostic treatment approaches. EFIT has been formulated as an attachment-based alternative to current cognitive transdiagnostic approaches. The strong evidence for insecure attachment as an underlying factor in psychopathology, especially depression and anxiety, positions this theory well as a foundational principle to support psychotherapy for these conditions. EFIT has been formulated for the first time this year in the book that will serve as the therapy manual for this study. The current study aims to examine EFIT outcomes as compared to a control group (a wait-list control followed by online CBT intervention after the wait period). In particular, this research project aims to distinguish differences in initial and follow-up outcomes between EFIT versus control, and demonstrate significant changes in attachment/emotions and mechanisms of change across EFIT sessions. The primary hypotheses are outlined below.

This is a randomized controlled trial that intends to verify the effectiveness of the daily practice of meditation before going to sleep for the improvement of sleep, stress, mental health and quality of life of people with sleep problems.

This study will assess the feasibility and acceptability of a combination intervention including dietary counselling and omega-3 fatty acid supplementation among women with generalized anxiety disorder. It will be randomized and wait-list controlled with 25 participants completing the 12-week intervention immediately and the other 25 participants completing the intervention after a 12-week wait period.

This study evaluates the efficacy of a multistrain probiotic administered in the form of a capsule in the management of moderate self-reported anxiety in adults aged 18-65

A phase 2, multicenter, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical study, designed to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 2 dose levels of CBD and a matching placebo for the treatment of subjects with Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD).

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of the progressive relaxation exercises in perioperative bariatric surgery patient care. The investigators know that the preoperative anxiety is an important factor that affects acute postoperative pain experience. Additionally, the investigators know that there is a relationship between preoperative anxiety and moderate to severe pain in the first 12 hours postoperatively, and this is also true for patients undergoing bariatric surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does preoperative anxiety level of patient who will undergo bariatric surgery and who are applied progressive relaxation exercises is lower than those who did not apply exercise? Does postoperative pain level of patient who underwent bariatric surgery and applied progressive relaxation exercises was lower than patients who did not apply exercise? Participants will be randomly split into two groups and one of the groups of participants will learn how to do progressive relaxation exercises preoperatively and the other group will learn nothing. Then at the time of the surgery, all participants will fill a survey preoperatively to analyze participants' anxiety level in each group and the investigators will collect data about participants' pain level postoperatively. Researchers will compare these data whether there is an effect of the progressive relaxation exercises on preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain or not.

This is a Phase 2, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, dose-finding study to assess the effect of 4 doses of MM-120 (25, 50, 100 or 200 μg freebase-equivalent) for the treatment of anxiety symptoms in subjects diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).

The purpose of this study is to determine whether internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) is effective in the treatment of children and adolescents with dental anxiety. The investigators hypothesis is that children and adolescents who have been offered ICBT show significant better performance on outcome measures compared with patients in control group.

Cancer is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. In addition, cancer is associated with high rates of depression and anxiety among its sufferers, and cancer patients with depression usually have worse treatment outcomes and long-term survival. Surprisingly, many cancer patients with depression do not receive treatment for their depression, perhaps because treatments for cancer-related depression are usually adapted from those used in non-cancer populations and may not be suitable for cancer patients. Moreover, cancer patients with depression are more likely to have a long latency of anti-depressant drug action, negative drug-drug interactions with cancer chemotherapies and an increased susceptibility for systemic side effects. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a new treatment modality for depression that affects the brain directly with no systemic side effects and poses no potential for drug-drug interactions. rTMS therapy was recently cleared by the FDA as an antidepressant treatment for treatment-resistant Major Depressive Disorder, and now is being evaluated for a wide array of additional psychiatric indications. This randomized, open label, two-arm, pilot study will investigate the safety, tolerability, feasibility and the efficacy of two forms of rTMS (i.e., left (fast) and right (slow) sided rTMS) in cancer-related depression. The study hypotheses are that rTMS will significantly reduce symptoms of depression and that right-sided slow rTMS will be more effective than left-sided fast rTMS for the treatment of severe anxiety.

The purpose of the study is to assess efficacy and safety of a digital cognitive behavioural therapy for patients with pulmonary fibrosis on anxiety. The study is decentralized and participation is not limited to patients living close to the sites.
