Active clinical trials for "Problem Behavior"

The goal of the study is to conduct a comparative randomized trial of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) vs. ketamine for patients with treatment resistant depression (TRD) in a real world setting with patient reported outcomes as primary and secondary outcome measures.

The purpose of this study is to examine whether an exergaming, aerobic physical education (PE) curriculum is acceptable and elicits improvements in behavioral self-regulation and classroom functioning among children with behavioral health challenges attending a therapeutic day school. After following an approved consent/assent process, children attending the school were randomized by classroom to take part in either 7 weeks of the experimental PE curriculum, or 7 weeks of the standard PE curriculum; after a 10 week washout period, children then crossed over into the other arm.

The present study is leveraging a randomized-controlled design to evaluate an Internet-based format for the delivery of Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (I-PCIT). Drawing on videoteleconferencing technology, this format affords real-time interactions for the provision of care traditionally delivered in person, regardless of a family's geographic proximity to a mental health facility. Moreover, drawing on technological innovation to deliver interventions directly to families in their natural settings may extend the ecological validity of PCIT, as treatment is delivered in the very context in which child problems occur. Families seeking treatment for early child disruptive behavior problems (N=40) are being randomly assigned to either receive Internet-delivered PCIT or clinic-based PCIT. Outcomes and feasibility/acceptability will be assessed across the treatment phase as well as at post-treatment and 6-month follow-up.

The hypothesis was that a large fraction of individuals with common mental disorders were undetected in long-term sickness and that detection of the disorders by screening, a psychiatric diagnostic examination and feedback to the individuals, primary care, and rehabilitation officers improved return to work, improved quality of life and reduced psychological distress.

This project will examine how virtual reality treatment that provides users with the alternate perspective of a virtual interpersonal interaction impacts psychological and neurobiological markers of social perspective taking in children with a disruptive behavior disorder. The investigators anticipate that experiencing a virtual encounter from a counterpart's point-of-view improves a child's perspective taking and alters brain function related to imagining another person's pain.

This study aims to analyze which cognitive training experimental condition - Tablet versus Kinect - results in greater cognitive, mood, quality of life, and functional gains in a sample of chronic psychiatric patients.

This qualitative study, combining psychiatric and anthropological perspectives, focused on the development and/or worsening of patients' eating disorders since Covid-19, as well as the experiences and perceptions of those around them - such as their family, teachers or staff. School and nursing staff. This multi-site approach will provide a multidimensional perspective on the experience of individuals and those around them, as well as a triangulation of data. The hypotheses to explain the increase in Eating Disorders (EDs) will be addressed through semi-structured interviews offered to study participants.

The overarching goal of this project is to study the sustainability of MATCH-ADTC within community mental health clinics, to learn what is needed for evidence-based practices (EBPs) to take root and thrive within a public system.

The purpose of this research study is to learn whether or not a brief parenting program called Child Adult Relationship Enhancement (CARE) offered at a primary care office can help improve behavior problems in children who are 2-6 years old.

Psychiatric consultation and short-term follow-up will produce equivalent clinical outcomes and be less costly when provided via videoconferencing (telepsychiatry) than when provided in-person.
