A Study on the Outcome and Its Influencing Factors in Patients With Borderline Personality Disorder...

Borderline Personality Disorder

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a difficult chronic mental illness. This diagnosis is common in Western countries. Our researchers want to study the outcome and its influencing factors of BPD for the first time in China. Patients with BPD who had been hospitalized in Wuhan Mental Health Center were selected as the subjects. The researchers retrospectively collected the most recent hospitalization data of these patients, and then prospectively follow up them for 2 years to see how their condition will change. By analyzing all data, researchers hope to know deeply about the development law of this illness, and to provide evidence for releasing these patients' suffering.

A Study to Test Different Doses of BI 1358894 and Find Out Whether They Reduce Symptoms in People...

Borderline Personality Disorder

This study is open to adults with borderline personality disorder. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called BI 1358894 helps to reduce symptoms in people with borderline personality disorder. Four different doses of BI 1358894 are tested in the study. Participants are put into 5 groups by chance. Participants in 4 of the 5 groups take different doses of BI 1358894. Participants in the fifth group take placebo. Participants take BI 1358894 and placebo as tablets once a day. Placebo tablets look like BI 1358894 tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants are in the study for about 5 months. During this time, they visit the study site about 12 times and get about 6 phone calls. At the visits, doctors ask participants about their symptoms. The results between the BI 1358894 groups and the placebo group are then compared. The doctors also regularly check the general health of the participants.

Central Meditation and Imagery Therapy for Augmentation of Borderline Personality Disorder Treatment...

Borderline Personality Disorder

Borderline personality disorder is a severe psychiatric disorder marked by emotional instability, difficulty with interpersonal relationships, and self-harming behaviors. Despite receiving psychotherapy for borderline personality disorder, studies show that patient recovery is slow, and there is a high rate of self injury and suicide attempts early in treatment. There is thus a clear need to provide therapies to augment psychotherapy. We will conduct a pilot trial to determine whether a 6-week Central Meditation and Imagery Therapy (CMIT) is feasible for subjects with borderline personality disorder to undergo when added on to psychotherapy treatment. CMIT is a non-validated therapy that combines principles of mindfulness with meditation techniques and guided imagery. Sessions led by a trained clinician in a group setting once a week, and participants are asked to complete daily home practice. The trial will involve 16 participants, all currently undergoing psychotherapy for borderline personality disorder. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a CMIT group that lasts 6 weeks, or a wait list group. Those in the wait list group will be able to receive CMIT after 6 weeks. All participants will continue to receive psychotherapy throughout the trial. During the trial, we will also obtain preliminary data to help understand whether CMIT may result in psychological benefits for participants. This will include measuring the pulse in order to determine variation in beat to beat intervals of the heart during psychological tests, and filling out questionnaires before and after participation in CMIT.

Examining Dose-Related Effects of Oxytocin on Social Cognition Across Populations

Borderline Personality DisorderBPD6 more

Social cognition impairment is critical to the pathology and morbidity of a number of psychiatric disorders, including the schizophrenia spectrum, the autism spectrum and the personality disorders, thus representing a dimension consistent with RDoC. As such, this study aims to a) further characterize the unique deficits in social cognition (recognition and interpretation of social cues and representation of thoughts, intentions, and feelings of others) across disorders, including the schizophrenia spectrum (which includes schizophrenia, SCZ, schizoaffective disorder, SAD, bipolar disorder, BD, and schizotypal personality disorder, SPD), the autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and borderline personality disorder (BPD) compared to healthy controls (HC); b) assess the effect of intranasal oxytocin (OXT) as a regulator and novel treatment of social cognition impairment in these disorders; and c) enhance our understanding of the specificity and exact mechanisms of impairment to inform the accurate dosing of OXT required to modulate social cognition in these disorders and identify a model of optimum social cognitive function. Addressing these questions will further catalyze research into a model of optimum social cognitive activity, and accelerate industry development of agents suited to routine clinical administration.

Supportive Program for Mother With BPD

Parent-child ProblemBorderline Personality Disorder

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is characterized by a pervasive pattern of instability of interpersonal relationships, self-image and emotions as well as marked impulsivity. When patients have children, they are at high risk of severe emotional and relational disturbances (withdrawal, low self-esteem, depression, suicidal thoughts). In addition, studies support the effectiveness of parental guidance group to reduce emotional and behavioral difficulties of children. To our knowledge there are no programs directed to mothers with BPD who received a controlled evaluation. From experience with parental guidance, data from the observation of children of patients with BPD and psychosocial programs directed to patients BPD, we have built for preventive intervention. The Supportive Program for Mothers with BPD (SuPMother-B) consists of 10 group sessions providing information (education, childcare, care specific to BPD) and promotes mother-child interactions (observation, games). Purpose: Compare the effect of a program (SuPMother-B) group, of 10 sessions, offered to mothers with a BPD in addition to a minimal intervention (diagnostic announcement and provision of health care resources) on behavior withdrawal of children at 6 months compared to a group of mothers receiving only minimal intervention. Primary outcome: Difference at 6 months between the experimental and control groups on scores on the assessment scale withdrawal (Alarm Distress Baby (ADBB)).

Delving Into Borderline Personality Disorder Clinical Trial Experiences

Borderline Personality Disorder

Taking part in medical study usually favors a particular demographic group. But there is limited research available to explain what trial attributes affect the completion of these specific demographic groups. This study will admit a wide range of data on the clinical research experience of borderline personality disorder patients to determine which factors prevail in limiting a patient's ability to join or finish a trial. It will also try to analyze data from the perspective of different demographic groups to check for recurring trends which might yield insights for the sake of future borderline personality disorder patients.

Evaluating a Novel Method of Generalizing Emotion Regulation

Problems With Emotion RegulationPsychological Distress4 more

The aim of the present project is to develop and evaluate a novel and brief method of generalizing habituation (i.e., calming down after being upset) from an original learning context in the laboratory to other contexts inside and outside the laboratory. Specifically, the primary aim of this project is to evaluate whether novel habituation reminders (HRs) introduced following personally-relevant emotional stressors reduce acute negative emotions and psychological distress outside of an original learning context. Using a team of basic and applied scientists, over 4 years the investigators expect to screen 420 adult outpatients to enroll 250 study participants who have extreme difficulties with emotion regulation. These 250 participants will be randomly assigned to one of eight experimental groups, with the experimental design leading them through 1 or 2 of 3 project experiments. Actual enrollment: 372 adult outpatients signed consent and enrolled into the study. 222 participants were eligible and began the study. Out of the 222, 210 completed the study (as opposed to the desired 250). Experiment 1 will evaluate whether novel auditory HRs following personally-relevant emotional stressors differentially reduce psychological distress and negative emotions (via self-report and psychophysiology), compared to no HRs, within the same and different lab contexts after a 1 week delay. Experiment 2 will evaluate whether HRs differentially reduce negative emotions, psychological distress, difficulties with emotion regulation, and psychiatric symptoms, compared to sham sounds outside the laboratory across a 1 week period, using 8x daily assessments of distress and emotions and automated HRs/shams when acute negative emotions are present. An automated server and cellular phone system will be used to assess distress and emotional states and to deliver HRs/shams. Experiment 3 will examine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effect size estimates when participants self-initiate the use of HRs in their daily lives across a 2 week period when acute negative emotions are present. The specific randomization rules across the 8 groups are explained in detail in the full protocol . Risks in this study may arise from 1) the assessment interviews and questionnaires, and 2) discussing and hearing self-reported distressing events. Initial analyses will focus on the success of randomization to groups. The investigators will examine group differences on possible covariates (e.g., demographic variables) and those that are different across conditions will be used as covariates. Preliminary analyses will examine distributional properties of primary outcome measures and correlations among outcome measures and possible covariates. The investigators will set alpha at .05 for all analyses of primary hypotheses. To examine the influence of psychiatric symptoms (compared to the HR) on primary outcomes, the investigators will examine the relationship between baseline clinically relevant psychiatric variables (e.g., symptom severity) and changes in SUDS, emotional arousal, and clinical outcomes over time and if appropriate include these variables in primary analyses. Full data analytic plans are described in the full protocol.
