Panic DisorderSocial Anxiety Disorder12 more

In this multicenter study, the investigators want to find out if an addition of an diagnostic assessment and possibility of treatment with guided self-help CBT can increase the treatment effects of PCBH on patient functioning and symptoms, compared to standard PCBH which uses contextual assessment and brief interventions. In addition to this, the study will investigate the overall effect of PCBH on both patient and organisation level outcomes.

Follow up of Patients Treated With Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Hypochondria From 1997 to 2007...

Hypochondriasis

Research has shown that cognitive behavioural therapy is effective in treating hypochondria. However, no studies have examined the long term effect. The investigators have followed 56 patients treated for hypochondria between 1997 and 2001 and the investigators are now doing a 10 year follow-up (Part I). In another part of the study (Part II) the investigators compare the effect of 16 sessions vs. 5 sessions, with a follow-up period of at least 2 years. The investigators hypothesis is that the initial 1 year improvement will be sustained and that 5 sessions will yield the same results as 16 sessions.

Brief-intensive CBT Versus Once-weekly CBT in Anxiety-related Disorders

Anxiety DisordersObsessive-Compulsive Disorder2 more

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare brief-intensive cognitive-behaviour therapy (CBT) with regular weekly CBT in people with anxiety-related disorders. The main question to answer is: will brief-intensive CBT improve functioning (work, family, social) more and faster than does regular weekly CBT? Participants will be asked to follow CBT treatment (20 sessions of 45 minutes in both conditions), and participate in 7 measurements with a total duration of 5 hours over 1 year. Researchers will compare: Brief-intensive CBT: 16 sessions in 2 weeks + 4 follow-up sessions within 3 months Regular CBT with 20 weekly sessions in 6 months

Internet-delivered Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Patients With Health Anxiety

Hypochondriasis

Health anxiety is a prevalent, disabling disorder associated with extensive health care expenditures. The lack of easily accessible, evidence-based psychological treatment combined with delayed diagnostic recognition constitute barriers to receiving treatment. Aim To develop an internet-delivered treatment program, based on 'Acceptance and Commitment Therapy' (ACT), for patients with health anxiety. To test the feasibility and effectiveness of the treatment programme in a randomized, controlled trial, comparing the treatment with an active control condition. Methods 150 patients aged 18 years and older can self-refer through a web-page to apply for participation. Before inclusion patients will undergo a video-diagnostic interview. Patients are randomly assigned to 12 weeks of either, 1) active treatment: consisting of internet-based ACT (iACT) with 7 therapist-guided modules of self-help text, exercises, patient videos and audio-files, or 2) active control condition: consisting of an internet-based discussion forum (iFORUM) with 7 topics of discussion. All patients will complete self-report questionnaires at baseline, before randomization, at 4 and 8 weeks into treatment, after end of treatment, and at 6-month follow-up.

Internet Treatment for Health Anxiety

Hypochondriasis

Background Severe health anxiety, hypochondriasis according to DSM-IV, is common and associated with functional disability. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and behavioral stress management (BSM) have been showed to be effective in the treatment of severe health anxiety. The mechanisms of the treatments are however poorly understood. In addition, effective psychological treatments are accessible to only a few. One prior RCT has shown that internet-based CBT could be effective in comparison to waiting list controls. More studies on internet-based CBT is essential to establish evidence. In addition, few studies with sufficient power have investigated the effect of CBT in comparison to other active treatments. Aim of the study The aim of the present RCT is to compare internet-based CBT (n=110) to behavioral stress management (n=110) for adult participants with severe health anxiety. BSM is considered a comparison treatment for two reasons: it has been shown to be effective and it lacks exposure and response prevention, which is suggested to be an important mechanism in CBT. Participants in both treatments are expected to be significantly improved on measures of health anxiety. Participants receiving CBT are expected to be significantly more improved compared to participants receiving BSM.
