Active clinical trials for "Anxiety Disorders"

A tailored Internet-based cognitive-behavioural intervention is tested within a primary care clinic. Weekly measures of symptoms of depression and anxiety are obtained. Significant within-group effects are expected.

Background: Studies show that about 1 out of 3 patients in Primary Care suffer primarily from mental health disorders, such as anxiety disorders and depression. Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) has been shown to be an effective treatment of these disorders. Despite the strong evidence for CBT there is a lack of evidence-based psychological treatment in primary care. For various reasons, the progress of research has not affected clinical practice. For successful implementation of CBT in primary care cost-effective therapies, access to therapists with proper training and supervision, evidence-based manuals and management that support the implementation is needed. Aim: The aim of this trial is to evaluate a stepped care model with CBT in primary care. All patients are first treated with self-help CBT (N = 400). Patients that do not improve after treatment (9 weeks) are randomized to individual CBT or continued self-help treatment. Based on published studies 2/3 is expected to be improved after self-help and therefore do not undergo randomization. 1/3 (n = 133) who didn´t respond to treatment is randomized to individual CBT (N = 67) or continued self-help treatment (N = 67).

The fact that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a well known efficacious intervention for children with anxiety disorders (AD) is undeniable. However, most children with AD have limited access to CBT. There is some controversial evidence on group CBT in AD involving families in treatment of their children and a published article on efficacy of a parent only group CBT for these children. Considering these data, the investigators hypothesized that teaching anxiety-fighting skills to parents of children with AD would diminish anxiety symptoms of both parents and children and improve family relational functioning.

The PACS study aims to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of pregabalin for schizophrenic patients that suffer from comorbid anxiety. The study design is an 8 week flexible dosage, randomized placebo controlled. The study population is patients diagnosed with ICD-10 schizophrenia and age 18-65. Patients are recruited from outpatient clinics from entire Denmark.

The overall aim of this study is to develop and test a psychodynamic Internet-delivered psychological treatment for patients with major depression and/or anxiety disorders and compare its efficacy to an active control group.

The purpose of this study is to determine how effective Kelee meditation is in improving stress, anxiety, and depression.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of CBT and MMI on the quality of life and relief of psychological symptoms of patients with common mental disorders or problems attending primary health care centre.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a 10 week mindfulness training program -- without therapist-support -- as treatment of anxiety. Effects on depression, quality of life, and insomnia symptoms will also be studied.

The main interest in this study is to investigate if it is possible to use strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to increase effectiveness of ordinary Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for patients with anxiety disorders. For the patients included in this study, previous exposure-based treatment should have been unsuccessful (drop-out, relapse or lack of positive results after treatment).

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of (SEROQUEL SR™ ) quetiapine fumarate sustained-release (SR) compared to placebo in the treatment of anxiety symptoms in patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). PLEASE NOTE: Seroquel SR and Seroquel XR refer to the same formulation. The SR designation was changed to XR after consultation with FDA.
