The Indian Ayurvedic herb Brahmi (Bacopa monniera) has been used to improve cognitive functions in Indian sub-continent for many years and previous intervention studies have shown positive effects of Brahmi on cognitive performance in adults. However, the studies are conducted on various fractions and extracts and there is high likelihood of variability of composition amongst the fractions/extracts tested in these studies. Furthermore, although the findings of the previous studies overlap to some extent, they are not consistent and there is a need to replicate these findings. Further, even though Brahmi has been studied for its chemical composition and its therapeutic benefits as a whole, there are still severe gaps with respect to the complete composition of the Brahmi plant or its extracts. No published data exist on the Pharmacokinetics (PK) properties of Brahmi components. Hitherto, the evidence and the mechanistic details are still speculative and the biological activity is still phenomenological. Because of this severe knowledge gap, this study will try to repeat the findings on cognitive performance and at the same time also explore the plasma levels of its components in order to initiate the understanding of ADME aspects and its linkages to the biological effect.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and feasibility of virtual reality for anxiety treatment in mechanically ventilated patients.

This study is taking place to examine the preliminary effects of improvisational therapy (improv group) on social anxiety for youth at the Youth Wellness Centre (YWC). The improv group will run for 12-weeks as a drop-in group. A typical session will begin with stretching, simple breathing and an activity to promote group cohesion. Following this, improvisation games and activities will be introduced with the goal of promoting the following skills: assertiveness, acceptance, problem solving, co-operate skills, non-verbal communication, mindfulness, and memory. Youth who consent to the study will be asked to complete a set of brief questionnaires the first time they attend one of the sessions. Youth who have attended at least 3 sessions will be asked again to complete questionnaires following the completion of week 12 session. Youth will also rate their anxiety and distress on a simple rating scale at the beginning and end of each session. Additionally, all participants (who have attended three or more sessions) will be invited to complete a 30 to 45 minute qualitative interview following the 12 week session. Participants are predicted to show a decrease in social anxiety, generalized anxiety and depression symptoms, and an increase in self-esteem, and perceived social support.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of an online program in reducing symptoms of social anxiety, unhelpful thoughts, avoidance behaviours, fear of negative evaluations and improving quality of life in students with above-average social anxiety.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of complementary therapies delivered via mobile technologies have a therapeutic effect on surgical patients' anxiety, pain, and self-efficacy in healing reports before, following, and at 10-day follow-up.

The proposed study seeks to implement a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness and generalizability of an efficacious cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention for use as a self-administered mobile application (mobile app) to treat anxiety in patients with metastatic cancer.

The purpose of this study is to determine if non-invasive distracting devices (Virtual Reality headset) are more effective than the standard of care (i.e., no technology based distraction) for preventing anxiety in parental and pediatric populations with limited English proficiency (LEP).

This study investigated the effect of listening to self-selected music on anxiety and physiological responses in patients prior to gastroscopy. A randomized controlled trial was conducted, in which patients scheduled for gastroscopy in a medical center located in Taipei, Taiwan, were enrolled. The experimental group listened to self-selected music with earphones for 15 min before the procedure, whereas the control group rested for 15 min. Blood pressure (BP), heart rate, respiratory rate, and anxiety level were measured immediately before and after the intervention.

Introduction: Test anxiety, one of the forms of situational anxiety, is a crucial biopsychological factor negatively affecting the wellbeing and academic performance of students throughout their education. The study aims to determine the effects of music therapy and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) on situational anxiety and vital signs in nursing students before they take the OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Exam). The study was a randomized controlled experimental study and conducted with 90 volunteering students studying at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nursing at a university in Istanbul. A computer-based random number generator was used to randomly assign the students into three groups (Music, EFT, and control), each of which consisted of 30 students. Data collection was carried out using a Student Identification Form, the Situational Anxiety Scale, and the Vital Signs Form.
