Active clinical trials for "Anxiety Disorders"

Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by inability of the heart to pump an adequate amount of blood. Heart failure affects patients' ability to carry out even simple activities of daily living and therefore has negative psychological impact. Many studies reported that depression is prevalent among HF patients and it is being associated with high morbidity, mortality and costs. The European Society of Cardiology guidelines stresses the importance of routine depression screening with a validated questionnaire and initiating treatment for depression for all depressed HF patients and their access to psychological treatment. The community heart failure nurses provide the integrated heart failure service in the local area of Southwark and Lambeth in South London. The aim of the integrated heart failure team in the community is to provide the HF treatment effectively, help patients understand and manage their symptoms and support with lifestyle changes. Even though, the community HF nurses have extensive role in managing HF patients in the community, their role in assessing anxiety and depression; and providing psychological treatment needs to be further explored. Therefore, there is a need to assess the process by which community HF nurses assess and manage anxiety and depression. This current study builds on our recent systematic review which illustrated how cognitive behaviour therapy is effective at improving depressive symptoms in HF, but more studies are needed to build on these findings. The findings from this review will be used to examine the perspectives on assessing, managing and treating depression and anxiety in HF patients. In this current study, an online focus group with community heart failure nurses and qualitative telephone/online interviews with community-based HF patients will be undertaken to explore their views and experiences in managing depression and anxiety; and to assess whether COMPASS a web-based intervention would be useful. Also, this study will explore the impact of COVID-19 on the psychological wellbeing of community-based HF patients.

Dental anxiety is defined as the fear of terrible events during dental treatment and the loss of control.Anxiety may be related to adaptation of the patient to external factors in environment, so the adaptation of the pediatric patient to the stimuli in the dental environment may affect the level of anxiety.The aim of the this study was to evaluate the relationship between sequential visits in dental treatments and dental anxiety levels of pediatric patients with anxiety scales and physiological measurements.

Rehabilitation status of children with cerebral palsy (CP) and anxiety of their caregivers during the covid19 pandemic were explored. 206 caregivers who voluntarily accepted to participate were administered the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and evaluated about the rehabilitation status of their children.The anxiety levels of all caregivers were found high and the rehabilitation programmes of the children were interrupted.

This study aims to assess the impact of Isha Kriya, a freely available guided meditation, on mental health - specifically anxiety and depression.

Approximately 100 patients undergoing oral surgery will be divided in 3 groups of musical audition to control anxiety: baroque (N=35), classicism (N=35) and control group (N=30). Systolic Blood Pressure, Diastolic Blood Pressure, Heart Rate and Oxygen Saturation will be recorded.

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are two common diseases and share similar symptoms such as anxiety, poor attention, and poor sleep quality. However, the evidence toward the association between GAD and OSA is limited. The current study aims to use wearable devices to detect comorbid OSA in newly diagnosed patients with GAD and observe the treatment response and difference in automatic nervous function in GAD and GAD/OSA groups.

The purpose of this research is to find out if different types of anxiety impact the sensation of how sensitive various muscles are to the application of pressure. This information can help researchers and healthcare providers better understand how people feel pain differently based on emotional factors This study is designed to study people who can be expected to have normal pain sensation processing

It is a randomized, controlled and prospectively planned observational study.In our study, oral fluid administration 1 hour before surgery in children aged 5-12 years was aimed at preoperative anxiety level as the primary objective; The secondary objective is to evaluate the effects on gastric volume, hemodynamics and blood sugar.The study included 90 paediatric patients aged 5-12 years with ASA score 1-2. Group A (n=30): Standard fasting group. Group S (n=30): A group of patients who were given oral 5 ml/kg (maximum 250 ml) of water 1 hour ago. Group K (n=30): A group of patients who were given an oral 5 ml/kg (maximum 250 ml) carbohydrate rich clear liquid 1 hour ago. All patients were evaluated with the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (m-YPAS) before and 1 hour after fluids were administered. After anesthesia, gastric antrum cross-sectional area (GACSA) was measured. Gastric residual volume (GRV) values were calculated. Hemodynamic data, blood sugar levels and parental satisfaction were recorded.

This study will adapt LGBTQ-affirmative cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) - previously only used with adults - for youth aged 12-17 years. This intervention addresses the pathways through which minority stress compromises lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) young peoples' mental health. The purpose of this study is to determine if the intervention is acceptable and feasible for LGBTQ youth.

The modified Preoperative Anxiety Scale (mPAS) questionnaire as given in the article by Viola et al, will be used after permission from the authors, to investigate the preoperative anxiety of patients undergoing surgery during the 4th wave of the pandemic
