Active clinical trials for "Stress Disorders, Post-Traumatic"

The long term goal for the Traumatic Injury Research Program (TIRP) is testing of novel devices for the identification and longitudinal assessment of traumatic brain injury (TBI). DoD (United States Department of Defense) has now tasked TIRP with the test and evaluation of these devices to assess reliability and validity. The objective of this effort is to test the reliability of the NKI, Inc, (NeuroKinetics, Inc) i-PAS device using a test/re-test protocol with healthy controls. The research design is test/re-test, with three assessments obtained on three separate visits. This will allow the assessment of reliability of both the device and the measure(s) that are computed from the input signals. Participants will be Healthy Controls (HC) as defined in the inclusion exclusion section. In this initial study, investigators will be administering standardized self-report instruments (Standard Form 36 - SF36, and Symptom Checklist 90r, or SCL-90r), standard three-lead EKG. In addition they will administer the NKI i-PAS specific protocol as delineated by NKI.

The scientific approach of this project proposes to build a cohort of "psychological injuries" post-attack of 13 November 2015. This is called patients "involved", ie patients who directly witnessed the events and having the most either came under automatic gunfire or were close to an explosion, whether or not physically injured. The main objective is to define and validate a model of transition from acute stress disorder (ASD) to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for better detection of the risk of unfavorable and thus better patient supported. The first step is to determine independent risk factors found in analytic prospective cohort study. Bayesian models are well suited to exercise because they can integrate (i) the context related to the patient, (ii) the context related to the trauma itself, and (iii) the immediate reactions and long-term to the latter . They are particularly suited to understanding the brain disordered by saying down information (prior probability) wrong by improper memory of the traumatic event. The confrontation of these descending information and perceived bottom-information could be partly responsible for the symptoms of PTSD. Once validated, the model will characterize the individual level the most at risk of unfavorable patients (calculating a probability of developing PTSD) and to assess the epidemiological impact on long-term cohort of event considered. These determinations are necessary prerequisites to optimize the means of support for these current and future casualties. The investigators main objective is to define a Bayesian model describing a resilient functioning facing a trauma which also allows to describe a possible evolution of the ASD to PTSD by an error. The state of PTSD or not will be determined by the PCL-S scale.

Intraoperative awareness which means the recall of experiences recorded in patients' memories during general anesthesia in the postoperative period is an important issue in anesthesia practice. The aims of this study are to investigate the incidence and causes of awareness during general anesthesia, incidence of dreaming during anesthesia, intra-operative experiences of patients who report awareness, the risk factors that may be associated with awareness, to analyze the frequency of posttraumatic stress disorder in cases with awareness and possible awareness, the risk factors that may be associated with PTSD in Turkish adults. Adult patients will be evaluated 4 time following emergence (a) One hour after emergence, (b) Twenty four hour after emergence (c) One week after emergence (d) One month after emergence. The first interview will be made face-to-face in the recovery unit, and other interviews will be made by phone. Each interview will be conducted using the same structured interview (Brice Interview). Descriptive statistics will be used to determine the incidence of awareness. χ2 test will be used for comparison between groups. Logistic regression will be used to determine the risk factors associated with awareness and PTSD. We believe that this study will contribute to the prevention of the problem by determining the real frequency and causes of intraoperative awareness under general anesthesia, determining the experiences and results of patients, and analyzing the associated risk factors.

This qualitative study with quantitative elements examines the health care provided to women who suffered from mental disorder during pregnancy and / or in the first year after birth (i.e. during the perinatal phase). Investigators will perform individual interviews with former PMD patients, and health and social care professionals to gain insights into current health care for PMD patients.

From July to September 2020, in a first uncontrolled cohort study, 478 patients who were hospitalized at Bicêtre hospital for COVID-19 and who survived were evaluated at 4 months (publication accepted at JAMA). The current project aims to bring together the means to continue this work during the 2nd epidemic wave.

Acute respiratory insufficiency is one of the principal causes of intensive care admission for COVID 19 positive patients. This may determine a variable mortality rate ranging from 25-30%. In these patients, many days of non-invasive or invasive mechanical ventilation are needed to correct severe hypoxemia. Mechanical ventilation is not a direct therapy but allows the clinicians to prolong the "time-to-recovery" interval necessary for COVID 19 respiratory insufficiency treatment. Long intensive care stay, mechanical ventilation, the use of steroids and sedatives have an impact on the survivors. Previous studies demonstrated that patients admitted to intensive care with non-COVID acute respiratory distress syndrome had a reduction in the quality of life even up to one year after discharge. The aim of this study is to understand if COVID-19 related acute respiratory distress syndrome has a worse impact on the quality of life one year after discharge when compared with non-COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome.

The purpose of this study is to examine a possible link between the time of day of exposure to a traumatic event and the risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder. Clinical and biological correlates will also be examined from this perspective.

Determination of incidence and prevalence of PTSD and other types of psychopathology (such as anxiety and affective disorders) after traumatic birth experiences and elucidation of salient risk factors in the local population sample- by prospective follow-up.

Reports of maternal seroconversion to CMV during pregnancy can be extremely stressful. This virus is little known to the general public and searching for information on the Internet quickly leads to a consultation of a site mentioning the risk of severe psychomotor retardation in the event of prenatal cytomegalovirus infection. The psychological repercussions in the event of prenatal CMV infection with criteria of severity, leading or not to a request for IMG, is undeniable, but no study has investigated the consequences of seroconversion to CMV without transmission of the virus to the patient fetus, or in the case of transmission without criteria of seriousness, on the patient's experience during and after her pregnancy. Such a study would, if necessary, improve the care and support of these future mothers
