Psychoeducative Treatment of FEP With Mobile Training

PsychosisPsychological1 more

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an online intervention through a mobile application, specifically designed for adolescents with a First Psychotic Episode (FEP), as a complement to the pharmacological and therapeutic interventions they receive at their referral center (Treatment as usual). To do this, a longitudinal study will be carried out on patients with FEP and between the ages of 14 and 19, who come to the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Service of the General Universitarian Hospital "Gregorio Marañón" in Madrid. Adolescents will be randomly assigned to an experimental group, where they will receive standard treatment plus online intervention, or a control group, where they will receive standard treatment. This online intervention, the continuation of the work of this same team researcher in the "PIENSA program", aims to address little of the more traditional treatments and treatments such as community functioning, quality of life or affective symptoms. In addition, it will increase disease awareness, which will lead to greater adherence to treatment and fewer relapses and rehospitalizations.

Effectiveness of a Mindfulness-based Group Training Addressing Social Cognition in First Episode...

Schizophrenia and Disorders With Psychotic FeaturesPsychotic Episode

The current investigation aims to compare two group intervention in patients with a first episode of psychosis, that is, people who have suffered their first psychotic episode within 5 years prior to their inclusion in the study. The experimental arm is a mindfulness-based social cognition training (SocialMind) designed by professionals with both formal training and clinical experience in the field of mindfulness and third generation cognitive-behavioral therapies. The active comparator arm is a psychoeducation program specifically designed for individuals with recent onset psychosis by members of the team with great experience in delivering such interventions. The main outcome is social functioning, as measured by the Personal and Social Performance Scale (PSP), an instrument developed for psychotic patients. The main hypothesis is that the improvement in social functioning will be larger among the participants on the experimental arm, because there is enough evidence suggesting that deficits in social cognition are present even in the first stages of psychotic syndrome and related to social functioning and general disability. Moreover, mindfulness-based interventions have proven themselves effective in other severe mental disorders.

Cognitive Remediation and Social Recovery in Early Psychosis

Psychosis

This intervention trial explores the feasibility, effectiveness and acceptability of a novel psycho-social intervention for early psychosis based on a combined cognitive remediation training and cognitive behavioural therapy approach focused on social recovery. The impact of the CReSt-R intervention on social cognition as a primary outcome will be explored in addition to secondary outcome measures such as social and occupational functioning ( Detailed further in this registration). Feasibility of the trial design and the acceptability of the CReSt-R intervention to the target group, 16-35 year olds who are within the first 5 years of a diagnosed psychotic illness, are also explored in this trial.

A Treatment Engagement Protocol for Psychiatrically Hospitalized Adolescents at Clinical High Risk...

Psychosis Nos/Other

The current study explores the development and use of a family engagement intervention for psychiatrically hospitalized adolescents with emerging psychosis symptoms. The program is designed to increase understanding of mental health symptoms and promote motivation for engagement in outpatient services. Findings from this study may inform ways to effectively educate and engage youth at clinical high risk for psychosis, and their families, in treatment that may be critical for improving future functioning and outcomes.

Enhancement of a Psychotherapeutic Intervention Through Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation...

Psychiatric Disorder

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), is a neuromodulatory technique, that is safe, well-tolerated, easy to administer and fairly inexpensive. Results from tDCS trials involving participants with several neuropsychiatric disorders, including major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and substance use disorder are encouraging. The clinical effects of tDCS are broad; the underlying condition, the areas stimulated together with the type and duration of stimulation are important factors. In patients with neuropsychiatric conditions, a reduction of symptoms, an enhancement of neurocognitive functions together with an overall improvement in functionality and wellbeing have been consistently reported. These effects emerge during the stimulation period, in the weeks after stimulation, the effects seem to peak and consolidate further. tDCS appears to enhance the effects of other interventions as well; however, to date, there have been no studies into the effects of using tDCS as an add-on intervention to psychotherapy on symptoms and wellbeing

EEG Outcomes From Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Psychosis

Psychotic DisordersSchizophrenia and Related Disorders

Despite overwhelming evidence for neurocognitive and neurophysiological factors involved in the etiology of psychosis, these factors have never been examined as mechanisms of improvement from CBTp. The first aim in the present study is to examine neurophysiological outcomes from CBTp using electroencephalography (EEG). The second aim is to examine neurocognitive outcomes from CBTp. This is an open-label pilot study. Twenty participants will receive CBTp and will be assessed at baseline and after 4 months.

Application of UP for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders for UHR for Psychosis Patients...

Emotional DysfunctionPsychosis

The principal aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of the Unified Protocol (UP) for the treatment of the comorbid symptomatology of patients with Ultra High Risk (UHR) for psychosis. The secondary aims would be to assess the effects of the intervention with the UP on the subthreshold positive symptoms and the transition to psychosis rates at 3 months follow-up, insight, positive and negative emotions, emotion regulation skills, personality, quality of life, cognitive distortions, psychosocial functioning and the maintenance of the effects at the 3 months of follow-up. The study is a randomised controlled trial in which a group will receive inmediate UP plus standard intervention and the other one will be in a waiting list plus standard care at our Early Psychosis Program (PIPPEP). The evaluator will be blind to the group that owns every patients. The sample will be 42 patients with UHR for psychosis with comorbid emotional symptoms and are visited at the PIPPEP of the CSMA Ripollet (PSSJD). The assessment will be performed at baseline, at the end of treatment and at three months follow-up and will include: general psychopathology (SCID), anxiety and depression (BDI-II, BAI), positive and negative emotions (PANAS), emotional disregulation (DERS), personality (NEO-FFI), functionality (EEASL, MI), quality of life (QLI-sp), cognitive distortions (CBQ), insight (BCIS) and a scale of satisfaction created ad-hoc. At the end of each session with the UP we will assess depression and anxiety during the last week (ODSIS, OASIS). Treatment with the UP will consist in 15 group sessions of 8 patients, 120 minutes in addition to the treatment as usual.
