Health and Sleep Assessment After the Strasbourg Attacks of December 11, 2018

Stress DisordersPost-Traumatic

Evaluation of the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), associated risk factors, health care consumption, and sleep disorders in a civilian population exposed to the December 11, 2018, attacks in Strasbourg. Terrorist attacks have unfortunately become all too frequent on our territory in recent years. A better knowledge of the psychological and psychiatric repercussions on exposed populations is essential in order to better prevent and treat disorders that can have a major functional impact on the lives of exposed individuals and to adapt care during future similar events

Concentrated Exposure Therapy for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder - a Cohort Study

PTSD

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a prevalent and disabling condition. Trauma-focused psychotherapy, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), are among the recommended first-line treatment alternatives. However, a substantial proportion of patients decline, drop-out or do not respond to current psychotherapies. Previous research suggests that intensive or concentrated formats of trauma-focused psychotherapy can lead to faster recover and lower attrition, but there are currently few studies of these approaches. The current study will investigate the acceptability. treatment satisfaction and preliminary changes in symptoms after four consecutive days of concentrated CBT for PTSD.

Neuropsychological Sequelae and Long COVID-19 Fatigue

Anxiety DepressionPost Traumatic Stress Disorder4 more

An association of fatigue with post-viral neuropsychological disturbs has been reported. Among patients hospitalized with COVID-19 there is an increased incidence of anxiety and depression symptoms. In addition, a quarter of patients experience at least mild symptoms of acute post traumatic stress disorder. (Mazza, M. G. et al 2020). The prevalence of chronic fatigue syndrome had a correlation with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a study conducted after the outbreak of the COVID-19 in Iran (Silmani et al, 2021), that showed 5.8% of subjects suffering from PTSD after 6 months of SARS-CoV-2 infection onset. In this Study we propose to use a tool to quantify the degree of physical and psychological fatigue in post-COVID-19 patients, and assess the correlation of fatigue with the neuropsychiatric sequelae in hospitalized and non hospitalized patients.

Long-term Quality of Life and Prognostic Factors in Severe COVID-19 Patients and Their Relatives...

COVID-19Quality of Life3 more

The first wave of the global SARSCoV2 pandemic in March and April 2020 hit many regions of the world hard, including our Grand Est region, which had to reorganize its healthcare system in an emergency and in an unprecedented manner. The morbidity and mortality linked to this 1st wave is already very high, with mortality in intensive care units reaching 40% in the most affected regions. Mortality, particularly in the short term, has long been the cornerstone of critical care evaluation. The development of resuscitation techniques in recent years has led to a substantial improvement in the survival of more and more patients, but also older and more polypathological patients. However, this hard criterion of mortality seems nowadays a little obsolete, making it prefer on the one hand the evaluation of the mortality in the longer term, but also and especially the evaluation of the quality of this survival. The interest has therefore shifted in recent years towards the long-term evaluation of criteria more focused on the patient but also on the family. Current data in pathologies such as Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or severe sepsis concur to show that these are invariably associated with an alteration in quality of life, in all the domains of its original definition by the World Health Organization (WHO), and are at the origin of a "post-resuscitation syndrome". COVID19 is marked in 5 to 10% of cases by a severe septic picture, with multivisceral dysfunction, and pulmonary involvement in the foreground. The existence of so-called "long COVID" clinical pictures already described in the literature and the media, and especially the obvious arrival of a second wave and perhaps others, make it necessary to study the long-term prognosis of this emerging infection. The aim of this work is to quantify in a multimodal way the long-term quality of life of patients surviving a severe form of COVID19 and their families and to try to identify elements related to the patient, the COVID19, or the management, which predict this quality of survival. The theme concerned is on the one hand epidemiological and risk assessment for the populations, and on the other hand preventive and curative of late sequelae.

Prevalence of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Related to Diabetes Diagnosis or Severe Hypoglycaemia...

Type 1 Diabetes

In France, the adult population living with diabetes in 2016 is estimated at more than 3.3 million patients treated. Type 1 diabetes (T1DM) represents 5.6% of diabetic patients (approximately 185,000 patients). Numerous studies show that patients fear hypoglycemia, with an impact on their quality of life, sleep disorders and depressive symptoms. In addition, there is a metabolic impact with a problem of therapeutic compliance and an alteration of glycemic control. This study examine the relation between Post Traumatic Stress disorder (PTSD) and diabetes diagnosis or severe hypoglycaemia in adults with Type 1 Diabetes. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of PTSD in this population.

Targeting the Default Mode Network: A TMS-fMRI Study

Post Traumatic Stress DisorderPTSD

In post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), intrusive, traumatic, autobiographical memories lead to anxiety symptoms. Recent work suggests a new repetitive pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) brain target that might bring relief. Since this proposed target is not well understood, our goal is to use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to identify the brain regions and networks that change with rTMS stimulation at this target area in PTSD patients. It is our hope that our work will lead to a personalized approach to rTMS treatment of PTSD based on brain imaging that can be used in a future clinical trial. Participants will be asked to complete psychological testing and questionnaires as well as an initial MRI and two separate TMS-fMRI sessions. Total participation time across all visits is estimated to be five to six hours. Research participation will take place at VA Palo Alto as well as at Stanford University.

Facilitating Transition to Recommended PTSD Treatment

PTSD

Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) and prolonged exposure therapy (PE) were widely disseminated as recommended posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatments. However, post-9/11 Veterans with PTSD rarely initiate CPT or PE, especially as an initial treatment. Little research has explored the combinations and sequences of psychosocial and medication treatments that Veterans receive ("treatment sequences"). One common and understudied treatment sequence begins with stabilization treatment, which is designed to prepare Veterans for CPT or PE. There is a significant research gap in understanding how treatment sequence affects initiation of CPT or PE. The proposed research is an innovative, mixed-methods approach to assessing the impact of variability in treatment sequence, including stabilization treatment, on initiation of CPT or PE and applying this knowledge by developing a health services intervention that facilitates timely transition to CPT or PE. Research aims can improve PTSD treatment by increasing initiation of and reducing disparities in CPT/PE.

tDCS and Inhibitory Control in PTSD

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Large samples (~2,000/yr) of adult undergraduate students at a large southern university will be pre-screened via the University of Kentucky SONA System (IRB#43626) to identify and recruit adult female participants who report a history of IPV and probable PTSD to participate in a one-day lab study. After completing an IRB-approved informed consent, participants will complete a brief psychiatric diagnostic interview and a battery of questionnaires. They will then complete three blocks of the Stop Signal Task (SST). Participants will be randomized (double-blind, stratified by PTSD diagnosis and psychotropic medication use) to receive 15-min of active or sham multifocal tDCS targeting the rIFG. tDCS will be delivered offline for 11.5-mins after block 1 of the SST and online for 3.5-mins during block 2 of the SST. Sham stimulation will be identical to active tDCS, but electrical current will only be ramped in/out at the beginning and end of the 15-mins. The third block of the SST will be completed after tDCS. Lastly, participants will complete a pictorial trauma-related symptom provocation task. Participants will be compensated with course credit.

Advancing Couple and Family Alcohol Treatment Through Patient-Oriented Research and Mentorship

Alcohol Use DisorderPosttraumatic Stress Disorder1 more

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious public health problem that results in significant health and economic burdens including mortality, morbidity, and poor treatment outcomes. A well-developed field of research suggests that alcohol misuse and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can lead to IPV. Individuals with PTSD and/or problematic drinking behaviors are at risk for IPV because of several factors that are common symptoms of PTSD. Because individuals with PTSD often drink alcohol to "self-medicate" or cope with distressing PTSD symptoms, PTSD co-occurs with alcohol misuse and alcohol use disorder at extraordinarily high rates. However, few studies have examined the combined effects of alcohol misuse and PTSD on any form of violence. This study will examine the effects of alcohol misuse and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) on alcohol-related intimate partner violence (IPV). We will examine these associations among couples (N=70) in a controlled laboratory setting using validated, standardized methods in a 'real-world' settings using 28 days of ecological momentary assessment (EMA).
