Active clinical trials for "Suicidal Ideation"

The goal of this program is to test a brief, online, cognitive behavioral intervention for people who struggle with self-harm or suicidal urges or behavior in the context of emotion-related impulsivity.

The aim of this pilot study is to reduce suicide among sexual and gender diverse youth ages 18-24 years old. This pilot study will compare two brief suicide prevention interventions that have been adapted for use with this population to use in primary care via telehealth and will recruit 40 youth from 4-6 primary care clinics in the Dallas and Austin, Texas metropolitan areas. Each clinic will be randomly assigned to deliver one of the two study interventions.

This study will monitor the symptoms of patients who have received an intervention on the psychiatric inpatient unit at Stanford hospital up to 6 months after they have received the intervention. Additionally, the acceptability and feasibility of interventions will be assessed using clinician and patient questionnaires.

The overall goal of this research is to better understand if and how the Elders' Resilience Curriculum (ERC), a culturally grounded, school-based upstream suicide prevention program taught by White Mountain Apache Tribe (WMAT) Elders to youth, promotes connectedness, cultural strengths, and reasons for living among American Indian youth.

This study compares the efficacy of music therapy associated with standard care versus the standard care alone on the psychological pain in suicidal patients.

Higher rates of depression are reported by autistic adolescents as compared to their non-autistic peers, which is problematic given adverse outcomes (e.g., negative self-esteem, lower academic performance) that are associated with depression. Despite the alarming rates of depression in autistic youth and associated safety concerns, few treatments have been developed. In this study, we investigate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of an autism-adapted group cognitive-behavioral treatment for autistic adolescents (11-17 years old; middle and high school) in a pilot, nonrandomized trial. Specifically, we aim to increase adolescents' perception and understanding of self, including autistic identity, in order to treat depression. Intervention design and implementation were guided by autistic self-advocates and parents.

The goal of this study was to determine whether reading about others' experiences with suicide can help reduce suicidal thoughts. To investigate this issue, the investigators recruited users from an internet support community. The investigators randomized participants to two separate groups: a Treatment group and a Control group. Participants in the treatment group read one first-person narrative about suicide each day for 14 days, and answered questions before and after reading the narrative. Participants in the Control group answered questions once per day during the 14-day trial period and did not receive the narrative intervention until after the initial study ended. All participants completed a follow-up questionnaire two weeks after the end of the 14-day trial period.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of intranasal esketamine 84 milligram (mg) compared with intranasal placebo in addition to comprehensive standard of care in reducing the symptoms of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), including suicidal ideation, in participants who are assessed to be at imminent risk for suicide, as measured by the change from baseline on the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score at 24 hours post first dose.

The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) provides rapid reduction and sustained attenuation of suicidal crisis. TMS is a treatment for suicidal crisis that is quicker, less invasive, better tolerated, and with fewer side effects than current treatments such as Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) and medication therapies. There will be 6 months of follow-up, in order to establish the ongoing and lasting therapeutic effect of TMS.

Alcohol use is considered to be a significant risk factor among those who die by suicide, especially among those who drink to regulate their emotions. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of treatment outcome research for suicidal heavy drinkers. Further, treatments that target this population must be maximally effective, with promise for wide dissemination. The application of technology has been increasingly utilized as an efficacious and acceptable way to rapidly disseminate evidence-base treatment. However, these methods are used infrequently for individuals deemed too high risk for computerized treatment. Along these lines, the goal of this project is to begin a line of research focused on developing interventions to reduce heavy drinking and risk for suicide through the use of technology. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills training is an effective intervention for behaviors associated with emotion dysregulation including addictive and suicidal behaviors. Further, DBT skills use has been identified as the active ingredient for treatment effectiveness; thus, a skills training intervention delivered via the Internet has the capacity to be a potent and efficient method of treatment delivery. The goal of this research is to establish a proof of concept for developing and evaluating a potentially efficacious and acceptable intervention for heavy episodic drinkers who are suicidal. Specifically, this project proposes to conduct a randomized controlled pilot trial of a computerized DBT skills training intervention for suicidal individuals who engage in heavy episodic drinking (HED) to regulate emotions. The project's aims are to conduct a randomized controlled pilot trial of cDBT vs. a Wait-list control (WL). This pilot trial is not intended to demonstrate that cDBT works better than other interventions in improving clinical indices, but rather to determine whether further revisions of the cDBT intervention are needed and will inform the design of a subsequent full-scale randomized controlled trial.
