Active clinical trials for "Suicide"

This study will examine the effectiveness of combining cognitive therapy with enriched usual care for preventing subsequent suicide attempts in people with a drug dependence who have recently attempted suicide.

This study will determine the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in preventing future suicide attempts in repeat suicide attempters.

The current project is a pilot randomized controlled trial to test the Coping Long-term with Active Suicide Program for schizophrenia-spectrum disorders (CLASP-S) for patients following a psychiatric hospitalization. Participants will be assigned to enhanced treatment as usual (ETAU) alone vs CLASP-S plus ETAU. Participants complete assessments at baseline during their psychiatric hospitalization and at 3 months (mid-treatment) and 6 months (post-treatment) following discharge. The primary aim is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of CLASP-S. The secondary aim is to estimate the effects of CLASP-S on reducing suicidal thoughts and behaviors relative to ETAU.

Youth suicide risk has increased 56% in the last decade, and suicide is the leading cause of preventable death in children and adolescents. Experiencing chronic nightmares doubles the risk of suicidal ideation in children and adolescents. Decades of research support that even when controlling for depression and insomnia, nightmares predict suicidality. Contemporary theories model nightmares as the mediating link between depression and suicide. Numerous studies examine the effect of nightmare-specific therapies on reducing suicide in adults, but none have examined whether nightmare therapies can reduce youth suicidality. The proposed pilot will evaluate the feasibility of the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Nightmares in Children paradigm (CBT-NC), recruiting and retaining children ages 6-17 who experience chronic nightmares. Utilizing a waitlist control (WL) model, participants (n=30) will be randomized after baseline assessment to either immediate treatment or a WL. Feasibility will be evaluated by examining retention through treatment (or WL) to post WL and post treatment assessments. Both groups will be evaluated before and after the treatment for suicidal ideation, sleep quality, and nightmare distress and frequency, in order to document improvements due to therapy. The proposed pilot will provide preliminary data about recruitment, retention, and allow for effect size calculations between groups. These results will be used to develop a larger treatment study that would ultimately evaluate the mediating effect of treatment for chronic nightmares on suicidality in children.

The main goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness ofMindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy aimed at reducing suicidality in adults. This will test the effectiveness by studying the effect on suicidal ideation and related outcomes, compared to Treatment As Usual. The study is a multicentre randomized controlled trial conducted in out-patient Flemish mental healthcare facilities.

The broad objective of this research is to effectively utilize a unique window of opportunity during the hospitalization period following a recent suicide attempt to deliver a brief and targeted intervention for suicidal individuals.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intranasal esketamine 84 milligram (mg) compared with intranasal placebo along with standard care treatment, in reducing the symptoms of major depressive disorder (MDD) (an affective disorder manifested by either a dysphoric mood or loss of interest or pleasure in usual activities, the mood disturbance is prominent and relatively persistent), including the risk for suicide as assessed by the Investigator, in participants who will be assessed to be at imminent risk for suicide.

This study will evaluate the efficacy of attachment based family therapy (ABFT) for treatment of suicidality in adolescents. The study will compare 16 weeks of treatment with ABFT to a control condition Family Enhanced Non-directive Supportive Therapy (FE-NST).

The purpose of this study is to test a psychotherapeutic intervention that integrates cognitive therapy and mindfulness meditation techniques to prevent suicide in military Veterans.
