NCT04415528
Canadians 65 and older experience anxiety at a rate of 6.4%, affecting more than 300,000 people. In Ontario, 5.6% of adults 65 and older have anxiety, representing over 100,000 people. Eastern Ontario primary care clinics report significantly higher numbers of adults 65 and older diagnosed with anxiety at between 28% and 30%, representing approximately 4,600 people diagnosed with anxiety. Costs to the Canadian health care system of anxiety in community dwelling adults aged 65 and older have been estimated at $61.2 to $119.8 million per 1,000,000 people. These costs can reasonably be expected to increase by 2021 when the percentage of older adults 65+ with mental illness is estimated to be approximately 30% of the older population base. Anxiety in older adults has been linked retaining new information and the instrumental activities of daily living, sleep disturbance, suicidal ideation particularly among men, and increased use of health care services. Present pharmacological treatments for anxiety in older adults have met with limited success. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) are an area of research interest in the treatment of anxiety. The use of MBIs has shown a trend toward self-reported lower levels of chronic stress and psychological stress among older adults small scale RCTs and qualitative studies. Emotion focused mindfulness meditation therapy (EFMT) is a MBI that shows promise. EFMT has been demonstrated to reduce symptoms of anxiety in general populations. EFMT's focus on meditation and the felt sense of emotions, rather than learning new material, may make it a promising intervention for reducing symptoms of anxiety for older adults who often report normal aging problems such as general forgetfulness and difficulty with word recall. EFMT may be a potentially promising intervention that has not yet been tested in older adults. EFMT can be offered in primary care, community and hospital settings. Further research is required to determine if EFMT could reduce anxiety for older adults.
NCT03445130
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of lavender aromatherapy on preoperative anxiety by measuring changes in pulse rate and anxiety core using Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Index questionnaires and on postoperative pain medicine usage. Study participants will then be randomized into one of four groups; either they will receive 2 drops of lavender (Lavandula Angustifolia) oil (LO) or 2 drops of Michelia Alba Leaf oil (MA) or 2 drops of unscented Almond oil (AO) or two drops water on the inside of an oxygen face mask for 15 minutes. Linalool makes up \~30% of Lavandula Angustifolia oil and is believed to be its most active anti-anxiety component. Before and after treatment, anxiety level will be measured using the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory.
NCT05246332
The investigators explore the effectiveness of grounding as a non-pharmacological therapy for treating sleep disturbances, anxiety, and depression in patients with mild AD.
NCT05221489
Nulliparous women experience more anxiety and stress during their first transition to motherhood during pregnancy due to inexperience. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of listening to lullabies and the music of their choice at home on reducing the anxiety and stress experienced by nulliparous pregnant women. This parallel randomized controlled trial was conducted in the obstetrics and gynecology outpatient clinics of a university hospital in eastern Turkey. Lullaby group (LG) recorded only the lullaby chosen by the researcher at home for 30 minutes a day for 2 weeks; mix music group (MG) listened to any of the music recordings presented to them by the researcher. The control group (CG) received general care only. Antenatal stress and anxiety levels were evaluated at the beginning and end of the study.
NCT03346239
The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical efficacy and neuro-cognitive mechanisms of Gaze-Contingent Usic Reward Therapy for social anxiety disorder, compared with treatment with SSRIs or waitlist control.
NCT05204043
Cardiac surgery patients often undergo anxiousness and pain. Before surgery, anxiety is often caused by the idea of sternotomy, extracorporeal circulation, fear of post-operative pain, and even death. After surgery anxiety and pain can be the consequences of operative and peri-operative procedures. The investigators believe that reducing stress and pain by a relaxation therapy would lead to better stay in hospital and a better recovery after surgery. Music Care® relaxation technique consists into listening to an audio relaxing soundtrack chosen by the patient. This technique has already proven with several clinical studies its efficiency for reducing pain and anxiety in hospital. The research consists of comparing this technique to Peter Hess® sound massage for reducing pain and anxiety. The Peter Hess® sound massage is a holistic relaxation technique that uses sound vibrations generated by therapeutic singing bowls. Patients will be randomized in one of the two groups (Music Care® or Peter Hess®).

NCT04411771
The overarching goal of primary care is to offer all patients individualized and context-sensitive healthcare with high access and continuity. One of the reasons primary care struggles with this goal is that many patients suffer from mental health problems, while there is a lack of psychosocial resources as well as clear pathways for these patients. Primary care behavioural health (PCBH, in Swedish IBH) is an innovative way of organizing primary care, where psychosocial resources have more and shorter visits, strive for same-day access, and have an active consulting role in the primary care team. To help patients with achieving relevant behavior changes, so called Brief Interventions are used. However, these interventions have not been systematically evaluated in the same way that CBT has, and there is a risk that patients that would have benefitted from structured CBT are undertreated. This study is a pilot study preparing for a large multicenter study that will be conducted starting in late 2020. The investigators want to find out if an addition of an extended evaluation and possibility of treatment with guided CBT self-help can increase the treatment effects of PCBH on patient functioning and symptoms, compared to standard PCBH with a contextual assessment and brief interventions. In the process, the investigators are also conducting one of the first RCT on brief interventions. As this is a pilot study, the feasibility of implementing the study protocol in regular healthcare is also tested in order to collect high-quality data while creating minimal disturbance in the centers' ordinary routines. PCBH has the potential to increase the quality of care for patients with mental health problems. This study is the first to step towards answering the question if the effects of brief intervention are large enough to merit large-scale implementation, and if an add-on of other brief and easily implemented treatments can increase them.
NCT05197413
This is an open-label observational crossover trial to study the efficacy of a commercial dietary supplement and its effect on common symptoms of IBS (such as bloating, gas, heartburn, and other symptoms).
NCT04726475
The purpose of this study is to test whether cannabidiol (CBD) rich hemp extract oil can interfere with the reconsolidation (storage) of pathological fear memory in humans.
NCT04846907
Health professionals are extremely exposed to psychosocial risks, as they experience, in general, high levels of stress, anxiety, fatigue and suffering, due to the nature and location of their work. As a result, the health and well being of these professionals can be significantly compromised. In outbreaks of serious infectious diseases and pandemics, these risks become amplified and the health team is at greater risk of falling ill, presenting changes in mental health and psychological trauma, while caring for infected patients and becoming potential contaminants in their family and community. The objective is to study the mental health of professionals who work in Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs) in Brazil, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The primary outcome will be the prevalence of burnout in the team involved with the care of critically ill children. Secondary outcomes such as anxiety, depression, quality of professional life, compassionate fatigue and post-traumatic stress disorder will be measured. Possible associations between demographic, work and coping variables (social support and resilience) with mental and emotional health outcomes will be investigated, in an exploratory character. It is a multicenter, observational, longitudinal study, with a descriptive and exploratory analytical component. Data collection will be carried out through an electronic survey during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
NCT05191407
Psychological support may be needed to help patients in the face of emotional disturbances that may be associated with the outbreak and to help them accomplish their fear and anxiety. Due to the increasing fear of COVID-19 transmission during the pandemic, patients may develop treatment avoidance behavior in dental practices. If the fear and anxiety levels of the patients can be determined, it may be easy to offer special approaches to them.
NCT03092609
Anxiety disorders are one of the most common psychological disorders. Underlying anxiety is an increased attentional bias to threat, which has been identified as a causal contributor in the development of anxiety. Given this causal relationship, attention bias modification was introduced as a treatment option where anxiety is reduced by training individuals to direct their attention away from threat and thereby decreasing anxiety. Over a decade of research using this approach, called attention bias modification (ABM), suggests that overall the approach is effective in reducing anxiety. Although ABM appears to be a very promising treatment option for anxiety, there are several factors limiting the effectiveness of ABM. These include the recognition of individual-level needs and a known underlying mechanism of action by which ABM is effective. Neuroimaging evidence suggests that attentional bias to visual threat is associated with a network of brain regions including the amygdala, anterior cingulate cortex, and visual cortex. In human participants, experience-dependent neuroplasticity is visible in voxel-based morphometry based measures of gray matter volume following training. Recently, voxel-based morphometry measures of gray matter volume have been linked to dendritic spine density-a known cellular mechanism for learning-related neuroplasticity. Thus, voxel-based morphometry measures are ideally suited to measure learning-related neuroplasticity following attention bias modification. In this proposal participants' level of attentional bias, anxiety, and gray matter volume will be measured before and after completing six weeks of attention bias modification training (N = 50) or attention control training (N= 50). The proposal aims to (1) establish that pre-treatment bias predicts variability in gray matter volume in the extended amygdala and anterior cingulate cortex, (2) assess the extent to which reduced extended amygdala and anterior cingulate cortex gray matter volume following ABM underlies reductions in attentional bias and anxiety, and (3) Establish pre-treatment bias as a predictor of successful ABM as measured by reduced bias, reduced anxiety, and reduced gray matter volume in the extended amygdala and anterior cingulate cortex. Consistent with the objectives of the AREA grant and NIMH's focus on identifying and validating new targets for treatment development that underlie disease mechanisms, the current proposal plans to involve students at a rural primarily undergraduate university in a research project aimed at establishing neuroplasticity in the extended amygdala and anterior cingulate cortex as a target mechanism for ABM training outcome, which could be used to objectively track training-related outcomes in anxiety treatment.
NCT03522844
We propose the first randomized, controlled study to assess the comparative effectiveness of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) with a medication for anxiety disorders. We will use escitalopram, gold-standard SSRI treatment for patients with anxiety disorders, and will examine the comparative effectiveness of the two treatments on anxiety symptoms and other outcomes important to patients.
NCT04773197
This project's overall goal is to test the feasibility, acceptability and efficacy of two coach-assisted, computer-based, cognitive- behavioral therapy (C-CBT) interventions in treating depression and anxiety in adolescent and young adult cancer survivors. The two coach-assisted interventions will be compared to the standard C-CBT intervention.
NCT05179096
Background and study aims: Mindfulness is a mental state that can be achieved through meditation. So far, studies have shown that practicing mindfulness on a consistent and regular basis can improve attentional functions and emotional well-being. Mindfulness has recently begun to be used in the field of child development. The aim of this study is to assess if a mindfulness program may help primary school students in reducing anxiety and depression while also improving their temperament. Who can participate? Students attending the fourth or fifth year of primary school What does the study involve? Participants will be randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. Participants in the experimental group will undergo an 8-week mindfulness training program with weekly 60-minute group sessions, while the control group will follow routine daily school activities. Questionnaires will be used to assess temperament, anxiety and depression before and after the intervention. What are the possible benefits and risks of participating? Benefits of participating in the study may include a lowering of anxiety and depression levels, as well as an improvement of temperament.
NCT05147883
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of exercise on quality of life, sleep quality and anxiety in patients with prediabetes.
NCT05109507
Two-arm, parallel group randomized clinical trial conducted via Mturk comparing a single-session web-based intervention called Visitor Mindset versus a control intervention (nature videos with relaxing music) for adults with depression and/or anxiety symptoms
NCT05172427
Anxiety disorders are prominent mental health burdens, affecting roughly 1 in 5 adults annually, and a third of individuals over the course of their life. These disorders are also impairing to individuals, with 23% of individuals with anxiety disorders describing their impairment as serious. Given the public health impact, it is crucial that interventions are designed to alleviate symptoms of anxiety, through reducing risk factors that predispose individuals to develop anxiety. One approach to do this is to develop brief interventions that could be administered virtually, which can then be supplemented using ecological momentary intervention (EMI) to reduce risk factors for anxiety disorders. In contrast to targeting more distant risk factors, targeting more direct risk factors, such as intolerance of uncertainty, could be used in the prevention and treatment of anxiety disorders.
NCT04413773
The reduction of preoperative anxiety in children and adolescents before an elective surgical procedure is an important clinical question in perioperative care. Adequate, age-appropriate patient information about the processes of the inpatient stay plays an important role in order to address possible worries and fears to reduce. The medium video is popular with children and adolescents today and offers the possibility of an easily understandable and vivid presentation of information.
