NCT06316804
Major depressive and anxiety disorders are highly prevalent in the general population and are a leading cause of disability. Black adults have a high burden of depression and anxiety. This study aims to assess a self- administered video-based intervention to reduce mental illness stigma and medical mistrust among Black adults with moderate to severe depression or anxiety.
NCT06277232
The investigators' purpose is to develop and test the feasibility, usability, and satisfaction of the Diet4painrelief app as a platform for implementing nutrition care in a specialist pain rehabilitation clinic. The Diet4painrelief will consist of two components: a) a screening tool for nutrition status b) an individually tailored behavior change program aiming to improve the dietary habits and behaviors of patients living with chronic pain. Part I: Included 20 patients with complex chronic pain to examine the feasibility and outcomes of evidence-based Interdisciplinary Pain Rehabilitation Program (IPRP) integrated with nutrition care. The Diet4painrelief includes a screening tool to assess basic nutritional status as well as their intake of key unhealthy and healthy foods and drinks (through three 24hour-dietary recordings or food diary). Thereafter, the patients receive a personalized behavior change program for dietary optimization. The investigators will design and adapt 6 modules in the digital platform (Diet4painrelief app) based on the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) recommendations (6 aspects about 'nutrition and pain') and Sweden's food culture. Clinical outcomes using patient-reported data on socio-demographics, pain aspects, psychometric data, physical disability, and quality of life will be measured at three occasions: first appointment (Pre-IPRP), immediately after completing the rehabilitation program (Post-IPRP), and at a 12-month follow-up (FU-IPRP). Blood samples will be taken to identify biomarkers at the same occasions that provide objective information on metabolic and nutritional abnormalities and further to evaluate the effect of the dietary intervention on changing of pain rehabilitation outcomes. Part II: Included 192 patients with complex chronic pain. Half of the participants receive IPRP and nutrition care (described above) and the other half receive standard IPRP.
NCT05781100
Maternal sensitivity and contingent responsiveness to infant behavioral cues is an important contributor to infants' developing capacities to self-regulate. During early infancy, feeding interactions comprise a significant portion of mother-infant dyadic interactions and high-quality feeding interactions provide both nutritive and socioemotional benefits; recent data suggest that, for many dyads, mothers' sensitive responsiveness during feeding interactions is routinely impacted by the omnipresence of portable technology. The objective of the proposed research is to better understand the development and possible impacts of maternal technology use on infant feeding interactions, emotion and intake regulation, and sociobehavioral and growth outcomes.
NCT06096272
Children with cerebral palsy (CP), Gross Motor Functional Classification Scale (GMFCS) I-II will be recruited to participate in a home based physical activity intervention for 4 weeks. Demographic data will be collected, and validated surveys assessing baseline physical activity level and mobility will be completed. Participants will have an exercise program assigned and will be given a logbook to record their exercise adherence. They will be assigned to the Augment Reality (AR) app group. The AR app group will have exercises administered through the AR app. At the end of the program, participants will complete final surveys and an exit interview.
NCT04261985
To pilot a stand-alone mobile phone intervention with Latino caregivers of 2- to 5-year olds, using a prospective control group design, to assess feasibility and preliminary effect sizes on children's BMI changes (primary outcome) and dietary and physical activity changes (secondary outcomes) at 6 months post-baseline, in preparation for a larger randomized trial to evaluate the intervention's efficacy.
NCT06504849
To assess the effectiveness of instant message-delivered personalised lifestyle modification (LSM) intervention for pre-hypertension (pre-HTN) management among community dwelling Chinese adults.
NCT04936828
The proposed trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT) based ecological momentary intervention (EMI) for psychological well-being in stroke family caregivers.
NCT05892965
Around one third of stroke survivors develop depression at any point of time following the stroke event. Post-stroke depression (PSD) is associated with negative care outcomes including poorer function, longer hospital stays, increased outpatient and inpatient clinic use, and higher mortality rate. In Hong Kong (HK), the prevalence of PSD within the hospital setting was 36%, and up to 68% in the community setting. However, PSD is seldom addressed in either settings in HK and elsewhere. Meta-analyses reported the effectiveness of Internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT), particularly when guided by therapists (d = 0.63). Personalised and synchronous instant message-based intervention guided by therapists is an emerging form of psychological intervention. While such intervention showed medium to large effect (Hedges' g = 0.73) on negative psychological distress episodes including depression, no study has investigated its effect on PSD. The proposed study aims to 1) investigate the effect of therapist-guided brief iCBT delivery through instant messaging applications (e.g. WhatsApp and WeChat) to provide personalised and synchronous PSD support and 2) understand the experience of and compliance with the intervention. 160 community-dwelling stroke survivors with Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) scores ranging from 5 to 19 indicating mild to moderate depressive symptoms will be recruited and then individually randomised into the Intervention group (n=80) or Control group (n=80). Intervention group will receive 1) instant message-delivered brief iCBT for 3 months at participants' chosen times and frequencies, and 2) therapist-led text or voice message-based PSD support to enhance the effects of iCBT through real-time counselling and practical advice. Control group will only receive messages on general mental health information and reminders to participate in follow-up surveys. The primary outcome is PHQ-9 score at 6 months. Secondary outcomes will include anxiety (GAD-7), perceived stress (PSS-4), loneliness (ULS-8), and quality of life (EQ-5D-5L) at 6 months. The study will strictly follow the CONSORT-EHEALTH checklist. Post-trial qualitative study will be conducted to understand the participants' experience of and compliance with the intervention (n≈20) respectively. This study will provide the first and practical evidence on the effectiveness of instant message-delivered brief iCBT intervention in addressing PSD in HK and beyond.
NCT05776901
The goal of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility of the prototype C-STRESS app with 3 college students from UCI with clinically significant depression (scored ≥ 10 on the Patient Health Questionnaire-9). The main question it aims to answer is: whether the prototype C-STRESS is useful for college students to manage daily stress and depression symptoms. Participants were asked to use the C-STRESS app daily for 6 weeks to participate in CBCT lessons, watch guided meditation videos, complete short reflective exercises, and engage with other content provided in C-STRESS (i.e., attending drop-in sessions, journaling, completing mood and wellbeing check-ins, and reading educational articles on depression, anxiety, and stress). At the end of week 3 and 6, participants completed 6 online surveys (System Usability Scale, Technology Acceptance Model, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, General Anxiety Disorder-7, Health Related Quality of Life-4, and Brief-COPE) to assess C-STRESS's usability/feasibility and changes in depressive symptoms and coping styles over the study period.
