NCT06955338
Children undergoing leukaemia treatment are exposed to a wide range of chemotherapeutic agents and immunosuppressive therapies during treatment and are therefore at great risk for complications. Mucositis is one of the leading chemotherapy-related complications affecting the quality of life of the child. Although it varies according to the degree of mucositis, oral mucosal erythema, white plaques and ulcers are extremely painful and traumatising procedures for pediatric patients during mucositis care. The pain and fear they experience during the procedure may lead children to delay/not perform oral mucositis care or not allow their parents to do so. Since mucositis is a painful condition in children, it is recommended to use distracting nonpharmacological methods that can help reduce the pain and fear of children during mucositis care. In this context, the aim of this study was to determine the effects of music and virtual reality on pain, anxiety and fear during oral mucositis care in children aged 6-12 years receiving leukaemia treatment. Block randomisation (gender (F/M) and age groups (6-9/10-12) will be used to identify participants. Five minutes before the oral mucositis care procedure, all participants, regardless of group, will be assessed with the Child Anxiety Scale-Disposition (CAS-D), Child Fear Scale and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The study will be conducted in three groups as control group, VR group and music group. Descriptive characteristics of dependent and independent categorical variables will be given as number and percentage, numerical descriptive characteristics will be given as mean and standard deviation. In examining the relationship between dependent and independent variables, Mann Whitney-Kruskal Wallis or Student t-Anova analyses will be performed according to the result of the analysis of conformity to normal distribution. Bonferroni analysis will be used for pairwise comparisons and Covariance analysis will be used to investigate the effect of variables with children.
NCT06678295
The purpose of this study is to understand why some individuals respond fully to cognitive behavioral therapy and others do not, based on multiple sources of data such as neural, neurocognitive, clinical, and self-report data.
NCT07409792
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether the complementary intervention of auricular point sticking therapy (APST) can improve pregnancy outcomes by ameliorating psychological distress and sleep quality in female patients aged 20-45 years undergoing in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) who also present with anxiety and/or insomnia. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the addition of APST to standard luteal phase support improve key IVF-ET pregnancy outcomes (embryo implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate, ongoing pregnancy rate)? Does APST effectively reduce anxiety and depression scores (measured by GAD-7 and PHQ-9) and improve sleep quality (measured by PSQI and actigraphy) in this patient population? Are the observed clinical improvements associated with modulation of stress-related biomarkers (e.g., serum cortisol, 5-HT)? Researchers will compare the intervention group (standard care + APST) to the control group (standard care only) to see if the combined therapy leads to superior outcomes in psychological well-being, sleep parameters, and ultimately, reproductive success. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the control group or the intervention group. In the control group, receive standard luteal phase support medication (e.g., progesterone injections or oral dydrogesterone) for 4 weeks post-embryo transfer. In the intervention group, receive the same standard medication plus auricular point sticking therapy. This involves: 1.Having vaccaria seeds attached to specific ear acupoints (Heart, Liver, Endocrine, Shenmen, Subcortex, Sympathetic). 2.Performing self-acupressure on the seeds 3 times daily for 3 minutes each session. 3.Replacing the seeds at a new site every 3 days. 4.Complete psychological (GAD-7, PHQ-9) and sleep quality (PSQI) questionnaires at baseline and 12 weeks post-transfer. 5.Wear an actigraphy device on the wrist for 7 consecutive days to objectively monitor sleep patterns. 6.Provide blood samples for biomarker analysis (cortisol, 5-HT) on specific days post-transfer. 7.Undergo follow-up assessments to determine pregnancy status (β-hCG test, ultrasound).
NCT07405463
This study evaluates the effects of single-session Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) on fear reversal learning in patients with anxiety disorders. Participants will be randomized into four groups to receive either active stimulation targeting specific brain regions (right DLPFC or vmPFC), an active control stimulation, or sham stimulation. The main goal is to determine if modulating these brain areas can improve the ability to update safety and threat associations.
NCT07408037
This study aims to evaluate the effect of preoperative gamified breathing exercises on preoperative anxiety and postoperative emergence delirium in children.

NCT07401043
It has been reported that mothers of preterm infants who experience anxiety face challenges in participating in infant care. However, the effect of solution-focused approach on reducing the anxiety of mothers of premature infants is unknown. This study was conducted to assess the effects of Solution-Focused Approach on the anxiety levels of mothers who are anxious about preterm infants care. A randomized controlled trial design. The present study was carried out in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units of three hospitals in a city center. In the study, the sample group was determined as 40 mothers, 20 of whom were interventions and 20 were control. In this study, eight 30-40minute solution-focused interviews were held with the participants in the intervention group subjected to the Solution Focused Approach. Of the mothers in the intervention group, 5% had triplet pregnancy, 75% gave birth by cesarean section, 80% had health problems during pregnancy and 95% did not receive training on infant care during pregnancy. The differences in scale scores obtained during follow-ups were greater in the intervention group than in the control group. It was determined that the intervention undergone by the mothers of the preterm infants in the intervention group decreased the mothers' anxiety levels about infant care and increased their solution-focused coping skills. Following the intervention, moms in the intervention group showed improvement in all of their self-perception skills about their care needs. The Solution-Focused Approach decreased state-trait anxiety levels of mothers who were anxious about preterm infant care, and improved their solution-focused coping skills. The Individual Solution-Focused Approach decreased state and trait anxiety levels of primiparous mothers who were anxious about preterm infant care, and improved their solution-focused coping skills. Nurses' application of this approach can reduce the anxiety levels of mothers who are worried about preterm infant care. It can contribute to mothers to develop a solution-focused perspective.
NCT05858346
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a brief, efficient, and effective treatment for individuals with depressive/anxiety disorders. However, CBT is largely underutilized within the Department of Veterans Affairs due to the cost and burden of trainings necessary to deliver all of the related disorder-specific treatments (DSTs). Transdiagnostic Behavior Therapy (TBT), in contrast, is specifically designed to address numerous distinct disorders within a single protocol in Veterans with depressive/anxiety disorders. The proposed research seeks to evaluate the efficacy of TBT by assessing psychiatric symptomatology and related impairment outcomes in Veterans with social anxiety disorder and comorbid posttraumatic stress via a randomized controlled trial of TBT and an existing DST. Assessments will be completed at pre-, mid-, and post-treatment, and at 6-month follow-up. Process variables also will be investigated.
NCT07401784
The incidence of post-stroke depression is high, which will affect the rehabilitation of neurological function, damage cognitive function, and increase the risk of subsequent stroke recurrence. The guidelines recommend that in addition to antiplatelet, blood pressure control, lipid-lowering and other treatments, secondary prevention of post-stroke depression should also be strengthened. Moreover, after the occurrence of post-stroke depression, methods such as medication and psychotherapy have their own limitations, such as potential adverse drug reactions and limited psychotherapy. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the prevention of post-stroke depression. The remote ischemic adaptation therapy applied in our study is a safe, non-invasive and convenient physical therapy. By transiently and repeatedly applying ischemia-reperfusion stimulation to both upper arms, it induces a systemic protective response, improves the brain 's tolerance to ischemia and hypoxia, and exerts a protective effect on multiple organs such as the brain and heart. The RIC therapeutic instrument has been national patented and has been maturely applied to the prevention and treatment of acute cerebral infarction, which can promote the rehabilitation of neurological function. In addition, it also has certain curative effect in the treatment of cerebrovascular stenosis, refractory hypertension, depression, insomnia, anxiety and so on.
NCT07399314
This study aims to test the effectiveness of a stepped-care model to reduce depressive symptoms in adolescents in school settings in Pakistan. The study will examine whether the universal intervention, delivered by non-specialists, can reduce depressive symptoms in adolescents after 3 months. For adolescents who do not improve with universal intervention, the study will assess whether a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)-based guided self-help app can provide additional support as a second-step intervention. Six hundred adolescents aged 13-15 from 40 schools in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, will take part. The study will determine which interventions work best and for which students to reduce depressive symptoms in school settings in Pakistan.

NCT04948268
This is a feasibility trial of a personalized 8-week text messaging intervention aimed at young adults (ages 18-25) with depression and anxiety who are not interested in -- or experience barriers to -- receiving traditional face-to-face psychological treatments. The trial will consist of a pilot test of (1) an 8-week adaptive (personalized) messaging intervention relative to (2) a non-personalized digital mental health intervention, or (3) an active control which will send weekly psychoeducation information by way of Uniform Resource Locators (URLs). The adaptive intervention will uses machine learning to tailor Short Message Service (SMS) messages to an individual's needs and preferences, and URL links to provide access to psychoeducational content to contextualize messages, when the length of that content exceeds the limitations of messages. The primary goals of the project are to conduct a feasibility trial using a sequential multiple assignment randomized treatment (SMART) design, which will evaluate (a) the effectiveness of an adaptive, personalized messaging intervention in reducing engagement relative to a non-personalized version; and (b) whether human coaching results in greater symptom reduction and engagement, relative an unguided implementation.
NCT07397429
Brief Summary of the Study The aim of this clinical trial is to find out if the group therapy method "Self-Reconstruction" helps to reduce anxiety in adults. The researchers want to see if the participants' emotional state becomes more stable after completing the course. The main questions that this study aims to answer are: Do people's anxiety levels decrease after taking the course of "I-Reconstruction" classes? Do the positive effects of the classes persist 3, 6 and 12 months after they finish? Do the participants' quality of life and ability to enjoy life improve? The researchers will compare a group of people who attend the therapy classes with a group of people who receive usual care to see if the new method is more effective. Participants will: Participate in 10 online group meetings once a week. Do simple breathing and movement exercises to calm the body and emotions. Discuss your feelings and desires with a professional in a safe group. Complete questionnaires about your condition at the beginning, during, and after the study.

In today's society, anxiety and stress are prevalent emotional responses in mental health globally, significantly affecting students' well-being and academic performance. In particular, undergraduate nursing students face high levels of these problems due to the heavy academic workload and demands of their training, especially during exam periods. The need for concentration, emotional management, and decision-making under pressure contribute to the prevalence of these disorders, impacting both their quality of life and academic performance. Despite the existence of multiple strategies and techniques for managing these issues, it is still necessary to continue exploring innovative alternatives that complement traditional interventions. For this reason, this project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness-neurofeedback as a treatment to reduce stress and anxiety in nursing students, with the goal of providing scientific evidence on this intervention. This brain training technique is presented as a promising option, based on the modulation of brain activity, with the potential to improve emotional regulation and concentration in the educational setting.

Few alternatives to addictive medical treatment exists for persons with severe mental health problems (SMHP) and anxiety, often connected to high risk of suicide. Access to effective interventions that depart in individuals' needs to cope with anxiety in everyday life is crucial to provide and desperately warranted by service users. Service users are often unaware of sensory needs, connected to anxiety outburst. The Sensory Awareness Program (SAP) is a group-based self-management intervention of 10 weeks developed to meet complex needs of regulating anxiety and related self-destructive behaviors. SAP stems from theories on sensory modulation and is an approach to manage physiological arousal associated with anxiety through self-regulated sensory-based coping strategies. International research show that sensory modulation is effective both as a method to reduce anxiety and thus restraint in acute mental health services (MHS), and also to empower users. However, much research to date focus on using sensory strategies within wards. International research and pre-studies of testing the SAP in outpatient MHS indicate that it is a promising self-management intervention to support everyday life. Earlier studies further show that users' unawareness of sensory needs triggers anxiety, and that anxiety itself is the main contributing factor for disrupting everyday life. Also, staff acknowledge sensory modulation but lack knowledge on whether programs such as SAP is effective and possible to implement. The overall aim is to investigate the effectiveness of SAP as compared to treatment as usual (TAU) among 200 outpatients. The investigators hypothesize that SAP will be more effective than TAU in terms of reduced anxiety (primary outcome) at three months follow-up. Secondary clinical and personal recovery outcomes post intervention and at three and six months follow up will also be targeted and assumed to be in favour of the SAP group. The implementation process of the SAP will also be explored.
NCT07393581
This randomized controlled trial evaluated whether two formats of group music therapy can improve emotional well-being, self-rated health, and social connectedness among undergraduate students living in urban areas in China. A total of 120 students were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: (1) active group music therapy, (2) receptive group music therapy, or (3) a waitlist control group. Both music therapy programs were delivered in person over 6 weeks, with one 60-minute session per week facilitated by trained music therapists. The active format emphasized participatory music-making (e.g., singing, rhythmic activities, and group improvisation), while the receptive format focused on guided music listening and reflection. Participants completed self-report questionnaires at baseline and immediately after the 6-week period assessing positive and negative affect, anxiety symptoms, general health, and perceived social connectedness. The study examined whether the two music therapy approaches led to improvements compared with the waitlist control condition.

NCT07390630
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if it is doable for community health workers (CHWs) to deliver a mental health intervention to Spanish-speaking Latine parents experiencing anxiety, depression, and/or traumatic stress. The main questions it aims to answer are (1) Is it doable for CHWs to deliver the mental health intervention and for Latine parents to participate in the intervention, and (2) does the CHW-delivered intervention work in reducing Latine parents' mental health symptoms. Researchers will compare Latine parents receiving the intervention to Latine parents not receiving the intervention to see if the CHW-delivered intervention works to improve mental health symptoms. Participants will: * Participate in up to 14 weekly 1-hour sessions of the mental health intervention delivered by a CHW. They will be randomized to receive the intervention immediately or after a 5-month delay. * Participants will complete questionnaires about their symptoms, family and child functioning, as well as about how doable, acceptable, and appropriate they found the intervention * Participants will also complete a recorded interview about their experience in the intervention
