Learn More About Powere-CBTi vs Trazodone for Insomnia
Kingston, Ontario
Insomnia is defined as the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep at night and it is one of the most prevalent sleep disorders that can have deleterious impacts on health and this population's quality of life. Currently, both pharmaceutical interventions (trazodone) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBTi) are widely used to treat patients with insomnia. Although CBTi has been efficacious in many patients, multitude of barriers for receiving treatment such as its limited availability of therapists, high costs and long wait times challenge its ability in sufficiently meeting the population's health needs and demands. To improve the delivery of CBT, electronically delivered CBTi (e-CBTi) has been developed as an accessible and effective alternative intervention for improving sleep outcomes in patients with insomnia. While evidence suggest that e-CBTi is effective when compared to placebos/waitlist control, evidence comparing guided e-CBTi to pharmaceutical interventions is still insufficient and needs further exploration.

Stimulants for ADHD
Iowa City, Iowa
The goal of this study is to determine the effects of stimulant medication on disruptive behavior, function, preference and choice; however, it is primarily methodological and will add to current research by establishing an effective evaluation of the impact of stimulant medication on these behaviors. Three behavior assessments for children and adolescents diagnosed with AD/HD who exhibit disruptive behavior will be conducted:
1. Preference assessments will be conducted to determine whether preference for social and nonsocial items and activities differs under medication and non-medication conditions.
2. Functional analyses will be conducted to determine whether stimulant medication has an effect on the frequency and function or purpose of disruptive behavior.
3. Choice assessments will be conducted to evaluate the impact of stimulant medication on impulse control/delay discounting.
This study will be conducted in three phases. For each of the 5 to 10 participants there will be 8 total visits. The first 4 visits will entail a preference assessment, followed by a functional analysis. On visits 1 and 3, the participant will be asked to take his/her stimulant medication as is typically done; however, on visits 2 and 4, the participant will be asked to refrain from taking the medication.
For visits 5-8, participants will continue to participate in preference assessments, but will also be presented with a choice arrangement with work and play. In the choice arrangement, participants will be given four work cards and four play cards that they can organize in any order. Work cards will be associated with a brief academic task and play cards will be associated with a brief play period using high-preferred toys/activities. On visits 5 and 7 the participant will be asked to take his or her stimulant medication as usual, while on visits 6 and 8 the participant will be asked to refrain from taking his or her medication.

rTMS and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Cocaine Use Disorder
New York, New York
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of active repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to sham (placebo) rTMS prior to cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) as a treatment for adults with cocaine use disorder. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Is rTMS safe and feasible as an augmentation for CBT for the treatment of cocaine use disorder?
* What is the brain mechanism of rTMS?
* Will active rTMS (compared to sham rTMS) followed by CBT help adults with cocaine use disorder achieve abstinence from cocaine?
Participants will:
* Have two brain MRI scans;
* Undergo 3 weeks of daily rTMS (or sham) treatments (15 sessions), and;
* Have 12 weeks of once-weekly cognitive-behavioral therapy for the treatment of cocaine use disorder.
Researchers will compare active (real) rTMS to sham (placebo) rTMS. All participants will receive cognitive-behavioral therapy.

Psychotherapy for Postpartum Depression
Hackensack, New Jersey
Postpartum Depression (PPD) is defined as depression that occurs after childbirth, with intense symptoms that last longer than "baby blues". PPD differs greatly from "baby blues", a term used to describe the typical sadness, worry and tiredness that women experience after childbirth, which often resolves within a week or two on its own. The symptoms of PPD interfere with many aspects of daily living and can have unhealthy short-term and long-term outcomes, both for the mother and baby.
One-third of women in the U.S. with PPD are identified in clinical settings, yet only half of those begin psychotherapy treatment. Unfortunately, mothers whose newborns are in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) are at high risk for developing PPD, necessitating early identification and evidence-based treatment. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT) are the two most effective psychotherapy treatments for PPD, yet no randomized controlled clinical trials were found that directly compared the two types of treatment or determined whether combining the two approaches is more helpful for PPD than either approach alone.
This clinical trial aims to compare the effectiveness of a 4-week intervention of either CBT or IPT for PPD in NICU mothers and to determine whether a sequential 8-week intervention (IPT then CBT, or CBT then IPT) is more beneficial.

Partner-Assisted Therapy for PTSD
Charleston, South Carolina
PTSD occurs in up to 17% of post-9/11 US Service Members and is associated with long-term functional impairment, family problems, unemployment, and suicidality. Trauma-focused therapies (TFTs), such as Prolonged Exposure (PE), result in significant relief for many. Yet, TFTs are not equally effective for everyone. An important minority (\~40%) will retain their PTSD diagnoses after treatment, and many discontinue treatment prematurely, especially post-9/11 Service Members. TFTs are also more effective in addressing symptoms than psychosocial functioning. More work is needed to improve the consistency and potency of TFTs. Partnering with significant others may provide a powerful method for helping individuals get more out of their PTSD treatment. Observational research shows that relationship factors can help patients initiate, stay in, and experience greater benefit from PTSD treatment. Veterans that were surveyed experienced greater treatment gains when they shared more about their treatment with loved ones and when loved ones accommodated less for PTSD symptoms. Despite the promise of partner-involved interventions, there is no couples approach to PTSD treatment that has demonstrated superior outcomes to individual-only treatment models (i.e., TFTs). To address this gap, the investigators have completed a series of partner-assisted PTSD treatment studies, leading up the current proposal (Partnered PE, PPE). The investigators found that treatment completion rates were better than routine clinical care, and the treatment led to large improvements in participants' functioning, PTSD symptoms, and romantic functioning. For this proposed study, the primary objective is to conduct a randomized controlled trial (Research Level 3; larger-scale clinical trial) to test the superiority of PPE to standard PE among post 9/11 Veterans. The investigator's primary hypothesis is that PPE will lead to greater improvements in psychosocial functioning than standard PE. Secondary and tertiary aims examine posttreatment clinical outcomes (PTSD, depression) and intimate partner outcomes (relationship functioning, distress, caregiver burden, and psychosocial functioning), as well as examine strategies for PPE implementation. In exploratory aims, the investigators will examine the stability of group differences, treatment completion rates, the role military sexual trauma history, and treatment mechanisms.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Autism
New Haven, Connecticut
In addition to the core symptoms, children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often exhibit disruptive behavior problems including irritability, tantrums, noncompliance, and aggression. The purpose of this study is to investigate cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for disruptive behavior in children with autism spectrum disorders and intellectual disability. This pilot study will include children with ASD and IQ between 55 and 85 in an open study of CBT. CBT is modified in this study to reduce complexity of activities during therapy sessions but retains all key elements and principles of CBT. Assessments of irritability and disruptive behavior will include clinical interviews, parent ratings and child self-report measures. Study participants will be asked to complete functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to evaluate biomarkers of social perception and emotion regulation before and after CBT.

This study investigates the effects of a novel intervention approach, intentionally sequencing aerobic exercise immediately prior to therapy sessions (i.e., cognitive behavioral therapy \[CBT\]) to determine its effects on both specific and common factors underlying the antidepressant effect of CBT (i.e., mechanisms of CBT). To assess the utility of this treatment augmentation, investigators plan to conduct a randomized controlled trial involving 40 adults with Major Depressive Disorder who will watch a nature documentary while either resting quietly (termed 'CalmCBT') or exercising at a moderate intensity ('ActiveCBT') immediately prior to 8 weekly sessions of CBT. It is hypothesized that target CBT mechanisms of antidepressant action (i.e., self-reported working alliance and behavioral activation) will be more effectively engaged by ActiveCBT vs. CalmCBT.

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

Psychotherapy for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Montréal, Quebec
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a disabling psychiatric illness that is characterized by distressing obsessional thoughts and time-consuming compulsive rituals. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is a first-line psychological treatment of choice that requires patients to face their fears by being exposed to feared stimuli. This treatment has been shown to reduce symptoms in a significant proportion of patients. However, it is considered a difficult treatment and only a minority reach remission. Residual symptoms typically remain, or reappear after treatment, which is a risk for relapse. Inference-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) is a promising evidence-based treatment developed to overcome these limitations. I-CBT has already been found to be as effective as ERP and significantly more acceptable and easier to adhere to. There is also evidence that I-CBT is more effective for subgroups of patients. Consequently, the current research project is focused on improving treatments outcomes for those provide those who have previously unable to reach remission of their symptoms with ERP. Following an initial treatment with ERP, those that have been unable to reach remission, will be randomized to either I-CBT or more ERP. It is expected that I-CBT will be significantly more effective than providing patients with more of the same. In addition, the study aims to predict treatment outcome in order to be able to tell in advance which patients do not respond to ERP. The project is designed to maximize beneficial health outcomes with a stepped-care approach to treatment, but also to work towards a more personalized choice by being able to match patients in advance with the treatment that works best for them

Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy for Low Libido
Montréal, Quebec
Sexual health is a fundamental aspect of quality of life; a satisfying sexual relationship is linked to better physical, psychological, and relationship health and well-being. In fact, people who maintain a satisfying, active sex life over time live longer than those who report lower sexual frequency and satisfaction. Yet problems with sexual function are extremely common, especially for women: chronic difficulties with sexual desire and/or arousal that are personally upsetting-Sexual Interest/Arousal Disorder (SIAD)-affects 7% to 23% of the general population. SIAD is linked to more healthcare costs, depressive symptoms and anxiety, and lower relationship satisfaction. Experts suggest that relationship factors play a critical role in SIAD and couple-based sex therapy is a common approach used by clinicians. However, there are no treatment options available for couples that have been tested in research to confirm that they work. The goal of this three-centre randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of a novel 16-session cognitive-behavioural couple therapy (CBCT), offered online to increase accessibility, for an inclusive sample of women with SIAD compared to a waitlist control group. The investigators expect that, compared to a waitlist control group, CBCT will lead to greater improvements in SIAD symptoms (e.g., higher sexual desire/arousal, lower sexual distress) and better sexual, relational, and psychological adjustment for both partners at post-treatment and 6-months later. Given that less than a third of those affected by SIAD access treatment, this study addresses the urgent need for an accessible couple-based treatment for the most common sexual dysfunction. Results will be used by clinicians to provide couples with a scientifically based, accessible treatment option, that will improve their sexual, relationship, and psychological health.

Task Practice Interventions for Executive Function
Providence, Rhode Island
The goal of this basic experimental clinical trial is to understand the effect of multitasking practice on the structure of neural representations of tasks in the human lateral prefrontal cortex and control brain regions. The main question it aims to answer is: What changes in neural representational structure predict improvements in multitasking behavior due to multitasking practice? Healthy human participants will learn two independent tasks, each mapping a set of stimuli to motor responses based on different rules. Participants will be randomized to one of two interventions. Participants assigned to the multitask practice intervention (MPI) will practice multitasking the two tasks over multiple days. Those assigned to the single-task practice intervention (SPI) will instead practice each task separately while controlling for the total number of practice opportunities associated with each task across the interventions. Both before and after the practice, the ability of all participants to perform both tasks simultaneously will be behaviorally measured using a well-established psychological refractory period (PRP) paradigm, and their neural representations will be measured using functional MRI while they perform the two tasks. Researchers will then compare improvements in multitasking behavior across the two groups, as well as changes in neural representational geometry of the tasks in the lateral prefrontal cortex and control brain regions, and test whether multitasking training is associated with specific changes in neural representations in the lateral prefrontal cortex.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Behavioral Disorders clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Behavioral Disorders clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Behavioral Disorders trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Behavioral Disorders is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Behavioral Disorders medical study?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
