Virtual Reality for Depression in Multiple Sclerosis

18+
All Sexes
Ann Arbor, MI

This trial explores the use of immersive virtual reality (VR) nature-based experiences as a supplementary treatment for depression in individuals with progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). This study will evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of at-home VR deployment using the Apple Vision Pro, an advanced device that offers enhanced resolution, immersion, and usability compared to earlier VR systems. The study hypotheses include: * The integration of VR nature-based experiences with standard care will be feasible, acceptable, and will result in greater reductions in depressive symptoms compared to standard care or VR-only interventions. * The integration of VR nature-based experiences with standard care will result in greater reductions in stress and anxiety, better sleep, less insomnia, and improved fatigue compared to standard care alone or VR-only interventions.

Stanford, CA

The current study aims to test the feasibility of a new form of group therapy for women who have a history of interpersonal trauma and current suicidal ideation. The Building Empowerment and Resilience (BEAR) Therapeutic group has been adapted for women who have experienced trauma and have current suicidal ideation. It incorporates psychological skills, psychoeducation about trauma and gender-based violence, and physical self-defense training, all within a therapeutic process. It will be implemented with women who have experienced interpersonal trauma (physical, sexual, or emotional abuse/neglect) and experience various mental health difficulties, including suicidal ideation. We aim to assess the feasibility to recruit and implement the BEAR group. Our ultimate aim is to assess whether the program can effect self-efficacy and suicidal ideation.

Lakota Family Acceptance Program for Depression and Anxiety

Any Age
All Sexes
Pine Ridge, SD

The goal of this open pilot trial (OPT) is to develop a Lakota-adapted Family Acceptance Project (LFAP) for Indigenous 2SLGBTQ+ youth and their caregivers. The OPT is specifically focused on acceptability, feasibility, and safety of programming and research protocols. The investigators will also examine pre- to post- changes on outcomes for the sole purposes of making sure scores on measures are changing in the hypothesized direction (e.g., depression scores are going from moderate to minimal as opposed to no change or depression scores increasing). Once enrolled in the study, participants complete a baseline survey. Then participants will engage in LFAP which is an 8-session group intervention; sessions will be scheduled once a week for eight weeks (at 2 hours per session). Participants will complete survey instruments before and immediately after the program sessions, in addition to post-program surveys and an exit interview.

FRAME for Heart Failure

18+
All Sexes
Cornwall, Canada

Heart failure is a high-risk, chronic condition that impacts patients' mental health. Approximately 50% of heart failure patients experience comorbid mental health conditions, such as stress, depression and anxiety, which affect their day-to-day lives. Despite this interconnection, the integration of mental health awareness and support into cardiac care remains limited. To address this gap, the FRAME (Foundation, Recognition, Awareness, Management, Engagement) intervention was co-designed by researchers, healthcare providers, health system decisionmakers, and patient partners. This pilot study evaluates the feasibility of implementing the FRAME intervention in pilot clinical sites within two health regions in Ontario, Canada, including team-based family medicine clinics, cardiac rehabilitation/specialist clinics, and emergency departments. Utilizing a pretest-posttest hybrid 1 model intervention design, this study evaluates process indicators and patient-focused outcomes through surveys and semi-structured qualitative interviews. Findings from this study will inform a future large scale cohort study and scalable integration of the FRAME tool into existing cardiac care pathways to enhance mental health awareness and support among heart failure patients.

Behavioral Interventions for Depression in Students

Any Age
All Sexes
Cottage Grove, OR

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if two behavioral interventions work to reduce office disciplinary referrals, improve attendance, and reduce depression and anxiety in 7th grade students. This project combines two evidence-based programs-the Inclusive Skill-building Learning Approach (ISLA) for school-wide discipline reform and the Family Check-Up Online (FCU-O) for family-centered support-in an adaptive design to examine the unique and additive effects of these interventions on these child behavior outcomes. The main questions it will answer are: 1. What is the relative efficacy of ISLA vs. School-as-Usual? 2. What is the optimal sequencing of these interventions? 3. Which overall sequence of intervention strategies was most effective? Researchers will compare 6 combinations of these interventions to see which combination and sequencing provides the best student outcomes. School personnel participating in the project will be trained to implement the two interventions at their school. They will answer surveys in the fall, winter, and spring of their year of participation. Parent and Youth participants will complete surveys at baseline and then again 6 months and 12 months later.

Los Angeles, CA

The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of the Living Well Program, a digital therapeutic application with telecoaching support, in breast cancer patients with moderate-to-severe anxiety. The main question the study aims to answer is: does digital cognitive-behavioral therapy-based interventions decrease the overall healthcare costs of patients with stage II to IV breast cancer? The study has one group of participants who will use the Living Well app and telecoaching support. This group will be compared to retroactively matched controls. Over 3 months, patients will complete 21 mental health modules and 5 telecoaching sessions. In the following 3 months, they will complete any outstanding telecoaching sessions and modules while still being monitored, even if they finished all modules and sessions in the first 3 months. The 6 months after that will be the follow-up phase. They will still have access to the Living Well app and may continue to use it, and they will complete the same assessment questionnaires as baseline to identify any changes in their overall mental health.
