Effectiveness

How Prolixin Affects PatientsFluphenazine is a medication used to treat schizophrenia and other mental disorders. It has not been found to be effective in treating behavior problems in people with intellectual disabilities.
How Prolixin works in the bodyFluphenazine works by blocking receptors in the brain that are related to dopamine. This has the effect of reducing hormones in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland as well as affecting body temperature, alertness, blood pressure, and vomiting.

Prolixin for Mental Disorder with Loss of Normal Personality & Reality
I was given Prolixin injections a few years ago, and I told the doctor that I was having bad side effects. He gave me another injection anyway, and I had a seizure and then things got worse. I ended up being paralyzed for several months and had to learn how to walk and talk again. When the institution realized they couldn't take care of me, they placed me in an old folks home where I didn't receive any therapy. I had to do it all on my own, which was really tough since I was only about 37 at the time - by far the youngest person in the home.

Living Well Program for Anxiety in Breast Cancer

18+
Female
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.

AI Chatbot for Postpartum Loneliness

18+
Female
La Jolla, CA
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether a postpartum chatbot powered by generative artificial intelligence (genAI) can help new mothers get better pelvic floor health information and feel less lonely after childbirth. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Does using the chatbot improve postpartum pelvic floor health knowledge? * Does using the chatbot help reduce feelings of loneliness during the postpartum period? * Does using the chatbot impact pelvic floor symptoms? Researchers will compare standard postpartum care to standard care plus the chatbot. Participants will: Be assigned by chance (like flipping a coin) to standard postpartum care with or without access to the chatbot. If in the chatbot group, participants will receive education and support via the chatbot over a 4-week period. Both groups will complete questionnaires to measure their pelvic floor knowledge, pelvic floor symptoms, feelings of loneliness, depression, infant bonding, perceived social support, adverse childhood experiences, and peri-traumatic distress. The chatbot was created by urogynecology experts in collaboration with UC San Diego computer science and biomedical informatics researchers. The chatbot is designed to give new mothers personalized, evidence-based information and support in real time.

Virtual Reality for Cancer

18 - 90
All Sexes
Jacksonville, FL
This clinical trial tests the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of a virtual reality intervention to improve psychological symptom burden for cancer patients undergoing treatment. Virtual reality (VR) is a technology that allows users to experience and interact with three-dimensional, computer-generated environments that simulate the real world or imagined settings. The VR intervention consists of a preloaded with immersive environments designed to engage the senses through simulated sights and sounds. This may include a walk through of a serene forest, exploring vibrant coral reefs, swimming with dolphins, or standing at the base of a majestic waterfall. These environments are created to provide a relaxing and engaging experience. Completing the VR intervention may be a safe and effective way to improve quality of life, reduce anxiety, enhance focus, and promote healthy living for cancer patients undergoing treatment.

Akashic Records Sessions for Mental Health

18+
All Sexes
Palm City, FL
The goal of this clinical study is to learn the impact of two Akashic Records sessions on mental health symptoms in adults. We want to see how sessions are linked to stress, anxiety, and depression, and to resilience (ability to bounce back) and feelings of connectedness (to self, community, and humanity). Main questions this study will answer are: After two sessions, what is the impact on stress, anxiety, and depression? After two sessions, what is the impact on resilience and connectedness? How do participants describe their experience of the sessions? After two sessions, what are participants' views of their problems (insight), emotional experiences (impact) and observable behaviors in their daily life? What participants will do: Complete online surveys about their mood at four points: before the first session, before the second session, after the second session, and again 2 months later. Surveys include: DASS-21 (Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale) CD-RISC-10 (Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale) WATTS (Connectedness Scale) A short demographic form and satisfaction survey Attend two individual Akashic Records sessions (50-90 minutes each) over private video platform with a licensed clinical social worker (principal investigator) The first 50 participants will also join a one-hour interview with open ended questions with a licensed clinical social worker (co-investigator) about one week after the second session to share their experience in their own words. Who can take part: Adults ages 18 and older who can read and consent in English and who have experienced stress, anxiety, or low mood in the past year. How the research will happen: Sessions are held by secure video call. Participants will also complete private online surveys before, during, and after the sessions. Some participants may be invited to share their experiences in a one-on-one interview. All information is kept private and names are removed before analysis. Risks and benefits: Talking about personal topics may bring up strong emotions. Licensed clinicians conduct sessions, offer support, and provide referrals if needed. Possible benefits include new insights, greater peace or meaning, and improved coping; benefits are not guaranteed. Why this matters: Many people seek spiritual or transpersonal support for emotional concerns. This pilot study will provide early evidence on whether Akashic Records sessions may be a helpful, low-risk option and will guide future research.

Multimodal Intervention for Bipolar Disorder

18 - 35
All Sexes
Hamilton, Canada
People with bipolar disorder (BD) are at high risk of relapse following hospital discharge, partly due to a lack of BD-specific expertise and resources within community services required for comprehensive treatment. Although clinical guidelines recommend combining medication and psychosocial support, and research shows that early intervention is associated with improved outcomes, no structured care programs currently exist for individuals in the early stages of BD, contributing to chronic illness progression and preventable hospitalizations. This open-label pilot trial will assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of a structured care pathway to support the transition from hospital to community care. The intervention includes group-based psychoeducation, individual peer support, and personalized support for community healthcare providers to improve illness insight, treatment adherence, and symptom management.

All Sexes
Syracuse, NY
It is important to provide support and resources for the many post-9/11 Veterans with mental health symptoms and poor psychosocial functioning who do not engage in psychotherapy. One of the biggest reasons post-9/11 Veterans do not seek treatment is a preference to handle problems on their own. This study examines a self-help intervention that teaches Veterans healthy coping strategies they can use on their own and how to seek out recovery support services such as mental health treatment or whole-person care if they decide to do so in the future. This study will compare the impact of self-help and standard resources at improving mental health and resource utilization. Two hundred Veterans will complete 6 brief assessments across 40 weeks.

Brain Stimulation for Cannabis Craving in Schizophrenia

18 - 65
All Sexes
Nashville, TN
The central hypothesis is this: Brain circuits most relevant to cannabis use in schizophrenia are distinct from pathways identified in healthy controls who use cannabis. This study seeks to provide evidence that targeted stimulation of the DMN leads to both altered network activity and a concomitant behavioral change in cue-induced craving and cognitive performance in individuals with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder, while targeted stimulation of the L DLPFC leads to these changes in healthy controls who use cannabis. This study will test a model that integrates brain network pathophysiology and cognition to 1) explain the prevalence of cannabis use in schizophrenia and 2) identify a target for engagement in schizophrenia. This study seeks to establish a neuroscientific framework to guide future treatment-oriented studies aimed at reducing craving and improving cognitive performance in individuals with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. This is a study of the effect of 2 rTMS interventions on functional connectivity and craving in individuals with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder and healthy controls who use cannabis. Aim 1: Target Engagement: Determine if rTMS manipulates functional connectivity of each target (DMN, L DLPFC) (n=100). Aim 2: Clinical Efficacy: Determine if rTMS affects cue-induced craving and if craving change correlates with change in functional connectivity (n=100). As an exploratory analysis, the factors that explain individual variance in rTMS-induced connectivity change will also be explored.
