121 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
From a psychoevolutionary perspective, anger is a universal emotion that can serve the function of making us aware of wrongdoing and motivating us to undo/correct the wrongdoing. However, it is well recognized in clinical psychology that anger can be maladaptive, often causing distress and impairment in various areas of day-to-day life; untreated maladaptive anger has been found to raise the risk of certain physical health problems e.g., hypertension and coronary heart disease. At the very extreme, rage has been implicated in aggression and violence. Not surprisingly, there has been a widespread quest for anger treatments or what is popularly called "anger management". One treatment approach that has received increasing empirical support is Cognitive Behavioral Affective Therapy (CBAT), which has been applied to patients with chemical dependence and individuals with chronic pain. To extend this programmatic line of research, the proposed research aims to evaluate the efficacy of CBAT in reducing multiple (psychometric and self-monitored) measures of anger within a community sample.
Anger, Intermittent Explosive Disorder, Emotional Distress, Aggression, Violence
Difficulty controlling anger is the most commonly reported reintegration concern among combat Veterans, especially those with a diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Problematic anger is associated with significant functional impairment. In the current project, the investigators will compare the Mobile Anger Reduction Intervention (MARI) with a health education mobile intervention (HED) among Veterans with PTSD and problematic anger. Participants will be randomized to the MARI or HED condition. The hypothesis is that participants in the MARI condition will experience greater anger reductions and functional improvements relative to the HED condition.
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Anger
The investigators will conduct a pilot randomized clinical trial (n = 40) of hatha yoga vs. a health education group (attention control) for prisoners high in self-reported anger dysregulation. The investigators will assess feasibility and acceptability of the yoga program, the health education control group, and research procedures.
Anger, Aggression
The current US opioid epidemic is a pressing public health concern. Links between opioid misuse and mortality are well-known; nearly 70% of all drug overdose deaths in 2017 were attributable to opioids. Given their pain-relieving properties, opioids have been widely used in the chronic pain population who are also susceptible to misuse of these analgesics.. In chronic pain patients with anger, the pain as well as opioid use may be aggravated. For example, suppression of anger has been linked with increased pain sensitivity in experiments, while anger-hostility scores and internalized anger predict pain severity variance and pain intensity, respectively. Anger is also linked with drug use/abuse, including opioids. The goal of this research is to implement a state-of-the-art program for anger regulation in chronic pain patients., Called Cognitive Behavioral Affective Therapy (CBAT), this program is evaluated on multiple measures of anger, sensory versus affective measures of pain, and measures of opioid misuse. CBAT is expected to reduce anger, and thereby produce reduction in pain as well as shift attitudes away from opioid misuse..
Anger, Opioid Use, Chronic Pain
Given the public health and social relevance of sexual aggression and the gap in the extant literature regarding state anger, emotion regulation, alcohol, and sexual aggression, the present study will contribute to our understanding of emotion regulation's role in sexual aggression perpetration. The proposed 2-year research plan will examine the effects of alcohol intoxication, state anger, and emotion regulation on men's sexual aggression intentions. This study will recruit non-monogamous, men (individuals who identify their gender as male and whose biological sex is male) who have sex with women, ages 21-35. While more research on female perpetrators is needed, the proposed study will exclusively recruit males for the following reasons: 1) the scientific literature indicating the majority of sexually aggressive acts are perpetrated by men; and 2) the current sexual aggression analog has not been piloted with female participants and would require preliminary experiments to determine its appropriateness. The study will utilize a 2x2 design in which participants are randomized to beverage condition \[alcohol (target BAC= .08gm%) or control (no alcohol control)\] and an emotion induction (anger induction or control). The outcomes will be assessed using a sexual aggression analog which participants will complete on the descending limb of alcohol intoxication and indicate the likelihood that they would engage in various sexually aggressive acts. The study also includes self-report measurements of state anger and emotion regulation to explore emotion regulation as a moderator in the associations among alcohol intoxication, state anger, and sexual aggression intentions.
Alcohol Intoxication, Anger
Anger is the mostly commonly reported reintegration concern among combat Veterans, especially those with PTSD. Problematic anger is associated with significant functional impairment. In the current project, the investigators will pilot-test a newly developed mobile app, entitled Mobile Intervention for Reducing Anger (MIRA), among Veterans with PTSD and problematic anger. The project will compare the MIRA app to a contact control condition. The investigators hypothesize that Veterans with PTSD and problematic anger will find the MIRA app acceptable and will be willing to use it to reduce their anger difficulties and improve psychosocial and occupational functioning.
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Anger
Research has consistently shown that Veterans with PTSD are more likely to experience higher levels of anger and commit aggressive acts compared to Veterans without PTSD. Given the significant negative impact that anger and aggression can have on the lives of Veterans, their families, and society at large, there is a great need to examine novel interventions that could decrease anger and aggression risk with this population. Mindfulness may be one such technique, given its effectiveness in assisting individuals in regulating difficult emotions and in decreasing physiological reactivity, which have both been implicated in PTSD and aggression perpetration. Findings showing that a mindfulness intervention is effective in reducing anger and aggressive behavior would be relevant for Veterans with PTSD experiencing such difficulties and would help prevent the detrimental consequences that can come from anger and aggression among these individuals.

Problematic anger is a strong predictor of failed attempts at smoking cessation. The investigators proposed study seeks to evaluate whether a novel 8-session computerized anger-reduction treatment improves quit rates among smokers. Smokers with elevated trait anger will be administered transdermal nicotine patch therapy and either anger-reduction treatment or a control intervention. They will be assessed throughout treatment and up until three months after a scheduled mid- treatment quit date. The investigators propose to test whether, compared to the control condition, the anger-reduction treatment will lead to: 1) greater reductions in anger and 2) greater abstinence rates at post-cessation and at follow-up assessments. The investigators will also test whether changes in anger-related symptoms account for group differences in abstinence rates.
Anger, Smoking Cessation
Excessive and poorly controlled anger is one of the most common problems experienced by war Veterans. The consequences can be severe, including increased risk for divorce, domestic violence, job loss and instability, and other serious impairments in family, social, and occupational functioning. Availability of effective treatments is critical to reducing the adverse effects of anger in Veterans. The investigators propose to conduct a controlled study to determine whether a cognitive behavior treatment that has been adapted for treating anger problems in Veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan results in improved outcomes compared to a supportive therapy. Results will be examined for improvement in anger, functioning, and quality of life at end of 12 weekly sessions, and at 3 and 6 months following treatment.
Anger Problems
The immediate objective of this project was to demonstrate the feasibility of Remote Exercises for Learning Anger and Excitation Management (RELAX). The application is a remote, technology- enabled, anger treatment and management system based on current evidence-based CBT interventions. The project's objective was to show that RELAX (1) enables the practice of anger management strategies remotely through mobile phone interfaces; (2) integrates with evidence-based treatments through the implementation of an existing CBT anger management course; (3) provides information, direction, and feedback through physiological sensors and signal analysis; and (4) supports communication and direction by the therapist through a web-based therapist interface.
Anger, Stress Disorders, Post-Traumatic
The general aim of the proposed pilot study is to evaluate the the efficacy of mind-body bridging (MBB) for anger management compared with the Real Deal anger management program, in helping adolescents control or reduce their anger.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a computerized intervention designed to reduce anger-provoking interpretation biases will reduce suicide risk among individuals with elevated levels of trait anger.
Anger, Suicidal Ideation
The present study addresses problematic anger and irritability in community dwelling persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI). It is designed to test the worth of a novel treatment approach called Anger Self-Management Training (ASMT), compared to a treatment offering supportive therapy focused on personal readjustment and education, the PRE (Personal Readjustment and Education). The project is a 3-center randomized controlled trial employing equivalent therapist time and therapeutic structure in the delivery of treatment options. The overall aim is to evaluate the relative response rate and correlates of treatment response for the ASMT as compared to the PRE.
Traumatic Brain Injury
The purpose of this study is to determine whether adding an interactive biofeedback video game to anger control cognitive behavioral therapy is an effective and feasible treatment.

Tourette Syndrome, Chronic Tic Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, ADHD
This study examines the effects of 12 months of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) for subjects with borderline personality disorder on aggression, anger and emotional dysregulation. Treatment effects will be measured by changes in interview, self-report, psychophysiology testing and fMRI neuroimaging.
Borderline Personality Disorder
The purpose of this study is to see how different forms of "Anger Management" compare in reducing anger and impulsive aggressive symptoms in people. "Anger Management" is a common form of "talk therapy" used to help people with anger problems. There are different types of "talk therapy" used to help people for anger problems and this study will compare two types of talk therapy in people with Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED). IED is a disorder in which there are frequent and sudden outbursts of anger (yelling, throwing and breaking things, hitting people) that lead to problems with other people socially or at work.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a treatment designed to deal with anger and aggression from a past betrayal will work. The study will be done on active duty military service members and veterans aged 18 or older. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Will participants be satisfied with the treatment, and is the treatment feasible to do in a military outpatient setting * Will the treatment help with anger and aggression issues. Researchers will compare differences in groups that have different wait times (2-, 3-, or 4-weeks). Participants will complete surveys before, during and after the treatment. The treatment will be 14 modules given twice a week. About 1 month after treatment ends, surveys will be taken again.
