6 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This is a study comparing a new treatment (HOPE) to supportive therapy in the treatment of PTSD in residents of battered women's shelters.
Identifying neural mechanisms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatment could help elucidate reasons for variable treatment response and identify novel treatment targets. Exposure-based therapies have been associated with decreased amygdala and increased cingulate cortex response during emotional processing. The current study examined whether cognitive therapy for PTSD in women reduces activation in insula and amygdala and enhances activation in prefrontal regions during emotional anticipation and pre-treatment prefrontal activation predicts treatment response.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of culturally competent psychoeducational empowerment sessions in treating suicidal African-American women who are in abusive relationships.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a brief cognitive behavioral treatment, Helping to Overcome PTSD through Empowerment, in treating abused women with post-traumatic stress disorder who are living in shelters.
This study developed and assessed an innovative, high-reach, easily implementable, low-cost computer-delivered intervention (Safe and Healthy Experiences; The SHE Program) that addresses known barriers in early identification and intervention with sheltered battered women with IPV (intimate partner violence) and substance use.
This is a developmental study evaluating a new rapid HIV testing and risk prevention intervention for residents of battered women's shelters who endorse risky sexual behaviors.
