Psychosocial interventions for stimulant use disorder
CONCLUSIONS: This review's findings indicate that psychosocial treatments can help people with stimulant use disorder by reducing dropout rates. This conclusion is based on high-certainty evidence from comparisons of psychosocial interventions with both no treatment and TAU. This is an important finding because many people with stimulant use disorders leave treatment prematurely. Stimulant use disorders are chronic, lifelong, relapsing mental disorders, which require substantial therapeutic efforts to achieve abstinence. For those who are not yet able to achieve complete abstinence, retention in treatment may help to reduc...

The clinical effect of digital cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia in subgroups with depressive and anxiety symptoms: A secondary analysis of a randomized-controlled trial
J Sleep Res. 2024 Feb 14:e14173. doi: 10.1111/jsr.14173. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInsomnia is a highly prevalent mental disorder, and is often co-occurring with depression and anxiety disorders. Cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia as treatment of choice for insomnia can also be applied digitally (digital cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia), making it more accessible. This is a secondary data analysis of a two-armed parallel randomized-controlled trial. In the primary publication, N = 238 participants meeting criteria for the 5th edition of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders chronic in...

"Let's talk about sleep health": Patient perspectives on willingness to engage in psychological interventions for insomnia
CONCLUSION: This study highlights key factors influencing patients' intention to engage in psychological interventions for insomnia as well as opportunities for GPs to support uptake and engagement. Routine conversations about sleep health are essential to reduce the burden of untreated insomnia in the community, and active promotion of evidence-based psychological interventions are needed.PMID:38355220 | DOI:10.3399/BJGP.2023.0310 (Source: The British Journal of General Practice)

One year follow-up of participants in a randomised controlled trial of a CBT-based group therapy programme for adolescents diagnosed with ADHD
CONCLUSIONS: The intervention delivered in this trial failed to show a treatment effect on symptom level when added to standard care. Participants did however report on positive gains and felt they learned a lot. More research is needed to explore how the programme and delivery of treatment might be improved, and which patients might benefit the most from this type of interventions.PMID:38353423 | DOI:10.1080/08039488.2024.2301774 (Source: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry)

Exercise combined with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for chronic pain: One ‐year follow‐up from a randomized controlled trial
ConclusionsThe study results showed no significant difference between the two groups for the primary outcome pain interference at 1-year follow-up. Future research could investigate factors that may predict and optimize outcomes from these types of intervention for people living with chronic pain.SignificanceFew previous randomized controlled trials investigating ACT for chronic pain have included long-term follow-up. This study found that Exercise combined with ACT was not superior to supervised exercise alone for reducing pain interference at 1-year follow-up. Further research is necessary to identify key processes of th...

A randomised controlled evaluation of an online perfectionism intervention for people with disordered eating - how perfect does it need to be?
Cogn Behav Ther. 2024 Feb 8:1-16. doi: 10.1080/16506073.2024.2313739. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLess help-seeking for an eating disorder is predicted by higher levels of denial of, and failure to perceive, illness severity. This research evaluates a "backdoor" approach to early intervention by investigating whether internet cognitive behaviour therapy for perfectionism can significantly improve disordered eating. Additionally, we investigated whether a more interactive intervention impacted outcomes. Participants were recruited worldwide online; 368 were screened, 172 (46.7%) met inclusion criteria (endorsed high shape...
