    Insights

    Accessing clinical trials for veterans can be difficult, but many studies are now recruiting. Over 1000 trials are sponsored by the VA Office of Research and Development, focusing on veteran suicide. Consult clinicaltrials.gov for details.

    Area of Science:

    • Clinical research
    • Veteran health
    • Suicidology

    Background:

    • Access to clinical trials for veterans presents unique challenges.
    • A substantial number of clinical trials are actively recruiting veteran patients.
    • The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of Research and Development sponsors or co-sponsors over 1000 trials.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify and list clinical trials focused exclusively on suicide among US veterans.
    • To provide a resource for veterans and researchers seeking relevant suicide prevention studies.
    • To highlight the availability of ongoing research opportunities for veteran populations.

    Main Methods:

    • Compilation of open clinical trials as of September 27, 2019.
    • Filtering trials based on patient population (US veterans).
    • Focusing on trials with suicide as the primary research area.

    Main Results:

    • Multiple clinical trials are open and recruiting veterans for suicide-related research.
    • The VA is a significant sponsor of research in this area.
    • A specific list of relevant trials is available for consultation.

    Conclusions:

    • Numerous clinical trials addressing veteran suicide are accessible.
    • Veterans have opportunities to participate in research aimed at suicide prevention.
    • Clinicaltrials.gov serves as a primary resource for detailed trial information.

    Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

    Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition that arises following exposure to traumatic events such as natural disasters, forced displacement, or severe accidents. It significantly impairs individuals' ability to cope with daily activities and disrupts their emotional and psychological equilibrium.
    Symptoms and Behavioral Manifestations
    A spectrum of distressing symptoms characterizes PTSD. Recurrent flashbacks, where individuals involuntarily relive traumatic events,...

    Clinical Trials01:16

    Clinical Trials

    Clinical trials are prospective experimental studies conducted on humans to determine the safety and efficacy of treatments, drugs, diet methods, and medical devices. Using statistics in clinical trials enables researchers to derive reasonable and accurate conclusions from the collected data, allowing them to make wise decisions in uncertain situations. In medical research, statistical methods are crucial for preventing errors and bias.
    There are four phases in a clinical trial. A phase one...

    Clinical Trials: Overview

    Clinical development focuses on how the drug will interact with the human body and encompasses four key phases of clinical trials, each serving a specific purpose in assessing the safety and effectiveness of new drugs. These phases overlap and build upon one another. Phase I involves a small group of healthy volunteers (typically 20-80 individuals) or, in cases where significant toxicity is expected, patients with the targeted disease, such as cancer or AIDS. The volunteers are tested for...

    Treatment Strategies for Psychological Disorders

    Treatment approaches for psychological disorders fall into three main categories: psychological, biological, and sociocultural. Each approach targets different aspects of mental health, requiring varying levels of education and training.
    Psychological therapies focus on modifying emotions, thoughts, and behaviors through talking, interpreting, listening, rewarding, challenging, and modeling. Clinical psychologists, counselors, and social workers commonly practice psychotherapy. Clinical...

    Long-term Depression01:03

    Long-term Depression

    Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.
