About this study

Official title: Dealing With Anxiety: A Pilot Cognitive Behavioural Program for Diabetic Clinic Outpatient Attendees

This study was designed to assess whether a cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) program for diabetes clinic patients was acceptable, improved quality of life and produced measurable change in levels of depression, anxiety and stress.

Read the detailed description

Having co-morbid anxiety or depression makes it difficult to carry out the activities for diabetes selfcare. Psychological interventions have been shown to result in improvements in HbA1C and depression. Reports on psychosocial outcomes are conflicting and there are no studies of quality of life. Our diabetes outpatient population has a higher prevalence of anxiety and depression compared to the general public and this led to the development of a group CBT intervention designed to reduce anxiety as a co-morbidity of diabetes.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Immediate Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and Delayed CBT in people with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2, run by Hunter and New England Health at 1 site in Australia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Apr 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Australia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Apr 2008.
