Mental health interventions for people with epilepsy, particularly children, has been identified as an area for further research by the NHS.\n\nCompassion based interventions have been effective with people with long term physical health conditions. These interventions aim to develop an individual's compassion towards the self and others in response to self-criticism or shame.

Local clinicians in epilepsy services will be asked to identify potential participants. Up to six children\u002Fyoung people will be included in the study. Participants will complete outcomes measures (about their quality of life, mood and self-compassion) weekly before the intervention, for up to five weeks, and then weekly until the end of the intervention. The intervention will be three sessions with the lead researcher, conducted online via Microsoft teams. Participants will then have four weeks to practice Loving Kindness Meditation. They will then have a follow up session about how they found the intervention, what was helpful and what they would change.

Therefore, it is important to make sure that there is effective psychological support available to them. Unfortunately, research shows that the most commonly used therapy approach, CBT, has very inconsistent evidence regarding its effectiveness for SCI patients. It has also been found that providing support shortly after the injury can be helpful for patients in the long term. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate whether an alternative therapy approach, called Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (FACT), can be effectively delivered to SCI patients shortly after their injury, whilst they are recovering in hospital.\n\nTo answer this question, a single case experimental design (SCED) series will be used in which participants will regularly complete a number of questionnaires asking about: symptoms relating to their mental health; quality of life; how they are adjusting to their injury; and how they approach coping with difficulties they face, before receiving FACT and for a period of time afterwards. This will provide quantitative information regarding the effect of the intervention. At a one month follow up, these questionnaires will be repeated, and participants will be interviewed about their experiences of the intervention to understand whether there are any issues that need to be considered when using this therapy for SCI patients in hospitals. Using a SCED series design will require us to recruit at least 3 participants.\n\nThe information will be analysed to conclude whether it is feasible to use this therapy in this way, and whether it is effective at improving the mental health and quality of life of SCI patients.",[63],"Spinal Cord Injury",[63,65,66],"Acceptance and Commitment Therapy","Brief Intervention","2025-09-08",{"date":69,"type":41},"2025-09-11",{"date":71,"type":20},"2025-10",{"date":73,"type":20},"2026-02",{"name":47,"class":48},{"id":76,"slug":77,"hasResults":11,"nctId":78,"briefTitle":79,"officialTitle":80,"acronym":81,"eligibilityCriteria":82,"healthyVolunteers":83,"sex":16,"minAge":84,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":85,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":21,"phases":87,"briefSummary":88,"conditions":89,"keywords":93,"overallStatus":96,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":67,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":97,"startDateStruct":99,"completionDateStruct":101,"leadSponsor":103,"locationsCount":49},"100601327","virtual-reality-within-palliative-care-vr-spc-100601327","NCT07109050","Virtual Reality Within Palliative Care (VR-SPC)","The Effectiveness of Virtual Reality Interventions Within Specialist Palliative Care (VR-SPC): A Hermeneutic Single Case Efficacy Design (HSCED) Series","VR-SPC","Inclusion criteria:\n\nParticipants recieving palliative care must be:\n\n* Aged 18 or over (no upper age limit due to the service being lifelong).\n* Patients deemed to be palliative, receiving specialist care at the designated hospice as either an inpatient or outpatient.\n* Willing and able to engage in VR interventions as determined by the patients' usual care team.\n* Able to consent to the research, as assessed by the clinical psychologist supporting recruitment and the primary researcher delivering the VR intervention.\n\nParticipant companions (carers, relatives) must be:\n\n* Aged 18 or over (no upper age limit).\n* Willing and able to engage in VR interventions and travel to the designated hospice site.\n* Able to consent to the research, as assessed by the clinical psychologist supporting recruitment and the primary researcher delivering the VR intervention.\n\nExclusion criteria:\n\n* Lacking capacity to consent to take part in research as assessed by both the clinical psychologist supporting recruitment and the primary researcher delivering VR.\n* Exhibiting contraindications as set out by care team including eyesight impairments or neurological conditions such as epilepsy or dementia.",true,"18 Years",{"count":86,"type":20},12,[23],"Literature so far shows VR is largely acceptable and feasible to use in palliative care settings, especially for improving patient wellbeing and mental health.
