Background To the best of our knowledge, no specialized research has been conducted to address ailurophobia (fear cats) in Iran or globally. This driven project, along with prevalence and absence a gamified virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) that incorporates affordable easily accessible biofeedback (BF) tools. We hypothesize VRET augmented BF will yield more positive effects than similar device lacking BF. Objective study primarily focuses on development preliminary evaluation...
Assessment of Executive Functions in Methamphetamineaddicted Individuals: Emphasis on Duration Addiction and Abstinence
ince its outbreak in December 2019 Wuhan, China, COVID-19 reached a pandemic state less than 6 months and is still on the rise (World Health Organization, 2020).Considering high transmissibility of (Wilder-Smith, Chiew, & Lee, 2020), global health social actions should be taken to stop or reduce human-to-human transmission virus.As community one important levels methods human beings' judgment considered if we want tackle disease effectively.
Abstinence-based therapy (ABT) and methadone maintenance (MMT) are common methods of treatment in heroin dependence as both suppress subjective feeling drug craving. However, it is not clear whether the neural basis craving suppression similar types treatments. In this study, we compared brain activation during pictorial presentation heroin-related cues ABT MMT groups to understand these groups.Three subjects (successful clients healthy control) underwent functional magnetic resonance...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that impairs cognitive performance. Attention, response control, working memory, and processing speed are highly impaired in MS. On the other hand, RehaCom computerized software improves dysfunctions. In this study, we aimed to investigate effect of on attention, speed, visuospatial skills, verbal/non-verbal executive functions MS patients. Sixty patients were selected randomly divided into control (n = 30) experimental groups....
: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) generated profound concerns in public. However, few validated scales measure COVID-related stress. We developed and psychometrically assessed a unique COVID-19 Stress Scale (CSS) an Iranian non-clinical population. The CSS was to evaluate the existing stress measures, specialists' reviews, interviews with healthy individuals. Experts provided feedback on content validity. correlation of Depression, Anxiety, 21 (DASS-21) evaluated assess convergent...
Breast cancer is now the most significant health issue in women, threatening diverse aspects of human health, including mental and cognitive function. This research aimed to validate Persian version Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) Iranian women with breast cancer.We gathered data on 229 Tehran through convenience sampling. They completed a demographic questionnaire, MAAS, General Self-Efficacy Scale, DASS-21. SPSS-22 analyzed Pearson correlation between general self-efficacy, Also,...
Background and Purpose. Leisure, as an occupation, played a crucial role in promoting individuals’ health well-being. However, the specific impact of leisure intervention for individuals with substance use disorder remains unclear. This pilot study was aimed at investigating effect on occupational performance balance disorder. Methods. The sample this quasiexperimental pretest–posttest two-month follow-up design comprised nine aged between 18 55 years, selected using convenience sampling...
Background and Objectives Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a non‐invasive brain stimulation method, which shows promising therapeutic effects in controlling drug cravings. Methods In this study, we present cumulative booster of tDCS sessions on methamphetamine cravings, lapse, cognitive impairment dependent subject. Results Our study continuous anodal right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) could reduce cravings their consequences. Discussion Conclusions Moreover,...
Stroke survivors need assistance to overcome cognitive impairments. Working memory (WM) and processing speed (PS) as two critical functions are disrupted by stroke. The goal of this study was investigate the effect RehaCom rehabilitation software on WM PS in participants with chronic ischemic stroke hemiplegia (right/left side). Participants were selected among patients who referred our special clinic. Fifty assigned control (n = 25) experimental groups. results group compared before after...
Drug craving, the main cause of relapse and a major motivator for drug use, is challenging obstacle in substance use treatment. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), non-invasive neuromodulatory technique, has shown promising outcomes treating different neuropsychiatric disorders such as addiction, more specifically on craving. The aim study was to examine effects applying tDCS dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) reducing cravings former crystalline-heroin users enrolled...
Abstract Background Cue reactivity is one of the most frequently used paradigms in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies substance use disorders (SUDs). While there have been promising results elucidating neurocognitive mechanisms SUDs and SUD treatments, interpretability reproducibility these limited by incomplete reporting participant characteristics, task design, craving assessment, scanning preparation analysis decisions fMRI drug cue (FDCR) experiments. This hampers...
Background: Drug addiction refers to a maladaptive pattern of drug use that frequently leads substance abuse problems and accompanying cognitive behavioral symptoms. Among the crucial criteria addiction, craving stands out as potent factor contributing ongoing relapse following period abstinence. To date, there is no definitive method for eradicating opioid cravings. The introduction novel neurocognitive interventions, such rehabilitation photobiomodulation (PBM), into realm psychiatric...

Introduction. Binaural beats (BBs) are phantom sound illusions perceived when two sounds of slightly different frequencies separately transmitted to the ears. It is suggested that some BB might entrain brain and enhance certain cognitive functions such as working memory or attention. Nevertheless, studies in this regard very scarce, quite controversial, merely covering a small portion vast field research (e.g., testing only few frequencies), not mention adopting limited methodologies no...
Candida species are a group of coexistent microorganisms in the oral cavity that opportunistically cause disease vulnerable people, including addicts. This study is aimed at identifying and determining frequency addicts to inform epidemiological panel warn prevent resistance species.In this study, sampling was done from 83 who referred Addiction Treatment Centers Isfahan, Iran, using moist sterile swab. The presence yeast on direct microscope slides 58 samples confirmed. To carry out culture...
Introduction: Drug craving is a major problem in addiction treatment. Neuroimaging research has revealed various areas for drug craving, among which two key are the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC) and cerebellum. The DLPFC involved different cognitive tasks, such as inhibitory control over seductive options that promise an immediate reward. cerebellum related to cognition memory activated by drug-related cues. Therefore, we decided study effect of Transcranial Direct Current...
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is one disabling psychiatric condition. Investigations reported the effectiveness of trans-cranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in regulating orbito-fronto-striato-pallido-thalamic network activity OCD patients. In these patients, hypo- or hyper-activity different brain areas including orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA), cingulate gyrus, putamen, thalamus, parietal and cerebellum have been reported.The purpose this...
