What is Diastat

DiazepamThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryDiazepam is a medicine used to treat a variety of conditions, including severe anxiety, insomnia, seizures, muscle spasms, and alcohol withdrawal. It works by increasing the activity of a brain chemical called gamma-aminobutyric acid. There is also an auto-injectable form of diazepam which is designed to be injected under the skin quickly and easily, offering faster results in cases of uncontrolled seizures. This has become an important treatment option for people with epilepsy.

Effectiveness

How Diastat Affects PatientsDiazepam is a type of medication that helps reduce anxiety and causes sedation, muscle relaxation, and memory loss. It works by increasing the action of a neurotransmitter called GABA, which helps to quiet down the activity in the brain.
How Diastat works in the bodyDiazepam is a drug that helps reduce anxiety, muscle tension, and seizures. It works by increasing the effects of a calming chemical in the brain called GABA. This helps with sleep, memory, relaxation, and controlling nerve activity.

Patient Q&A Section about diastat

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What are the side effects of Diastat?

"Tiredness, drowsiness, dizziness, headache, nausea, and vomiting are all common symptoms of sleepiness."

Answered by AI

How quickly does Diastat work?

"How long does it Diastat take to work? It is absorbed quickly from the rectum and seizures may stop within 15 minutes of administering the medicine; however, it will continue to work for a much longer duration. Diastat reaches a peak level in the bloodstream in approximately 1.5 hours but can last up to almost 2 days."

Answered by AI

Is Diastat the same as diazepam?

"Diazepam rectal gel, marketed as Diastat in the US and Canada, is an anticonvulsant used to stop cluster seizures. It is inserted into the rectum."

Answered by AI

What is Diastat used for?

"DIASTAT can be used to treat infrequent, unusual episodes of increased seizures in patients with epilepsy who are 2 years of age or older. DIASTAT can cause potentially fatal effects if it is used with opioids, including problems with breathing and extreme sedation."

Living Well Program for Anxiety in Breast Cancer

18+
Female
Los Angeles, CA
The goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of the Living Well Program, a digital therapeutic application with telecoaching support, in breast cancer patients with moderate-to-severe anxiety. The main question the study aims to answer is: does digital cognitive-behavioral therapy-based interventions decrease the overall healthcare costs of patients with stage II to IV breast cancer? The study has one group of participants who will use the Living Well app and telecoaching support. This group will be compared to retroactively matched controls. Over 3 months, patients will complete 21 mental health modules and 5 telecoaching sessions. In the following 3 months, they will complete any outstanding telecoaching sessions and modules while still being monitored, even if they finished all modules and sessions in the first 3 months. The 6 months after that will be the follow-up phase. They will still have access to the Living Well app and may continue to use it, and they will complete the same assessment questionnaires as baseline to identify any changes in their overall mental health.

Virtual Reality for Cancer

18 - 90
All Sexes
Jacksonville, FL
This clinical trial tests the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of a virtual reality intervention to improve psychological symptom burden for cancer patients undergoing treatment. Virtual reality (VR) is a technology that allows users to experience and interact with three-dimensional, computer-generated environments that simulate the real world or imagined settings. The VR intervention consists of a preloaded with immersive environments designed to engage the senses through simulated sights and sounds. This may include a walk through of a serene forest, exploring vibrant coral reefs, swimming with dolphins, or standing at the base of a majestic waterfall. These environments are created to provide a relaxing and engaging experience. Completing the VR intervention may be a safe and effective way to improve quality of life, reduce anxiety, enhance focus, and promote healthy living for cancer patients undergoing treatment.

Safe and Sound Protocol for Substance Abuse

18 - 75
All Sexes
Wernersville, PA
This study will explore whether the use of the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) app is an effective adjunct to treatment as usual (TAU) in individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders and trauma. This study will recruit 129 participants (100 completers) randomized to receive either active or sham SSP in addition to TAU. Participants will utilize the SSP for a minimum of three hours to a maximum of five hours for a total of seven days. Data will be collected at both pre- and post-test. Data to be collected will include measures on affect, anxiety, personality, mindfulness, and posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms. The SSP has shown effectiveness in reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma symptoms in pilot studies conducted at other locations. This will be the first study to examine the effectiveness of SSP with individuals with co-occurring SUD and trauma.

Dream Yoga Inspired Intervention for Anxiety

18+
All Sexes
Evanston, IL
This is a feasibility study to test whether it is possible to deliver a program inspired by Tibetan Dream Yoga in a modern, accessible way. Dream Yoga is a set of contemplative practices that combine mental exercises during the day with techniques for becoming aware of dreaming within a dream (lucid dreaming) and engage in certain dream activities. The purpose of these practices is to help people explore and loosen rigid patterns of thought and behavior. In this study, the investigators are developing and testing a program that includes guided imagination, meditation, and lucid-dreaming practices, supported by virtual-reality experiences and home-based sleep-monitoring technology. Participants are randomly assigned to either the Dream-Yoga-inspired program or a comparison program focused on general health and sleep education. Because this is a feasibility trial, our main goals are to see whether people are willing and able to take part, whether they find the program acceptable, and whether the investigators can deliver it as planned. The investigators will also explore early signals of change in sleep, dreaming, and thinking. The long-term goal of this research is to determine if such interventions could be beneficial for supporting psychological well-being, improving sleep, and enhancing creativity and flexibility of thought.

Biofeedback for Anxiety

18 - 35
All Sexes
Miami, FL
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a four-week heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback intervention to improve physiological stress response, emotion regulation, and anxiety-related symptoms in young ethnic minority adults with a family history of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group, where they will engage in guided paced breathing exercises, or a control group, which will follow standard conditions without the intervention. The study consists of five sessions, including an initial assessment, three weekly check-in sessions, and a final post-intervention assessment. Participants will practice paced breathing at home and attend brief in-lab sessions to track progress. Physiological and psychological measures, such as HRV, GSR, BP, anxiety levels, and responses to the Socially Evaluated Cold Pressor Test (SECPT), will be used to assess outcomes. Findings from this study may provide insights into accessible, non-invasive stress management interventions to mitigate CVD risk in high-risk populations.

Peer Support Services for Teen Mental Health

15 - 18
All Sexes
Dallas, TX
The goal of this pilot study is to test the effectiveness of a novel intervention for teenagers (ages 15-18) with mental health conditions who have been released from an acute care psychiatric facility. The intervention aims to reduce suicidality, depression, anxiety, re-hospitalization, and to improve mental health recovery by using an online recovery education and support program. The current standard of care (SOC) for these patients at discharge includes a discharge plan with a list of their medication(s), anticipated outpatient appointment(s), and corresponding information on when and where to find community resources. The intervention being tested involves the implementation of an online recovery education and support (RES) program, involving one-on-one and small group meetings led by trained teen peers (TPs) and peer support specialists (PSS). Participants will be assigned to either Cohort A or B for 8 weeks. Cohort A will be the intervention group with online access to an RES, TP, and PSS. * Week 1-4: One-on-one meetings with PSS and TP for education and support. Assessments will be completed at week 2 and 4. * Week 5 and 7: one-one meetings with PSS and TP for education and support. * Week 6 and 8: small group meetings with PSS, TP, and other participants. Assessments will be completed during Weeks 6 and 8. Cohort B will be the SOC group with no PSS, TP, or RES. * Weeks 1-4: Weekly check in phone calls with a member of the research team. Assessments will be completed at Weeks 2 and 4. * Weeks 5-8: Check in phone calls with a member of the research team every other week. Assessments will be completed at weeks 6 and8. Data collected from participant assessments, adherence to medication, and re-admittance to a psychiatric facility will be used to compare the intervention to the SOC.
