Simply walking involves visual movements related to the self, which must be distinguished from movements in the environment. This means a distinction between self and not-self. Furthermore, these movements are all the more difficult to distinguish as they may also result from the fact that hidden objects become visible as a result of our own movement. In all sense-of-self disorders can themselves affect physical training, and the investigators will measure them in the first stage. In the second stage, the investigators will apply a standard, risk-free PA protocol by walking (3x3 sessions of 30 min). the investigators will test the impact of physical training on the sense of self under different conditions, with one environment minimizing self-related movement, vs. 2 environments with a variable level of enrichment (i.e. hidden objects inducing more or less self-related movement).\n\nAt the end of the protocol, the investigators will offer participants who wish to take part in an ancillary study, i.e. a walking session with mixed-reality goggles.

In response to this, they tend to isolate themselves, with the risk of impeding care and the process of recovery and integration into society .

Self-stigma is involved in diminished coping skills that lead to social avoidance and difficulties in adhering to care .

The study builds upon previous findings suggesting that individuals with BPD experience intense emotional dysregulation, including negative self-perception, shame, and a compulsive need for external validation. This addiction to relationships, much like substance use disorders, is thought to contribute significantly to the difficulties faced by these individuals, including interpersonal conflicts, self-destructive behaviors, and emotional instability.\n\nThe study seeks to demonstrate that the relational difficulties central to BPD meet the diagnostic criteria for addiction as defined by the DSM-5. It will also explore how these relational struggles are mediated by dysfunctional self-perception and whether they are linked to behaviors such as compulsive sexual behaviors (CSBD) or suicidal tendencies. Additionally, the research will investigate the relationship between addiction to relationships and neurobiological factors, including endorphin levels, in individuals with BPD compared to those with bipolar disorder and healthy controls. The hypothesis is that individuals with BPD will exhibit higher levels of relationship addiction, with this addiction being tied to their perception of self-worth and emotional experiences in relationships.\n\nThis innovative approach aims to refine the understanding of BPD, reduce stigma, and improve treatment strategies by providing scientific evidence supporting the conceptualization of

Further, people with BPD's intimate relationships are highly disrupted, and their partners report elevated mental health problems but little access to treatment. Existing BPD treatments are resource-heavy, inaccessible, and 47% of people with BPD do not respond to them. These treatments also neglect relationship problems and intimate partner's mental health concerns, even though they are thought to play a key role in BPD maintenance. BPD interventions may produce stronger, quicker, and more durable outcomes if they incorporated partners to target both the emotional and relationship core of BPD. Moreover, incorporating partners into interventions may improve relationship outcomes and partner mental health without added resource investments.\n\nAccordingly, members of our team developed Sage. Named after a plant that thrives in relationship with its ecosystem, Sage is a brief, 12-session conjoint intervention for people with BPD and their intimate partners that targets BPD, relationship conflict, and partner mental health. Our recent uncontrolled trial provides preliminary support for its efficacy.\n\nAs a next step in testing Sage, it is critical to utilize a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) design to identify if Sage is more efficacious than standard care that these couples typically receive; supportive individual psychotherapy (SIP) for people with BPD and their partners. The investigators propose to conduct the first RCT of Sage for couples wherein one member has BPD. The study will examine if Sage is more efficacious than SIP in improving BPD symptoms (primary outcome), as well as relationship conflict and partner mental health (secondary outcomes), as well as a range of other outcomes, from pre- to post-intervention, and post-intervention to follow-up. It will also investigate factors that influence treatment response, BPD severity, and related problems.\n\nUp to 152 couples wherein one member has BPD will be randomized to receive Sage or SIP.

Considering a multifactorial etiological model, it has been suggested that the interaction between behavioral, environmental and genetic factors may promote the development of BPD. Early life stress events (ELS) in childhood and adolescence are highly prevalent in this population and constitute an environmental risk factor for the development of BPD. This correlates with the fact that Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is frequently comorbid in BPD leading to more severe symptoms and worse psychosocial functioning. At the therapeutic level, the treatment of BPD is an open challenge as psychotherapeutic interventions are of limited effectiveness and characterized by high drop-out rates. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is the gold standard for treating PTSD. However, scientific evidence on the application of EMDR in patients with BPD is limited. This study aims to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of an EMDR protocol on the nuclear symptomatology of BPD (emotional and behavioral dysregulation) in a group of DBP patients with\u002Fwithout PTSD comorbidity, through a systematic assessment of the peculiar dimensions of the disorder.

It affects the lives of millions worldwide and is often highly incapacitating, leading to significant psychosocial dysfunction. Moreover, nearly all patients have experienced suicidal ideation and about 10% actually commit suicide, a rate almost 50 times higher than in the general population. Mostly young women are at greater risk for the disorder and are three times more likely to be diagnosed with BPD than men.\n\nBPD aetiology is complex and could be explained by both biological and environmental factors. Among the environmental factors, sexual or physical abuse, parental divorce, loss or illnesses are identified as the most common ones. These factors can induce dysfunctional behaviours, which might cause emotional dysregulation, high impulsivity and frequent self- injurious behaviour.\n\nHowever, there are no pharmacologic interventions that are known to be specifically effective to treat BPD. Therapeutic options for this devastating disorder is still far from adequate for treating acute illness episodes, relapses, and recurrences and in restoring premorbid functioning. In addition, some patients are unable to tolerate existing therapies for BPD, which leads to either frequent changes in medications or to non-adherence. Therefore there is an urgent need for the development of more rapidly effective treatments for BPD.\n\nA growing body of evidence suggests that glutamatergic neurotransmission, in particular N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) subtype may play a role in the pathophysiology of multiple psychiatric disorders. This has led to various clinical trials with glutamate modulating drugs. The trial drug is an uncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonist approved for Alzheimer's disease is increasingly being studied in a variety of non-dementia psychiatric disorders. Results from these studies have proved that the trial drug was safe and well tolerated and has the potential for use in the treatment of psychiatric disorders.\n\nTo date, there are no published data on the use of trial drug in the treatment for BPD. Therefore, the investigators intend to study the efficacy of this novel drug as an addition to ongoing therapy with atypical antipsychotics in patients with Borderline Personality Disorder. This study will recruit 150 BPD patients. The patients will be randomly allocated to receive either the study medication (20mg\u002F day) or placebo via oral administration for twelve weeks.

The etiology of BPD is multifactorial and involves exposure to traumatic life events, which are present in the majority of cases. This explains the very common co-morbidity between BPD and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which involves emotionally painful memory relapses of one or more traumatic events, associated with an emotional trauma avoidance syndrome (s). ) and hypervigilance. Brain imaging studies in adolescents with BPD have shown decreases in the volume of gray matter within the frontolimbic network, as well as a decrease in frontolimbic white matter bundles. These brain changes are considered to be biological markers of TPB. However, the exact same brain changes are seen in PTSD. Although it represents more than a third of adolescents hospitalized in psychiatry, neuroscientific studies of BPD in adolescence are still scarce. The expertise we have acquired in U1077 in adolescents with PTSD offers us an exceptional opportunity to characterize in BPD with and without PTSD structural anomalies, including the hippocampus, and functional at rest, never used for hour in the teenager's BPD. Beyond that, carrying out an 18-month follow-up of the patients will allow us to assess the predictive value of these anomalies on the level of general psychopathology in all the patients studied and the intensity of the symptoms of traumatic relapse in the patients with PTSD. This modeling of disorders integrating psychopathological, neuropsychological and neuroanatomical approaches will provide the clinician with new knowledge necessary for therapeutic innovation.",[29],[654,655,656,657,658],"Adolescence","Hippocampus","Neuropsychology","Borderline personality disorder","Post-traumatic stress disorder","2025-07-22",{"date":661,"type":39},"2025-07-25",{"date":663,"type":39},"2022-03-11",{"date":665,"type":22},"2028-06-01",{"name":667,"class":74},"University Hospital, Caen",{"id":669,"slug":670,"hasResults":12,"nctId":671,"briefTitle":672,"officialTitle":673,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":674,"healthyVolunteers":12,"sex":17,"minAge":56,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":675,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":248,"phases":4,"briefSummary":676,"conditions":677,"keywords":680,"overallStatus":35,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":685,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":686,"startDateStruct":688,"completionDateStruct":690,"leadSponsor":692,"locationsCount":47},"100524271","which-factors-are-relevant-for-treatment-outcome-in-dialectical-behaviour-therapy-for-borderline-personality-disorder-100524271","NCT06106555","Which Factors Are Relevant for Treatment Outcome in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for Borderline Personality Disorder?","Vilka Faktorer påverkar Behandlingsutfall Vid Dialektisk Beteendeterapi för Borderline Personlighetssyndrom?","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Borderline personality disorder as defined by the DSM-V (assessed with SCID or uquivalent).\n* Self-harm over the past 12 months\n* Offered DBT at the Lund adult psychiatric clinic\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Unable to read or communicate in Swedish",{"count":299,"type":22},"The objective of this project is to investigate factors that contribute to the success and lack of success in DBT among individuals with BPD and a history of self-harm in a clinical psychiatric setting.\n\n1.
