Filter by:The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of risperidone (an antipsychotic medication) versus placebo as add-on therapy to mood stabilizers in the treatment of manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether early integrated prophylactic combined medical and psychological outpatient treatment is associated with a better prognosis in patients with severe unipolar and bipolar affective disorders than standard treatment.
The purpose of this study is to identify genetic predictors of lithium response in bipolar disorder.
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that flax oil, as an omega-3 fatty acid, will be superior to placebo in the maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder in children and adolescents. Our primary objective was to determine if flax oil is efficacious in the pediatric bipolar population for reducing symptoms of mania and depression. A secondary objective was to examine fatty acid levels as predictors of treatment response and symptom severity. This clinical trial evaluated whether supplementation with flax oil, containing the omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (alpha-LNA), safely reduced symptom severity in youth with bipolar disorder.
This is a single center, open prospective study to evaluate the effectiveness of quetiapine monotherapy in the maintenance treatment of adolescent patients with a bipolar spectrum disorder (bipolar I and bipolar II disorders, cyclothymia, and bipolar disorder not otherwise specified [bipolar NOS]) for a minimum of 48 weeks. Patients will be screened (enrolment phase) either when already stabilized or during an acute episode of mania/hypomania or depression.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of risperidone (an antipsychotic medication) versus placebo as add-on therapy to mood stabilizers, in the treatment of manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder.
The purpose of the study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of risperidone (an antipsychotic medication) versus placebo in treating mania during 3 weeks of treatment in patients with Bipolar I Disorder who suffer from manic or mixed episodes.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of a long-acting injectable formulation of risperidone in stable bipolar patients randomly switched from their current add-on oral antipsychotic (olanzapine, risperidone, or quetiapine) therapy to long-acting injectable risperidone. The patients switched to long-acting injectable risperidone will be compared to patients who continue on their oral antipsychotic treatment regimen
Insulin resistance is known to be associated with mood disorders and cognitive difficulties. The purpose of this study is to treat depressed patients with rosiglitazone (also known as [AKA] Avandia), therefore improving glucose sensitivity, which in turn has the potential to affect mood and thinking. We, the researchers at Stanford University, are recruiting men and women who have been diagnosed with depression, and are willing to participate in this 3 month study. Participation involves neuropsychological testing, 2 blood draws called an oral glucose tolerance test (oGTT), which tests for glucose and insulin levels, and the medication, rosiglitazone. Participants are allowed to continue on their current psychiatric medication.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of topiramate compared with placebo in the treatment of acute manic or mixed episodes in patients with Bipolar I Disorder.
