Filter by:This study uses polysomnographs(PSG) to investigate sleep patterns in patients with bipolar depression. This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, study of ziprasidone that is added to patients current medications. The objective is to relate changes in slow wave and rapid eye movement sleep to changes in mood and overall illness severity. Participants will be randomly assigned to add either placebo or ziprasidone to their current treatment regimen. Participants make 3 to 4 study visits, over a 1 month period, at which they will be asked about their history, mood and sleep quality. Participants will also have three in-home overnight polysomnographs.
This is a 12-week, open label trial of lamotrigine for older adults (age 60 and older) with type I or type II Bipolar depression. Non-demented older adults with Bipolar I or II depression, confirmed via the Structured Clinical Interview for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM) - Patient edition (SCID-I/P) and meeting inclusion criteria for depressive symptom severity (score of 18 or greater on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale/HAM-D-24) will receive add-on lamotrigine dosed to a target of 200 mg/day.
The purpose of the research is to study brain structure, function and chemistry of patients with bipolar disorder who are receiving quetiapine or lithium, in order to better understand who benefits from treatment and why they respond to medications.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether olanzapine is superior to placebo in patients with bipolar depression.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a treatment regimen of ziprasidone plus a mood stabilizer is safe and effective in the short term treatment of Bipolar I Depression. Ziprasidone will be added to lithium, valproate or lamotrigine after the patient has been on a therapeutic dose of one of these mood stabilizers for at least 4 weeks.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of sustained-release quetiapine fumarate (Seroquel®) in the treatment of patients with Acute Bipolar Depression for 8 weeks. PLEASE NOTE: Seroquel SR and Seroquel XR refer to the same formulation. The SR designation was changed to XR after consultation with FDA.
The purpose of the study is to investigate whether eight weeks of treatment with flexible doses of Bifeprunox is superior to treatment with placebo in depressed patients with bipolar disorder.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of olanzapine and fluoxetine combined on all the visits as compared with the baseline visit in patients with bipolar disorder, measured by the total score of the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS).
The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and efficacy of Depakote ER in bipolar depression and to evaluate metabolic and GABA changes with Depakote ER administration using PET and MRI/MRS brain imaging techniques.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of quetiapine in the treatment of a major depressive episode in patients with bipolar disorder.
