Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of digital interventions in treating depression and anxiety in adolescents. The main question it aims to answer is: Can digital interventions effectively alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety in adolescents? The trial will include a comparison group where researchers will compare the effects of the digital intervention to traditional health education methods to assess their relative efficacy. Participants will be asked to engage with the digital intervention platform for a period of two months.
Aim: In this prospective, randomized controlled study, it was aimed to examine the effects of early half-swaddle and kangaroo care practices in term babies on maternal sleep quality and postpartum depression. Design: The prospective, randomized controlled study
The aim of this project is to find out if there is a difference in addictive behavior, personality traits, and cognitive abilities between chess players and non-chess players.
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common severe psychiatric disease with enormous socioeconomic costs for the patient and society alike. Current pharmacological treatments are ineffective in a substantial fraction of patients and are accompanied by unwanted side effects. Using a novel non-invasive brain stimulation method to specifically target and modulate dysfunctional brain oscillations with high spatial and temporal precision this study will investigate the efficacy of EEG-triggered transcranial magnetic stimulation to alleviate de-pressive symptomatology in patients with MDD in a double-blind randomized controlled pilot clinical trial.
This proposal seeks to conduct a pragmatic single arm, open label pilot implementation to validate our individualized functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) connectome-guided localization approach for accelerated TMS among Asian patients with depression. Participants will be patients with Major Depressive Disorder not responding to standard treatment, with no exclusions to fMRI or transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) (essentially metal implants in the head) and willing to participate in the pilot. All participants will undergo MRI scans before and after the accelerated TMS treatment. The multi-session hierarchical Bayesian model (MS-HBM) approach will be used to estimate individualized connectome-guided target locations. Patients will undergo accelerated TMS applied to individualized connectome-guided target locations (based on the MS-HBM approach). Patients will undergo 10 sessions (each session lasting 10 min) spread out over 10 hours each day for 5 consecutive working days. All clinical outcome data will be collected for each patient by a pre-defined questionnaire at four time points: at baseline, post-treatment, 1 month and 3 months during follow-up. The clinical outcome data will be analyzed using linear regression or repeated analysis of variance (ANOVA) after adjusting for baseline clinical characteristics and socio-demographics. Trajectories of the clinical outcome data at baseline, post-treatment and all follow-up time points will be plotted and compared with time series statistical analysis models with the other clinical and socio-demographic characteristics included as confounders.
The purpose of this study is to see if one or two doses of psilocybin is more effective in relieving depressive symptoms in patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Researchers also want to know if a second dose of psilocybin is safe and well-tolerated. This study will see if psilocybin is effective, safe, and well-tolerated by tracking changes in depressive symptoms, suicidality, and side effects. This study will also see if a second dose of psilocybin has an effect on quality of life, functioning, cognition (thinking, reasoning, remembering), and how long depressive symptoms improve (or worsen) after psilocybin is administered.
The study is a Phase 2, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) participants with an inadequate response to standard antidepressants The objective of the study is to assess CLE-100 (oral esketamine) for the treatment of MDD in participants currently treated with an oral antidepressant medication and who have an inadequate response to at least 2 antidepressants.
The goal of this single-arm, observational pilot study is to learn about the safety, feasibility, preliminary efficacy of TMS for the treatment of depression in people with MS. Participants will receive outpatient TMS treatment over the course of 5-6 weeks. Participants will complete validated questionnaires and exams before, during, and after treatment.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of the culturally adapted skills-training START NOW in youth migrant populations. The main question it aims to answer is: Is the culturally adapted skills training START NOW more effective than treatment as usual (TAU) in reducing mental health problems in migrants? Participants will be randomly assigned to the intervention group receiving the skills training START NOW Adapted or the control group receiving TAU. Researchers will compare both groups to see if START NOW Adapted is more effective than TAU in reducing mental health problems in migrants.
The CogniTReaD study is a pilot clinical trial that will compare the effects of active accelerated bilateral sequential theta burst stimulation (absTBS) and sham or inactive treatment. The goal is to see if absTBS can help older adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) by looking at dual-task cost and mood, as well as other cognitive functions, anxiety levels, quality of life, and physical performance, while also checking for any treatment side effects. The study will recruit participants who will receive different study treatments in a specific order. The study will be double-blinded, meaning neither the participants nor the researchers will know who is receiving which treatment. The study will include people who are 50 years old or older and diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression with at least a moderate severity of depression. This study seeks to discover if absTBS can modify a dementia risk marker (i.e., dual-task cost and depression) in older patients with TRD, and to determine the effect size for larger investigations in the future.
