Filter by:This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a web-based self-help intervention in adolescents with acute or remitted major depressive disorder. We will examine whether this intervention improves positive affect, reduces stress and alleviates negative affect and depressive symptoms in adolescents aged 12 to 18 years. We will also investigate the rates of adherence among the adolescents who use this web-based intervention and the acceptability of the intervention with adolescents.
The purpose of this study is to 1) explore whether vagal nerve stimulation (nVNS) using a hand- held non-invasive device (gammaCore™) works to treat depression and 2) to confirm gammaCore™'s safety profile.
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common mental illness with high prevalence and global burden. Previous studies revealed that over 70% patients in remission still had decreased quality of life, severe function impairment, low positive mental health score and poor coping ability. However, few studies focus on working and school age patients with MDD. A GBD survey showed that over 40% MDD patients are 15-50 years old. Therefore, we initiate the present multi-center cross-sectional survey to investigate the associations between clinical symptoms, cognitive function, occupational/study ability, and quality of life in Chinese working and school age population with MDD who are in remission.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, fixed-dose study in patients with a primary diagnosis of MDD according to criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) who have an inadequate response to ongoing ADT.
This is a phase 2 and 3 adaptive design study for Mitizodone Phosphate,to find out an optimal dose in phase 2 period and confirm the result an efficacy and safety in phase 3 period.Dose-finding will be done after 8 weeks of double-blinded treatment in phase 2 period and will be assessed by both efficacy and safety from 3 dose groups of Mitizodone Phosphate.The dose be found in phase 2 period will be evaluated on efficacy and safety when compared with placebo in phase 3 period with a duration of 8 weeks treatment.The target subjects are patients with MDD.
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of single ascending doses of GATE-251 in normal human volunteers
The proposed study aims to test ixekizumab, a monoclonal antibody (mAb) against interleukin 17A (IL-17A), in patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD).
Adolescent depression is a prevalent and impairing condition that can be effectively treated with Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). However, a majority of adolescents do not have access to CBT. Internet-delivered CBT (ICBT) has been suggested as a way to increase availability to effective psychological treatments. Yet, the research on ICBT for adolescents has been lagging behind significantly. The overall aim of this research project is to increase the availability of evidence-based psychological treatments for adolescents with depression by developing and evaluating internet-delivered Cognitive Behavior Therapy (ICBT) for this target group. The main objectives are to establish the efficacy, cost-effectiveness, and long-term effects of the guided and self-guided ICBT for adolescents with mild to moderate depression in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with three-arms; guided ICBT (with therapist-support) and self-guided ICBT (without therapist-support) vs treatment as usual (TAU).
The purpose of this study is to determine if Liposom Forte will enhance the response to antidepressant therapy with citalopram in elderly patients suffering from Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).
One-third of the patients with major depressive disorder do not respond to conventional antidepressants that act through the mono-aminergic system. The available treatment modalities, including SSRIs, are slow to act and have a lag time before showing improvement in symptoms of patients. To overcome these treatment hurdles, add-on therapy to standard antidepressant drugs may lead to better therapeutic outcomes. Sarcosine, which is a nutraceutical, modulates glutamate neurotransmission has an ameliorative effect on the disease symptoms of depression and negative symptoms of schizophrenia. The only clinical study done on depressive patients by Huang et al. cannot be generalized due to certain inherent limitations. To date, there is no randomized controlled trial with add-on sarcosine to current antidepressant therapy to the best of our knowledge. So, we considered sarcosine can be the candidate drug for add-on therapy due to its multiple mechanisms on the glutaminergic system. Adding sarcosine to ongoing antidepressant therapy may either increase their response rate or decrease adverse drug reactions by decreasing the dose requirement or may show a quicker therapeutic effect. Hence, the present randomized controlled trial has been planned to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sarcosine as add-on therapy in major depressive disorder.
