Filter by:The purpose of this study is to investigate the short-term effects of mindfulness-based training in individuals suffering from major depressive disorder (MDD) as assessed by clinical interviewing, self-report assessment, cognitive evaluation and eye-tracking task.
Cilostazol is a PDE 3 inhibitor, which showed as decrease in HAM-D scores in post-stroke depression through inhibition of neurodegeneration in the primary lesion and secondary extrafocal sites and through promotion of neurogenesis. These beneficial effects on post-stroke depression may be involved in activation of CREB/BDNF signaling.The aim of the current study is to evaluate the potential adjunct antidepressant effect of cilostazol in adult patients with MDD. Furthermore, we will assess the relationship between HAM-D score and BDNF as well as their role as a therapeutic targets of MDD.
This study is a waitlist control trial evaluating the acceptability and preliminary efficacy of a smartphone application with people with mental illness.
Develop a NIRSIT testing protocol that can be administered in the diagnostic setting and reliably distinguishes the symptoms and severity of depression, with the help of repeated measure (up to five visits per subject) comparison of patients being treated for Major Depressive Disorder with control, non-depressed subjects.
The primary goal of this project was to examine the antidepressant effects of yoga as an alternative treatment for depression as compared to no treatment and aerobic exercise. The secondary goal of this project was to examine relevant physiological (i.e., heart rate, blood pressure, cortisol levels) and psychological variables (i.e., perceived hassles, rumination, mindfulness) that may underlie the antidepressant effects of Bikram yoga and aerobic exercise.
Synopsis Aim: The purpose of the study is to determine the stimulus of electrical current during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) that produces the optimal balance between antidepressant effect and memory disturbance. Specifically, this study aims to compare the 0.5 ms and 1.0 ms pulse width stimuli. Design: National, register-based randomized trial, unmasked with two treatment arms. Primary objective: To test the hypothesis that a 1.0 ms pulse width stimulus produces a higher remission rate (< 11 on the MADRS-S) than a 0.5ms pulse width stimulus. Secondary objectives include testing for differences in: self-rated global health measured with the EQ5D-VAS subjective memory worsening (increase of 2 on the memory item of the CPRS) antidepressive response (decrease of 50% on the MADRS-S) number of ECTs in the treatment series readmission and suicide rate within 6 months Study population: patients with unipolar or bipolar depression. Sample size: 800 patients, 400 patients in each arm. Inclusion criteria: At least 18 years of age at the time of inclusion Diagnostic criteria fulfilled for unipolar, or bipolar depressive episode according to ICD-10. An indication for and accepting ECT A Swedish personal identity number. Capable of giving informed consent. Exclusion criteria: If the investigator judges a certain pulse width to be inappropriate for the patient. Inclusion time 2019-05-01-2022-11-15. Abbreviations 1.

The investigators investigated the effects of high frequency (10Hz) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the symptoms and cognitive functioning in patients with psychiatric disorders
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a treatment for depression. The investigators are continuing to learn how to optimize outcomes from rTMS treatment. The purpose of this research project is to use brain network connectivity patterns as measured by resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to confirm a way to optimize the use of rTMS to treat depression. In addition, the study aims to gain a better understanding of how rTMS influences brain networks.
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of monthly 225 mg sc fremanezumab in adult participants with migraine and major depressive disorder (MDD) The secondary objectives are to evaluate the efficacy of monthly 225 mg sc of fremanezumab in adult participants with migraine and MDD on the reduction of MDD symptoms, responder rates in monthly migraine days, improving quality of life, improving disability, and the safety and tolerability of monthly 225 mg sc and quarterly 675 mg sc fremanezumab in adult participants with migraine and MDD. The total duration of participant participation in the study is planned to be approximately 28 weeks.
This study will analyze the feasibility, safety, and tolerability of administering repetitive Transcranial magnetic stimulation(TMS) at frequencies other than standard 10 Hz. This study will enroll 10 subjects who will undergo one quantitative electroencephalograph, one TMS procedure to determine the appropriate frequency and intensity for treatment, weekly mood/symptom assessments, and up to 30 TMS treatments. Subjects will be asked to participate for up to 6 weeks.
