Filter by:The purpose of the current study was to examine Brief Behavioral Activation Treatment for Depressions (BATD) effectiveness, credibility, and acceptability with moderate to severly depressed inpatients. The study is a systematic replication of a randomized controlled trail from 2003, that provided initial support for BATD With inpatients. The current study compared BATD to Treatment as Usual in a randomized controlled trial.
Evaluating the efficacy of vortioxetine 10 mg/day and 20 mg/day versus placebo on depressive symptoms in adolescents (age ≥12 and ≤17 years) with a DSM-5™ (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition) diagnosis of Major depressive disorder (MDD).
A randomized double-blind placebo controlled study of reduced B vitamins in patients with major depression who were positive for one or both of the common MTHFR polymorphisms was conducted between 8/1/2014 and 4/3/2015. Homocysteine levels and MADRS scores were used as primary measures. The study was designed to test safety and efficacy of reduced B vitamins in MDD associated with MTHFR. This study examines the data from the trial to see effects, effect sizes, and further, if demographic factors and other patient characteristics correlated with findings.
Investigation of the efficacy and safety of a new potential treatment of Major depressive disorder (MDD) in paediatric participants (age 7 to 11 years).
The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical efficacy of augmenting cognitive-behavioral therapy with real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging neurofeedback (rtfMRI-nf) training to increase the amygdala's response to positive autobiographical memories.
The purpose of this study is to: 1. test the effect of a smartphone enhanced LETS ACT (LETS ACT-SE) on frequency of substance use 2. use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to test the relationship between neuromarkers of reward sensitivity on frequency of substance use.
Bipolar disorder is a leading cause of disability worldwide. A high proportion of patients with bipolar disorder experience persistent depressive symptoms that do not respond to standard drug treatments. Recent evidence has suggested that anti-inflammatory treatment may reduce depressive symptoms. Minocycline is a tetracycline antibiotic with good central nervous system (CNS) penetration that has been suggested to be effective as an adjunct drug in improving depressive symptoms. Celecoxib, a selective cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) inhibitor, has also shown promising results in the treatment of depressive symptoms. In this factorial design, double blind, randomised controlled trial the investigators will determine the efficacy of minocycline and/or celecoxib as an adjunct to treatment as usual (TAU) in patients experiencing a depressive phase of bipolar I or II disorder. The investigators hypothesise that augmentation with minocycline and/or celecoxib will lead to an improvement in depressive symptoms in participants in comparison with placebo.
Computer-assisted cognitive-behavior therapy, a treatment that has been shown to be effective in previous studies in psychiatric settings, will be disseminated into primary care - a health care setting where there are significant problems in receiving adequate treatment for depression. Computer-assisted cognitive-behavior therapy will feature a low-cost method of delivering therapy designed to be replicated and sustained in other primary care settings. Feasibility and effectiveness will be tested by randomly assigning 320 primary care patients with depression to receive either computer-assisted cognitive-behavior therapy or treatment as usual.
Bupropion is used in psychological disorder mainly in major depressive disorder (MDD). In China, buproprion Immediate Release (IR) and Sustained Release (SR) tablet have been in market for the treatment of MDD. Bupropion Hydrochloride (HCl) Extended Release (XL) tablets formulation is proposed for marketing approval in China for same indication. Therefore, a pharmacokinetic study is planned to be conducted in Chinese subjects. It is an open label, single-centre and single cycle study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of 150 milligram (mg) and 300 mg following single and repeated daily doses. Approximately 16 males and females Chinese healthy subjects will be enrolled into the study to get 12 completed subjects.
This is a longitudinal observational study (via electronic records and biospecimens) designed to utilize health IT advances to collect information from patients undergoing routine care. This information will be stored in a database. Patients undergoing routine care from their providers will be invited to participate in the UTSW Depression Cohort. After obtaining informed consent, the CDRCC team will collect information from available sources and store it in a secure UT Southwestern network database protected by a security firewall. A schematic representation of this information processing is shown in the figure contained in section 3 of the protocol. As part of the UTSW Depression Cohort, patients will allow banking of their specimens. Specimens which are banked may include blood or blood products, urine, tissue samples, saliva, stool samples or clinical waste products. The study will only enroll participants comfortable with providing specimens. As the goal of the UTSW Depression Cohort is to create a national database, CDRCC will engage with patients, providers, and researchers at local, regional, and national levels. A large number of medical providers are already screening patients for depression. Structured instruments like PHQ-2 or PHQ-9 are often used. Hence, the CDRCC will seek collaborations with local, regional and national partners so that information contained in their health IT initiatives can be included in the this database. Due to the clinical nature of information collected, the investigators anticipate marked heterogeneity in the variables and amount of data collected. Database architects will utilize big data (large volumes of information from diverse sources with variable degrees of quality and complexity) tools to structure the registry so that additional variables can be added, as needed. The CDRCC team will maintain a detailed codebook of variables collected in the database. All statistical analyses will be conducted only on de-identified data. Researchers may obtain access to this de-identified data by following procedures established by the CDRCC, which include obtaining IRB approval.
