A multicenter, 8-week study to evaluate the efficacy of 2 doses (50 and 100 mg/day) of desvenlafaxine succinate sustained-release (DVS SR) versus placebo in adult outpatients with major depressive disorder.
This pilot study seeks to replicate previous findings that sleep deprivation results in marked improvement in depression symptoms, as well as to test whether concurrent treatment with Light Therapy and Lithium are successful in locking in and maintaining therapeutic effects in both bipolar and unipolar depressed subjects.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of a Deep Shaped-Field repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (DSF-rTMS) system in the treatment of depression.
Poor adherence is a common reason for treatment failure in many fields of medicine, and likely affects common psychiatric treatments as well. Members of the present study team have used Medication Event Monitoring System (MEMS®) caps effectively to objectively monitor adherence in skin disease, and have shown that they provide a much more accurate measure of adherence behavior than self-reports, pill counts, or serum drug concentrations. The present study will use MEMS® caps to measure adherence in 10 patients with depression and 10 patients with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) from a student clinic population. The aims will be to show the usefulness of MEMS® caps in measuring adherence to psychiatric treatment, and gather data on typical adherence rates for depression and ADHD patients on typical treatment regimens. The data obtained will be used to inform future studies that use an intervention to improve adherence behavior and ultimately disease outcomes.
This study seeks to investigate whether tranylcypromine (Parnate®) might be an effective treatment of bipolar depression. New treatments are needed, as there is little evidence that standard antidepressants are effective in treating this condition, and the two antipsychotic medications that have indications for bipolar depression can cause substantial side effects. This study will focus specifically on currently depressed outpatients having a bipolar history for whom at least one standard antidepressant medication was ineffective. Patients will be treated openly with tranylcypromine for 8-10 months, depending on treatment response.
The study aims to evaluate effectiveness and tolerability of aripiprazole augmentation in outpatients with major depressive disorder who have had inadequate response to antidepressants in Taiwan clinical practice.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether minocycline and aspirin are effective in the treatment of depression in individuals with bipolar disorder.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of tDCS applied at the anodic left DLPFC of patients with resistant depression compared to patients treated with conventional therapy. The tDCS is used in add-on drug treatment with antidepressants of reference in resistant depression.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an 8-week double-masked treatment of tasimelteon or placebo in male and female subjects with Major Depressive Disorder.
