Filter by:In the proposed study, the investigators will examine the efficacy of transdiagnostic, Internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) in the treatment of postpartum anxiety and depression. Half of participants will receive the treatment immediately, and half of the participants will be assigned to a treatment-as-usual control condition. Participants assigned to the control condition will be offered the treatment after a 12-week waiting period, although data from this portion will not be included in the current study. All participants will complete questionnaires prior to the start of the treatment, following treatment (or corresponding 8-week waiting period), at 1-months follow-up (or corresponding 12-week waiting period), and at 6-months follow-up (in those assigned to the treatment condition). Further, those who receive the treatment will complete questionnaires on a weekly basis. The primary outcome measures include anxiety and depression. As part of the battery of questionnaires administered after the completion of the program, participants will be asked to rate the program content, the overall service, and their satisfaction with the program.
Postpartum depression is a non-psychotic major or minor depressive episode that occurs during pregnancy or within 12 months of post-partum period. The nature of symptoms is same as depressive episode characterized by depressed mood, anxiety, sleep difficulties, suicidal thoughts, tiredness and diminished interest in pleasurable activities. Severe maternal depression affects children by increasing the risk of emotional and behavioral and physical health problems and cognitive difficulties. Thus early screening and intervention is critical in reducing the negative impact of PND in the mother and child, family and the community. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics and antidepressant efficacy of sub-anesthetic dose of intravenous ketamine in perinatal depression.
To evaluate the clinical efficacy of online cognitive behavioural therapy supplemented with online neurocognitive remediation therapy to improve mood and cognition, decrease relapse rates and optimise work and occupational functioning.
Treatment resistant depression (TRD) is a major global health concern, and there is a crucial need to develop novel effective treatments. The medial forebrain bundle (MFB) is a recently described DBS target, with reported rapid onset of antidepressant effects. A recent small randomized trial reported a 100% response rate. The subcallosal cingulate cortex (SCC) is the most commonly used target in DBS for depression. Herein, the investigators will conduct a sham-controlled randomized trial of DBS to the MFB or SCC for TRD.
The aim of this study was to compare the depression and sleep disturbances of operated endometriosis patients before and after the operation. The main objective here is to provide data on how patients' psychological states and sleep patterns are affected by the symptoms of endometriosis and how these effects can be corrected. In this way, it is aimed to determine whether the patients have psychological support needs and to give the planned treatment due to endometriosis in the early period. As a secondary goal, it is planned to keep the patients in follow-up with their improved sleep and psychological conditions, and to improve their adherence to treatment and quality of life.
The objective of this trial is to collect data on the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of internet delivered Cognitive Beaviour Therapy (iCBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (iACT) interventions tailored towards the treatment of depression and chronic pain using a doubly-randomized, attention-controlled, non-blinded, patient-preference design.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether cognitive function evaluation (sustained attention, executive functions, working memory) during acute post-stroke is predictive of a 3 months post-stroke depression.
The aim of this study is to analyze the feasibility of a blended transdiagnostic group protocol for the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders (emotional disorders) in a one-group clinical trial.
This is a study with an Open-Label (OL) phase followed by a randomized, Double-Blind (DB), placebo-controlled phase to assess efficacy and safety of SAGE-217 on relapse prevention in adults with major depressive disorder (MDD).
Background: MDD is a common mental disorder with significant morbidities and mortalities. Recent local data suggested that depressive disorders have a prevalence of over 12% in females and nearly 7 % in males in Hong Kong general adult population. Other than insomnia, patients with MDD often complained another sleep symptom - hypersomnia (defined as daytime sleepiness or excessive sleep). Interestingly, when compared to insomnia, there is much far less research on the role of hypersomnia in MDD. However, there are available data suggested that hypersomnia is associated with greater treatment-resistance, more recurrence, and increased suicidality, suggesting a need to investigate this problem in MDD patients. Objective: To investigate the prevalence and determine characteristics of hypersomnia amongst major depressive disorder. Design: 2-phase study design Setting: A case-control study Participants: Patients with a history of Major Depressive Disorder from out-patient clinics in New Territories East Cluster. Main outcome measures: Daytime sleepiness measured by MSLT, actigraphy and self-reported questionnaire (ESS), sleep duration as measured by sleep diary and actigraphy.
