Filter by:We plan to conduct a randomized controlled trial to examine whether usual rehabilitation plus an iPad application-based intervention improves post-stroke depression symptoms compared to usual rehabilitation alone. The purpose of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to investigate the feasibility of the final randomized controlled trial.
The investigators aim to explore the relationship between gut microbiota composition and earlier poststroke depression via 16S rRNA sequencing.
This study will investigate whether administration of a single dose of the serotonin receptor subtype 4 (5-HT4) partial agonist prucalopride has effects on emotional processing and non-emotional cognition in healthy volunteers, compared to placebo administration. Using an experimental medicine approach, the effects of prucalopride on cognitive biomarkers of antidepressant action will be characterised. In a double-blind design, participants will be randomised to receive a single dose of either prucalopride (1mg) or placebo. All participants will come for a Screening Visit to ensure their suitability for the study. If they meet study criteria, they will be invited to a Research Visit, where they will receive the study medication and wait for two hours while the drug reaches peak levels. After two hours they will be asked to complete a series of computer-based tasks measuring emotional, non-emotional cognitive processing, and reward processing. The primary study hypothesis is that acute prucalopride administration will have positive effects on processing facial expressions of emotion. Secondary hypotheses are that acute prucalopride administration will affect other measures of emotional processing, and non-emotional cognition.
This was an observational study aimed to screen patients with cardiovascular disease for depression in Trinidad and Tobago in a tertiary center and to determine if there is a significant association between patients with symptoms of depression and other comorbidities. Patients (N=1203) were randomly selected from the outpatient cardiology clinics at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex. After fulfilling the inclusion criteria and informed consent were obtained, they were given the case report form which included the Patient Health Questionnaire 9.
This study evaluates whether ketamine, given as part of an anesthetic, improves depression symptoms in depressed patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. Half of participants will receive a ketamine infusion during surgery, while the other half will receive a placebo (normal saline) during surgery.
This study will evaluate whether a newer treatment, rumination-focused cognitive behavioral treatment, which includes mindfulness and can be used to reduce ruminative habits, change ways in which key brain regions interact with each other (e.g.., often called connectivity), and whether these changes in habits and brain connectivity can reduce the risk for recurrence of depression in the next two years.
The study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 450 milligrams (mg) of Rapastinel, compared to 10 mg of Vortixetine and placebo in participants with major depressive disorder (MDD).
The purpose of this study is to identify cognitive mechanisms that might facilitate treatment response for individuals experiencing depression and/or anxiety. The Stress, Anxiety, and Mood group helps individuals experiencing symptoms of stress, anxiety, and mood by providing concrete coping skills to regulate emotions, to let go of negative thoughts, and build courage to talk to others about tough topics. Groups meet for 8 weeks, with sessions lasting 90 minutes each. In addition to group therapy, you will be asked to complete some computerized and paper and pencil-based tasks.

To assess the effect of a single dose of BI 1358894 compared to placebo on BOLD responses in modulating brain processing of emotional and cognitive stimuli on the amygdala and related brain structure using fMRI in in unmedicated patients with depression.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of treating participants with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) who have failed at least 2 (and no more than 6) prior antidepressant (AD) treatments in the current moderate to severe depressive episode with flexibly-dosed esketamine nasal spray plus a newly initiated oral standard-of-care AD compared with placebo nasal spray plus a newly-initiated standard-of-care oral AD, in achieving remission and staying relapse-free after remission.
