Filter by:There is a relationship between depression and periodontal disease. This relationship may be double-sided. A psychological state such as anxiety, depression, body image, and self-esteem may be affected from the symptoms of periodontal disease.
The safety and effectiveness of the BrainsWay deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (DTMS) device for the intended use of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) using the intermittent theta-burst (iTBS) stimulation protocol will be evaluated in a non-inferiority study, comparing the iTBS treatment with the FDA cleared, (510(k) No. K122288) Brainsway DTMS device to the High Frequency (HF) protocol using the same device.
The R61 will be an open trial to determine if Positive Processes and Transition to Health (PATH) engages the proposed targets: unproductive processing, avoidance, and reward deficits in a sample of 45 adults who have experienced a destabilizing life event involving profound loss or threat, report persistent stressor-related symptoms of PTSD and/or depression, and are elevated on symptoms related to 2 of the 3 therapeutic targets. Additionally, will examine whether patients perceive PATH as helpful and complete/adhere to treatment, and therapist fidelity. Patients will receive 6 sessions of PATH (with 2 boosters, if partial responders). Primary targets will be assessed at pre-treatment, week 4, post-treatment, and at 1- and 3-month follow-up; secondary targets at pre-treatment, weekly during treatment, post-treatment, and at 1- and 3-month follow-ups.
The purpose of this study is to compare two psychological treatments for major depressive disorder (MDD): cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and CBT-Skill Enhanced (CBT-SE). CBT is well-studied, research-supported treatment for depression. CBT-SE is a variant of CBT that places greater focus on helping clients to developing the skills of CBT. The study will enroll 150 participants with MDD. Participants will be randomized to CBT or CBT-SE, with 75 participants being assigned to each condition. For both conditions, treatment will be provided over 12 weeks, with a 6 month follow-up period. Potential participants are asked to complete an initial screening and an intake evaluation to determine eligibility. After entering the study, participants are asked to complete evaluations at 4 weeks and at 12 weeks. They are also asked to respond to self-report instruments before and after each session. Following the 12 week treatment, participants are asked to complete monthly follow-up surveys for 6 months. The primary objectives of this study are three-fold. The first is to compare the outcomes of the two treatments. The second is to evaluate potential mediators of any treatment differences. The third is to evaluate the process of change in these two versions of CBT.
SPL026 (N,N-dimethyltryptamine [DMT] fumarate) is a psychedelic tryptamine being developed as a therapy for patients with major depressive disorder (MDD).
BRITEPath (BP) aims to support co-located mental health clinicians in the development of a high quality, effective, and personalized safety plan for referred patients who screen positive for depression and/or suicidal ideation. BRITEPath utilizes BRITE, a safety planning and emotion regulation app that is loaded on the patient's smart phone and has previously been shown to be well accepted and to reduce suicide attempts compared to usual care in psychiatric inpatients (HR = 0.49). To support mental health clinicians in the development of effective safety plans, study investigators will develop Guide2Brite (G2B), which provides step-by-step instructions for the mental health clinician on how to populate BRITE onto the patient's smartphone and BRITEBoard, a clinician dashboard that tracks patient symptoms, app use, and rating on helpfulness of different interventions assessed through BRITE.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of SLS-002 (intranasal racemic ketamine) in addition to standard of care on symptoms of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and suicidality, in participants who are assessed to be at imminent risk for suicide, as measured by the change from baseline on the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score at 24 hours post first dose.
The trial is to evaluate the effect of an evidence-informed, depression focused early prenatal prevention intervention at six weeks' postpartum. Secondary objective is to explore demographical and psychosocial factors responsible for development of prenatal and postpartum depression. Investigator will also examine the potential mediators of depression and the effect of intervention on depression and its related factors i.e. marital relationship, social support, empowerment and history of intimate partner violence. Pregnant women coming for their antenatal visits to the Sheikh Zayed Hospital (SZH), a public facility in Lahore, Pakistan, will be screened for eligibility. Eligible women will be 24-26 weeks pregnancy who will be assessed as having mild to moderate levels of depression [i.e., score ≥10 on Personal Health Care Questionnaire (PHQ-9)] validated in Pakistan for the use of non-specialist.
The Electro-Convulsion-Therapy (ECT) is a well accepted treatment option in severe depression. The quality of ECT is evaluated basing on minimal seizure duration (>15sec), the sympathic response and the postictal EEG-suppression. - Page 1 of 3 - For the treatment general anaesthesia is needed. On the other hand anaesthesia strongly influences the quality of the seizure. Standard treatment is to use Anaesthesia to intervention time (ASTI) of 1 to 2 minutes for ideal timing of the electric stimulation. The aim of the study is to assess if timing of electric stimulation aiming for ar an anaesthesia depth of Narcotrend values 41-64 may provide better convulsion quality than standard approach of using ASTI 1-2 minutes.
This study will determine the safety and potential effectiveness of a digital health platform aimed at improving treatment outcomes for patients with depression by assisting physicians with clinical decision making about depression treatment.
