Filter by:Ketamine infusions resulted in an acute reduction in global depression scores and in severity of suicidal ideation. Scopolamine infusions produced also a significant improvement in depression that was sustained over time. We therefore plan to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of open-label repeated intravenous administration of ketamine and scopolamine combined in this population of severely depressed, treatment-resistant patients. The results from this study could lead to the development of new strategies for the treatment of patients with TRD.
The purpose of this pilot-study is to evaluate a cognitive behavioral method "Psychological First Aid" used with a group of children (11-16 years) in high risk of developing psychological problems. Participants are recruited from a low-threshold program ("The Children's House in Oslo") where counseling is given to children suspected of being physically or sexually abused, or having witnessed domestic violence. The study includes twelve children and teenagers that receive 2 to 6 sessions of counseling. Psychological problems (e.g. anxiety, depression, reactions to trauma) and quality of life will be assessed at pre- post and follow-up (after 3, 6 and 12 months). In addition, some symptoms of will be assessed daily.
The main aim of this study is to (1) evaluate the effectiveness of metacognitive therapy for major depressive disorder. Additional aims are to (2) investigate patterns of change and the mechanisms of action involved during treatment, and to (3) examine the impact of meta-cognitions in the treatment and relapse prevention of depression.
The purpose of this study is to assess and compare the effects of 3 dose strengths of TBS-2 intranasal testosterone gel to placebo on the occurrence of orgasm.
This is a multicenter retrospective study to investigate the dosage regimens of sertraline in the treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) under current medical practice and the efficacy and safety of this drug in patients with PTSD. Data will be collected from the medical records of patients with PTSD.
This study is conducted in Japan. The aim of this study is to collect information about the efficacy and safety of Norditropin® (somatropin) in the long-term treatment of short stature with GHD (Growth Hormone Deficiency) where epiphysial discs are not closed and short stature with Turner Syndrome where epiphysial discs are not closed.
Negative symptoms and cognitive deficits are two partially-related features of schizophrenia which have a major negative impact on social function and objective quality of life. Standard drug treatments have little impact on either and arguably no effect on primary negative symptoms. Social dysfunction has major economic consequences in both the developed and developing world. There is evidence that anti-inflammatory treatment may have beneficial effects in patients with schizophrenia.
Researchers at Arkansas Children's Hospital Research Institute are conducting a study looking at the effects of Folinic Acid on language in Autism Spectrum Disorder and language impairment. The study has 3 phases. Phase 1 confirms that your child has language impairment (there is no compensation for this visit). If language impairment is verified in the phase 1 screening, then your child will be eligible for phase 2. Phase 2 consists of receiving 12 weeks of folinic acid or an inactive placebo, in addition to several evaluations of your child's abilities and a single blood test. Children that complete phase 2 will be eligible for a 12 week open-label trial of folinic acid which is phase 3.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of HQK-1001 on Hb F in subjects with sickle cell disease.
The purpose of this study is to see if creatine, which is a naturally occurring chemical in the body, is effective for treating Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in female teenagers. The primary hypothesis is that compared to placebo, 2g, 4g, and 10g of creatine monohydrate for eight weeks will be associated with a significant increase in brain phosphocreatine (PCr) concentrations.
