Filter by:This is a retrospective chart review study to determine if Deplin® 7.5mg-15mg combined with an antidepressant is better than an antidepressant alone in adults with major depression.
The purpose of this study is to find out if 60 mg of duloxetine given once a day by mouth for 8 weeks to patients diagnosed with major depressive disorder, who also report associated painful physical symptoms, is better than placebo when treating depression and its associated painful symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to determine the usefulness of a stress reduction treatment in helping minority patients with major depression get better. Subjects will receive six weeks of either mindfulness-based stress reduction and problem solving therapy or psychoeducation.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of neurocognitive enhancement on cognitive abilities and related social and adaptive behaviours in individuals diagnosed with major depressive disorder. Subjects in this study will be randomized to receive Neurocognitive Enhancement Therapy (NET) or to a wait list and then NET . Secondary aims include examining whether the cognitive benefits are potentiated by repeated exposure during in-home practice with complementary exercises. Additionally, the investigators will examine the durability of the effects and their generalization to functional capacity and everyday functional performance after completion of the groups.
To evaluate the efficacy of SPD489 for the treatment of executive function impairments (EFI) when used as an adjunct to stable, standard therapy in the setting of partial or full remission from recurrent Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) as measured by the Global Executive Composite (GEC) T-score of the Behavioral Rating Inventory of Executive Functioning - Adult Version (BRIEF-A).
The purpose of this study is to provide a comparison of the apathy, depression, and functional outcomes associated with switching to duloxetine or escitalopram in patients who have previously responded to treatment with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) for major depressive disorder and who have residual apathy in the absence of depressed mood.
Major depressive disorder is a complex disease and most currently available antidepressants aiming at monoamine neurotransmission exhibit limited efficacy and cognitive effects. N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), one subtype of glutamate receptors, plays an important role in learning and memory. N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) enhancing agents, such as sarcosine (N-methylglycine), have been used as adjunctive therapy of schizophrenia. Sarcosine improved not only psychotic but also depressive symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. To confirm its antidepressant effect, the purpose of this study is to compare citalopram and sarcosine in efficacy for major depressive patients.
This two-center, between-subject, randomized, double-masked study (n=20) will provide the first evidence for the antidepressant efficacy of Magnetic Seizure Therapy (MST) and contrast the therapeutic properties and side effects of two forms of MST in patients in a major depressive episode (MDE).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of Levomilnacipran ER fixed doses versus placebo in the treatment of outpatients with major depressive disorder.
