Major Depressive Disorder Clinical Trial
Official title:
Efficacy and Safety of Intradermal Acupuncture for Major Depressive Disorder: a Study Protocol for a Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common mental illness that severely affects the health and quality of life of patients. Treatment with acupuncture alone or a combination of appropriate adjuncts has been reported to be significantly effective in reducing the severity of MDD, relieving patients' somatic symptoms and improving sleep. This study will focus on the intradermal acupuncture, which is more convenient, gentler and has longer lasting effects. The aim is to study the efficacy and safety of intradermal acupuncture for MDD, and to preliminarily explore the central nervous mechanisms by which it exerts its therapeutic effects.
A total of 90 patients with MDD who meet the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. Participants will be randomly assigned 1:1:1 to the waiting list group (patients in this group will be treated with selective 5-hydroxytryptamine reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) only), sham intradermal acupuncture combined with SSRIs (SIA) group and active intradermal acupuncture combined with SSRIs (AIA) group. The study will assess the efficacy and safety of intradermal acupuncture for MDD and examine whether intradermal acupuncture reduces side effects and improves the efficacy of SSRIs for MDD. In addition, the study will use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to study the possible central mechanisms by which intradermal acupuncture exerts its antidepressant effects. ;
