Filter by:This is a randomized, controlled clinical trial to assess the effects of the ketogenic diet in combination with treatment as usual on brain energy metabolism and psychiatric symptoms in individuals with first episode bipolar disorder and schizoaffective disorder.
Risperidone is widely used in the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and aggression associated with moderate or severe Alzheimer's dementia. In vitro studies have shown that constituents of tea and cola beverages can result in insoluble complex formation with risperidone, potentially reducing risperidone oral absorption. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of tea and cola beverage on the pharmacokinetics of risperidone oral solution. In an open three-phase, randomized, crossover study with 12 healthy volunteers, the subjects will receive a 1 mg dose of risperidone oral solution with either water, tea or cola beverage. Blood samples will be collected and risperidone's pharmacokinetics will be monitored up to 48 hours postdose. Primary endpoint is area under the plasma concentration-time curve of risperidone. Recruitment starting date is December 4, 2023.
The project aims to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of a blended face-to-face and smartphone intervention for distressing thoughts and experiences in people with schizophrenia spectrum disorders. A secondary aim is to assess the outcomes of the intervention at baseline (T0) and post-intervention (T1) (single-arm feasibility design). The study design is primarily based on Bell et al.'s (2018, 2020) blended face-to-face and smartphone intervention for hallucinations. The participants receive four face-to-face therapy sessions, using a smartphone between sessions employing elements of Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) and Intervention (EMI).
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of nutritional counseling versus no treatment in patients with schizophenia or bipolar affective disorder. The main question it aims to answer are: • Can nutritional counseling have a preventive effect on the development of cardiovascular disease in patients with schizophenia or bipolar affective disorder? Participants will meet a nutritionist at baseline to asess nutritional status, biochemical and anthropometric measurements. Then, half of the study population will receive nutritional counseling. After six weeks, the same baseline measurements will be repeated to examine any potential differences between the two groups. After the intervention, the control group will be offered the same counseling as the intervention group received during the study.
This study presents the development and validation of a unique Digital Experience Sampling Method (ESM) questionnaire specifically adapted for monitoring changes in the mental state of patients during psychiatric hospitalization. The questionnaire was carefully crafted through focus groups involving patients and clinical staff, ensuring its relevance and applicability to the unique characteristics of mental state changes in a hospitalization setting. To evaluate the validity of the ESM questionnaire, symptom severity trends obtained from the questionnaire will be compared with estimates derived from the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) assessment. Data will be collected from 100 subjects over a 14-day psychiatric hospitalization period. In addition to the ESM questionnaire, smartwatch sensors will monitor physiological indicators. Feasibility and patient compliance will be assessed by examining patients' willingness to use the digital ESM questionnaires and the smartwatch sensors. The study will also cross-reference self-reported sleep quality and activity levels captured in the ESM questionnaires with objective physiological indicators and nursing staff reports, providing insights into the reliability of the patient-reported data. Furthermore, the study will evaluate the impact of the ESM data on clinical decision-making by physicians throughout the 14-day psychiatric hospitalization period. Patient satisfaction and satisfaction among the multidisciplinary team with the monitoring model will also be assessed. This research underscores the potential of digital technologies to enhance patient-centered care and facilitate informed treatment decisions in psychiatric hospitalization settings.
Evaluation effectiveness and safety of TMS in subjects with catatonia
The main question this study is trying to answer is whether lumateperone, an FDA-approved antipsychotic drug, can help reduce possible side effects of clozapine, such as weight gain and elevated levels of sugar and bad cholesterol. Participants will be randomly assigned to either take lumateperone (Caplyta) or a placebo for 12 weeks, in addition to their regularly prescribed clozapine. During their participation, patients will answer questions about their psychiatric and daily functioning, have blood drawn, and have their body composition analyzed (similar to stepping on a scale).
This is a master protocol for 3 independent, seamlessly enrolling, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group studies in patients with ADP - Substudy 1 (Phase 2) will evaluate efficacy and dose response of ACP-204 30 and 60 mg vs placebo. This substudy will be initiated first. - Substudies 2A and 2B (both: Phase 3) will be confirmatory studies of either both doses (ACP-204 30 and 60 mg, respectively) or a single dose from Part 1 vs placebo. Substudies 2A and 2B will be performed independently of each other and will commence after enrollment of Part 1. All 3 substudies will be analyzed independently of each other. Each substudy individually will consist of a screening period (up to 42 days); a double-blind treatment period (6 weeks); a safety follow-up period (30 days) for patients not rolling over into an open-label extension study; and vital status follow-up (for patients who terminated their substudy early).
The goal of this research project is to develop MRI-based biomarkers to identify patients with schizophrenia who are most likely to benefit from first-line antipsychotic or clozapine treatment. The MRI sequences (NM-MRI, MRS and rsfMRI) will be created by translating the best scientific evidence into a potential clinical product that has the highest chance of being clinically relevant predictor of treatment response. This study has the potential to significantly improve patient outcomes and reduce unnecessary interventions and costs at the Royal's Integrated Schizophrenia Recovery Program.
The prevalence of mental disorders and developmental behavioral disorders (such as depressive disorders,anxiety disorders, autism spectrum disorders,attention deficit disorder,ect.)among children and adolescents in China is increasing,leading to difficulty in early identification of children and poor diagnosis and treatment effects,which brings significant financial burden to the families and the country.We will carry out a multi-center epidemiological survey on common mental disorders above among children and adolescents in Sichuan-Chongqing region and clarify the prevalence,geographical distribution and demographic characteristics.A total of more than 12,000 children and adolescents under 18 years old with a diagnosis of depression/anxiety disorders/ASD/ADHD based on DSM-5 criteria is included to build a research platform and database,so that we will formulate intelligence diagnosis and treatment standards.This study will establish the "Children and Adolescents Mental and Developmental Disabilities Innovation Alliance" in Sichuan and Chongqing areas and finally build intelligent early warning,diagnosis and intervention systems for disease in hope that technology transformation to be promoted and applied.
