Filter by:The primary goal of this study is to examine the triglyceride/HDL ratio and the ischemic EKG changes in patients with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder or bipolar disorder.
To determine if adding Escitalopram to current mood stabilizer (MS) or atypical antipsychotic (AA) will improve in rates similar to or better than adding a placebo (inactive pill)in resistant bipolar patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine if sleep deprivation and sleep phase advancement is effective treatment of bipolar patients in a depressive phase.
Individuals with bipolar depression who had a particular kind of brain imaging reported improved mood after the imaging. This effect may be linked to the changing magnetic fields used during these magnetic resonance imaging studies. The current studies are designed to further explore the important parameters of this effect and to clarify the degree and duration of the mood effects.
Inpatient Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Open-Label Olanzapine Monotherapy in Treatment Refractory Bipolar Mania: This study recruits adult subjects who are diagnosed with Bipolar I Disorder and presently experiencing an episode of mania. Patients must be willing to spend initial 7 days in the hospital to observe response to medication. Patients must be refractory (intolerant or non-responsive) to treatment with lithium and valproate or carbamazepine. Patients receive study-related care at no cost. This study is sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company.
This study will examine the safety and effectiveness of the antipsychotic drug olanzapine in children and adolescents with bipolar disorder or psychosis.
This is an 8-week open label study of bupropion SR in the treatment of youth with bipolar depression with adequate mood stabilization. All youth will be closely monitored for treatment emergent manic activation and drug-drug interactions with ongoing antimanic agents. The main objective of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of bupropion SR in the treatment of bipolar depression in children and adolescents.
The primary purpose is to investigate whether the addition of sodium valproate will be superior to treatment with quetiapine (Seroquel) given as monotherapy for an additional 14 days in non-responding patients after a 14 day initial treatment period with quetiapine. PLEASE NOTE: Seroquel SR and Seroquel XR refer to the same formulation. The SR designation was changed to XR after consultation with FDA.
The purpose of the trial was to determine whether a 36-ingredient micronutrient supplement (primarily vitamins and minerals) is beneficial for the treatment of bipolar disorder, when studied under randomized and fully blinded conditions and compared to a placebo. The supplement is referred to as MCN36, because it contains 36 nutrients. Based on the preliminary research on this supplement, it is hypothesized that patients who take MCN36 for 8 weeks will experience improved mood stability relative to those who take the placebo. All participants must live EITHER in the vicinity of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, OR in the area of San Diego, California.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of continued combination therapy using Depakote plus olanzapine, vs. Depakote monotherapy and olanzapine monotherapy in stable subjects during the maintenance phase of bipolar illness.
