Filter by:Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a serious mental illness and public health problem that poses threat to both physical and mental health. According to statistics from WHO, it is estimated that more than 350 million people worldwide suffer from depression, with a prevalence rate of 2.1% in China, which is approximately 30 million people. At present, due to the lack of neurobiological markers for screening and diagnosing depression, the identification and diagnosis of MDD are based on the judgment of professional doctors, and the treatment mostly relies on clinical symptoms. In terms of treatment, medication remains the main stream for MDD. Although current methods have certain therapeutic effects, patients still suffer from various side effects and poor cognitive function.In current clinical practice, relying purely on symptomatic diagnosis and treatment is difficult to meet the needs of clinical practice, so there is an urgent need to search for neurobiological markers in depression and develop targeted non-invasive intervention technologies. This study aims to combine advanced brain imaging technology, digital twin-brain models, multi-source information decoding technology, integrated detection and intervention technology. The target is to create two new types of non-invasive BCI systems that can regulate emotions. One is a intervention BCI system for MDD that is suitable for hospital settings with the purpose of precise physical stimulation, and the other one is an ecological BCI system that regulate emotions and intervene with depression which is suitable for both hospital settings and future family environments. This study will collect a comprehensive collection of physiological and biochemical indicators from patients with depression and from healthy control groups, as well as multimodal information such as head surface electroencephalography, MRI, and eye movements under different brain states, to personalize the available BCI information of depression related brain regions, circuits, and networks. The study also tries to explore emotional-interactive games that can intervene with depression and build a game data base that is dedicated to MDD. Other goals include designing and establishing two new types of emotional regulation systems, which are precise external physical stimulation intervention and ecological intervention, constructing a BCI regulation system, and conducting application verification to evaluate the regulation effect.
Bipolar disorder is characterized by high morbidity, recurrence, disability, suicide and comorbidity rate which need novel, efficient, and safe treatment methods, and VR has demonstrate its efficacy in mental disease but not few focus on bipolar disorder. A prospective single center randomize clinical study therefore would be carried on to evaluate the efficacy of VR for Bipolar Disorder in China.
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and efficacy of a Norwegian adaptation of the group-based intervention 'Honest Open Proud' among adults with psychotic and bipolar disorders in an outpatient setting.
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine if it is feasible to randomly assign people into two groups and participate in Lifestyle MIND (Mental Illness and/N' Diabetes) at two different times. Lifestyle MIND is a diabetes lifestyle intervention recently developed for people with serious mental illness (SMI). It is known to be helpful for people with SMI who complete it, but the investigators do not know the effect in comparison to those who do not participate in it. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does Lifestyle MIND improve diabetes control among people with SMI? - Will the effect of Lifestyle MIND be sustained 10 weeks after program completion? - From the provider's perspective, what are the barriers of achieving optimal diabetes treatment outcomes for patients with SMI? Researchers will compare outcomes of participants in the intervention with those in the wait-list control arm, to see if there will be significant differences in blood glucose level, compliance of diabetes self-management, time staying active, number of emergency department (ED) visits and psychiatric hospitalization, and subjective well-being.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test how specific components of diet affect brain function and behavior for individuals with bipolar. The main question it aims to answer is how glucose and ketones each affect the brain's response to risk and reward. Participants will be asked to provide blood (to assess baseline measures of how the body uses energy), and then to receive two MRI scan sessions, on separate days. During each MRI scan session, participants will play three games, from which they can win money, before and after drinking glucose (on one day) or ketones (on the other day). Investigators will compare individuals with and without bipolar to test whether the two groups differ in how their brains use energy, and to test how the brain's use of energy affects behavior.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in pediatric patients who are experiencing major depressive episodes (MDEs) associated with a primary diagnosis of bipolar I or bipolar II disorder as confirmed by Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children-Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL), according to criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM 5).
Intermittent and continuous theta-burst stimulation (iTBS and cTBS respectively) are the newer modalities of transcranial magnetic stimulation with documented efficacy in treatment of depressed mood but with conflicting results regarding their efficacy in treatment of other symptoms of depression such as insomnia, daytime sleepiness and fatigue. This study will investigate the efficacy of iTBS over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and cTBS over the right DLPFC, compared to sham stimulation, in treatment of insomnia, daytime sleepiness and fatigue in depression.
The purpose of this trial is to determine if intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) can reduce the symptoms of depression in treatment-resistant bipolar disorder. To do this, some of the participants in this study will receive treatment with active iTBS stimulation, while others will receive sham iTBS stimulation. Participants will come for 30 days of either active iTBS or sham iTBS, with a 6-week follow-up period. Symptoms of depression (for determining treatment efficacy) and mania (for determining treatment safety) will be assessed using the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD-17) and the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) every five treatments during the treatment course, and at 1 week and 6 week after treatment completion.
In recent years, the prevalence of severe mental disorders in China has continued to grow, and the burden of disease in society has continued to rise. In order to improve the prognosis of patients with severe mental disorders and reduce the risk of disease relapse or readmission, researchers established a cohort based on the Ningbo Mental Health Information System in Ningbo, a sub-provincial city in the southern wing of the Yangtze River Delta of China, with a resident population of more than 9 million, and linked it to the residents' health records, and through the data linkage obtained data on patients in the full cycle of pre-diagnosis, diagnosis, follow-up, disease changes and death, realising full-cycle management of patients with severe mental disorders. Currently, NEED has accumulated data on more than 50,000 patients with severe mental disorders and obtained multi-dimensional longitudinal information through long-term follow-up and data linkage. All diseases follow the World Health Organization International Classification of Diseases 10th Edition (ICD-10) for clinical coding, and available data include baseline demographics, past history, family history, social functioning deficit screening scale scores, risk assessment, and so on and longitudinal health information from electronic health records (EHR), providing a solid data base for future real-world studies.
This is an observational (non-interventional) study, carried out in an outpatient setting, which involves a blood sampling. The primary objective of this study is to confirm the association between the EDIT-B® editing signature and early unipolar or bipolar differentiation. Results of this research may provide an aid to early diagnosis and guide clinical practice towards individualized treatment.
