Bipolar Disorder Clinical Trial

Official title: Emotional Proactive Processing in Bipolar Disorder

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The main objective of this project is to identify behavioral specificities of the proactive emotional brain among bipolar patients, compared to healthy subjects. These could contribute to some of the emotional processing biases that can be observed in these patients. To achieve this goal, two behavioral tasks will be administer (emotional stroop and emotional stimuli categorization task) to bipolar patients and control subjects, and their performances will be compared.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a case-control non-interventional study comparing bipolar patients to matched healthy controls during one assessment visit at the University Hospital of Grenoble. The experimentation phase takes place in three stages: first, the experimenter collects demographic data (age and level of study, lack of medical history and treatments that may interfere with the task). For bipolar subjects, it also collects the type of bipolarity, the type and date of the last episode, the age of the onset of the disease and the treatment. Secondly, the subject performs a classic Stroop task lasting 3 to 5 minutes, including instructions. Finally, the subject performs the two main tasks: the emotional Stroop task lasting about 20 minutes and then the task of emotional stimuli categorization lasting about 15 minutes. ;
