Filter by:Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is one of the most effective treatments for treatment-resistant depression (TRD). However, due to response delay and cognitive impairment, ECT remains an imperfect treatment. In this multicenter, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled study, our objective is to assess the priming effect of rTMS sessions before ECT on clinical, cognitive and neural response in patients with TRD.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the pharmacodynamic effects of ALTO-203 in patients with MDD in a randomized, placebo-controlled, single-dose crossover treatment period. Additionally, safety, tolerability, and PK will be assessed in a subsequent randomized placebo-controlled multi-dose parallel-group treatment period of 28 days. Participants will complete subjective response questionnaires and perform cognitive tasks during the single-dose period, in which participants will receive ALTO-203 25 μg and 75 μg, as well as placebo. During the multiple-dose period, participants will receive either ALTO-203 25 μg, 75 μg , or placebo. Safety will be assessed over the single dose and 28-day multiple dose periods.
The demand for prevention and treatment of adolescent depression has rapidly increased over years. A national project to improve treatment of adolescent depression in primary care has taken place in Finland starting 2020. The goal of this prospective observational cohort study is to describe pathways to mental health services in adolescents with depressive symptoms. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Do young people reporting depressive symptoms have equal access to treatment? - How is it best to recognize those adolescents who will benefit from IPC-A? Adolescents who participate in the study will - complete a survey on protective and risk factors of depression three times over 6 months - report possible depressive symptoms every two weeks over 6 months - report whether they needed and received help, motivation for treatment, and benefits and harms from treatment We will also collect - information from one of caretakers with two surveys within 6 month- intervals on their view on adolescent's need for support, strengths and risks, and benefits and harms from treatment where applicable - where applicable, from the professional who provided support after the intervention on their training and competence, as well as content of and response to treatment - register data to estimate overall provision and cost of social welfare and health care services one year preceding the study and over 2 to 10 years after the observation period Researchers will compare an intervention that is new in Finland, adolescent interpersonal counseling (IPC-A), to other treatments of depression, to see if it is equal to or better than other treatments of depression.
The overarching goal of the project is to determine whether differences in stomach-brain coupling contribute to key symptoms of major depressive disorder (MDD) and whether transcutaneous non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) may serve as a non-invasive intervention to improve aberrant interoceptive signaling in participants suffering from MDD.
This study will focus on the hypothesis that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) based on EEG personalized modulation may be more effective in promoting symptomatic relief of major depressive disorder (MDD), and will rely on the platform of neuroimaging and function brain imaging of Shanghai Mental Health Center (SMHC), an authoritative institution in the field of mental health. We will eventually facilitate optimization of physical therapy for major depressive disorder (MDD).
The goal of this randomised controlled trial is to enhance the Friendship Bench intervention with antidepressants in adults with moderate to severe depression. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is the combination of the Friendship Bench with nurse-led antidepressants prescribing superior to the Friendship Bench alone? 2. What are the barriers and enablers for the prescription of antidepressants by non-specialists in primary care? Type of study: Randomized controlled superiority trial Participants will be randomly selected and allocated into the control arm or intervention arm. Participants in the control arm will receive six sessions of the Friendship Bench Problem Solving Therapy while those in the intervention arm will receive the Friendship Bench intervention plus Fluoxetine (Sertraline for breastfeeding women).
Participants will receive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) at a random location in the left prefrontal cortex, excluding sites that are potentially unsafe. Extensive behavioral testing will be conducted to determine which behaviors are modulated by stimulating which circuits.
In this double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled trial, we aimed to examine the effect of accelerated piTBS on suicide risk in a group of treatment-resistant patients with MDD (i.e., TRD), using an extensive suicide assessment scale the primary outcome. We hypothesized that this intensified treatment protocol would be safe in TRD patients with suicide ideations and would result in significant decreases in suicide risk in the active treatment condition as compared to the sham condition.
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the positive detection accuracy (PDA) and detection latency measures of the D-Tect patch.
PARADIGM (Progressing TAAR-1, Dopamine, and Norepinephrine in Depression Using Solriamfetol) is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial to assess the safety and efficacy of solriamfetol for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults.
