Study F1J-US-HMFS comprises two identical multicenter, 9-month, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, trials (HMFSa and HMFSb). The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of Duloxetine 60 milligrams (mg) once daily to placebo on depression in patients aged 18-65. Data from the two trials will be reported in both individual and pooled analyses. Pooling the two studies will allow for increased power to detect differences between duloxetine and placebo on secondary and exploratory objectives. Only one data lock is planned for this study, when all patients have completed all study procedures.
To confirm the safety and efficacy of the NCP System in treating patients in a nmajor depressive episode.
The purpose of this study is to find out what parts of the brain have increased or decreased activity when people are depressed and how antidepressant medicine changes this activity in depressed patients. The genetic samples collected are to look at variation in a gene (serotonin transporter gene), which affects the functioning of the chemical serotonin in the brain
The primary purpose of your participation in this study is to help answer the following research question: Whether 12-week administration of EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system) is safe and effective for the treatment of adolescents (aged 12 through 17 years) with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).
Background: Although major depression and chronic headache are strongly associated, there is insufficient evidence on the use of antidepressants for this specific comorbidity. This trial aimed to investigate the efficiency and tolerability of duloxetine for this indication. Methods: Thirty outpatients of our clinic, with DSM-IV major depression and concurrent primary chronic headache (chronic migraine, chronic tension-type headache or both), 18-55 years, were recruited from April 2006 to March 2007, if they scored >21 on the Montgomery-Äsberg Depression Scale (MADRS) and had no other significant clinical condition. Subjects received duloxetine 60 mg/day for 8 weeks. MADRS scores and a visual analog pain scale (VAS) were the co-primary outcome measures. WHO quality of life scale (WHOQoL BREF) scores and headache days/week were secondary outcome measures.Conclusion: In this preliminary open trial, duloxetine 60 mg/day was effective, fast acting and well tolerated for the treatment of comorbid major depression and chronic headache.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of saredutant 100mg once daily in combination with escitalopram 10mg once daily compared to saredutant placebo in combination with escitalopram 10mg once daily in patients with major depressive disorder. This study also includes a double-placebo group (saredutant placebo in combination with escitalopram placebo).
The primary purpose of your participation in this study is to help answer the following research question, and not to provide you treatment for your condition. Whether duloxetine once daily orally is tolerated and safe, in children (aged 7 through 11 years) and adolescents (aged 12 through 17 years) with Major Depressive Disorder.
Since antidepressants and antipsychotics have common receptorial mechanisms of action (H1 antagonism, 5HT2 antagonism), the impact of antidepressants in terms of metabolic syndromes is a matter of concern. The main objective of this study is to assess the differential impact of antidepressants in terms of weight gain and metabolic syndromes.
In this pilot study, the PI proposes to include 20 African American participants with Fibromyalgia to explore the effect of r TMS on pain and depressive symptoms.
