Filter by:The aim of our study was to test whether the combined administration of the SSRI fluoxetine and metformin, a drug improving metabolic profile and therefore potentially able to mimic the influence of supportive living conditions on treatment outcome, results in an improved antidepressant efficacy compared with fluoxetine alone.
30 healthy adults and 30 patients with major depressive disorder, will take part in three single-application pharmacological interventions (GHB vs. Trazodone vs. placebo p.o.) to test potential effects of these drugs on nocturnal memory consolidation. All participants will be assessed with mood state questionnaires, tests of emotional, procedural and declarative memory consolidation, polysomnography, EEG and neuroinflammatory biomarkers. At experimental nights, learning tasks are performed prior to sleep. The next morning, recalling tasks are performed. Each subject will pass through 5 study nights (1 screening, 1 adaptation and 3 experimental nights).
This study aims to investigate the effects of individualized repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of parieto-hippocampal functional connectivity in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). Specifically, patients will be randomized to one of three groups and will receive 15 days of rTMS over three weeks. Each day they will receive one active session of rTMS over the dorsolateral parietal cortex (DLPFC) and depending on group assignment another session either A) active rTMS over DLPFC, B) active rTMS over left and right lateral parietal cortex (LPC), or C) sham rTMS over DLPFC or LPC. Stimulation targets in the LPC will be individualized for each patient based on their resting-state functional connectivity between the hippocampus and LPC. Clinical, neuropsychological and fMRI data will be acquired before and after the treatment course.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of JNJ-61393215 as adjunctive treatment compared to adjunctive placebo, as assessed by the change from baseline to week 6 on a 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS-17) in participants with major depressive disorder (MDD) with anxious distress with a score greater than or equal to (>=) 2 on item 26 or 27 of the Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology, Clinician Rating -30 (IDS-C30), who have a suboptimal response to current treatment with a standard antidepressant.
This an open label study using a FDA-cleared TMS stimulation protocols which will be used to treat patients who have responded or remitted from depression using acute clinical TMS therapy at the University of Missouri-Columbia Neuromodulation Clinic. TMS therapy will be given to subjects at monthly intervals. Depression severity questionnaires will be given monthly to determine if the subjects original response to TMS can be maintained. Subjects will be tapered down from antidepressant medication prior to TMS maintenance treatment. Results will be analyzed to determine the effectiveness and feasibility of maintenance TMS therapies in a clinical setting.
Cilostazol is a PDE 3 inhibitor, which showed as decrease in HAM-D scores in post-stroke depression through inhibition of neurodegeneration in the primary lesion and secondary extrafocal sites and through promotion of neurogenesis. These beneficial effects on post-stroke depression may be involved in activation of CREB/BDNF signaling.The aim of the current study is to evaluate the potential adjunct antidepressant effect of cilostazol in adult patients with MDD. Furthermore, we will assess the relationship between HAM-D score and BDNF as well as their role as a therapeutic targets of MDD.
This study is a waitlist control trial evaluating the acceptability and preliminary efficacy of a smartphone application with people with mental illness.
The primary goal of this project was to examine the antidepressant effects of yoga as an alternative treatment for depression as compared to no treatment and aerobic exercise. The secondary goal of this project was to examine relevant physiological (i.e., heart rate, blood pressure, cortisol levels) and psychological variables (i.e., perceived hassles, rumination, mindfulness) that may underlie the antidepressant effects of Bikram yoga and aerobic exercise.
The investigators investigated the effects of high frequency (10Hz) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the symptoms and cognitive functioning in patients with psychiatric disorders
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of monthly 225 mg sc fremanezumab in adult participants with migraine and major depressive disorder (MDD) The secondary objectives are to evaluate the efficacy of monthly 225 mg sc of fremanezumab in adult participants with migraine and MDD on the reduction of MDD symptoms, responder rates in monthly migraine days, improving quality of life, improving disability, and the safety and tolerability of monthly 225 mg sc and quarterly 675 mg sc fremanezumab in adult participants with migraine and MDD. The total duration of participant participation in the study is planned to be approximately 28 weeks.
