Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the sensitivity of the THINC-it tool, in measuring change in cognitive deficits in individuals with MDD after receiving vortioxetine.
This a Phase 2a, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled 3 arm study to assess the safety and tolerability of multiple oral doses of REL-1017 25 mg and 50 mg as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of patients diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD). The patients will be adults with MDD who are diagnosed with a current MDE who have experienced an inadequate response to 1 to 3 courses of treatment with an antidepressant medication. This population will provide the opportunity to compare the safety and efficacy effects of treatment with an approved antidepressant in conjunction with REL-1017 versus the effects of an antidepressant alone. This study includes in-patient and out-patient periods.
The studies proposed in this protocol aim to explore the anxiolytic properties of floating as it relates to the central and autonomic nervous system.
This study represents Phase II of a research program involving an international collaboration with Macquarie University (Sydney, Australia) to implement an Internet-based cognitive behavior therapy for the treatment of anxiety and depression in French-speaking Canadians from the Atlantic Provinces. The primary objective is to establish the clinical efficacy of a French-Canadian self-guided format version of the Wellbeing Course by conducting a randomized-control trial where an experimental group will be compared to a waitlist control group. A secondary objective is to demonstrate the course's acceptability through participants' satisfaction with the course.
The main purpose of this study is to determine whether electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) causes any structural or functional brain changes and thus indicating its mechanism of action. The second aim is to find predictors of an immediate response, sustained remission, relapse and side-effects. Thirdly, this study aims to explore whether ECT causes any changes in blood-brain barriers permeability and whether these changes correlate to memory problems. The fourth objective is to examine whether ECT causes any brain tissue damage.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of intranasal esketamine 84 milligram (mg) compared with intranasal placebo in addition to comprehensive standard of care in reducing the symptoms of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), including suicidal ideation, in participants who are assessed to be at imminent risk for suicide, as measured by the change from baseline on the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score at 24 hours post first dose.
Using an innovative multi-modal imaging approach, this study investigates the role of the neurochemical gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), brain activity, as well as hormones in understanding sex differences in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Further, the investigators will link these markers to symptoms of depression.
The goals of this study are: 1) to investigate the efficacy of combining ketamine with intensive cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to sustain the antidepressant effects of ketamine; and 2) to determine ketamine's delayed effects on learning and memory, and to explore the relationship between any ketamine-induced changes in learning and memory and duration of antidepressant efficacy, with and without CBT augmentation. Subjects with a diagnosis of MDD who are treatment-resistant to at least 2 antidepressants and have chosen to pursue clinical ketamine treatment at Yale Psychiatric Hospital will be recruited for the study.
This study investigates stress-related signaling of glutamate and dopamine within the reward-processing circuit in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), and whether they can be used to predict depressive symptoms in the future. This will be achieved through various neuroimaging tools (MRS, fMRI, PET), behavioral tasks, and a naturalistic follow-up design.
To assess the efficacy of pimavanserin compared to placebo when given adjunctively to a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI)/serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) antidepressant as treatment of patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and an inadequate response to antidepressant therapy
