Filter by:Persons with serious mental illness are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The goals of this study are to test a treatment, Life Goals Collaborative Care to help promote health behavior change and to get feedback from patients and providers on what is needed to help better coordinate and physical and mental health care of these patients.
The purpose of this study is to measure if there is any difference in how the body breaks down or inactivates either fluoxetine or LY2216684 when both of these medicines are given together. This study will look at how fluoxetine might affect LY2216684 and how giving LY2216684 might affect fluoxetine in the body. The duration of study participation in this study is approximately 36 days not including the screening appointment. This study requires 1 research unit confinement of 29 days/28 nights followed by 1 outpatient appointment. A screening appointment is required within 30 days prior to the start of the study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of liver function on how much of the study drug (LY2216684) gets into the blood stream and how long it takes the body to get rid of it. Information about any side effects that may occur will also be collected. The duration of participation in this study is approximately 12 days, not including the screening visit. This study requires 1 clinic confinement of 5 days/4 nights followed by 1 out-patient follow-up visit. A screening visit is required within 30 days prior to the start of the study. This research study will be an open-label study. The study involves a single oral dose of 18 milligrams (mg) LY2216684 given as 2 tablets.
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) as well as Theta- Burst Stimulation of the frontal cortex are used to modulate the neuronal excitability in patients with depression. In the proposed study we investigate whether high frequent rTMS or Theta-Burst Stimulation of the DLPFC is more effective in patients with a depressive episode.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether GLYX-13 reduces depression score in patients with treatment-resistant depression.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about how Pristiq is currently being used in general practice and how psychiatrists and primary care physicians currently perceive Pristiq in terms of efficacy, tolerability, and adherence compared to other treatments for major depressive disorder (MDD).
This is a study to assess the distribution, metabolism and excretion of [14C]AZD6765 after a single-dose intravenous administration.
Duke University Medical Center in collaboration with Glendale Adventist Medical Center propose a randomized clinical trial of conventional cognitive behavior therapy (CCBT) vs. religious cognitive behavior therapy (RCBT) for major depression in medical patients with chronic disabling illness. Therapists will deliver the treatment in real time over the Internet and/or by telephone to increase treatment access. This planning grant seeks support for a two-site study (North Carolina and California) that consists of two phases. In Phase I (Rounsaville 1a) the investigators will conduct an open trial of 30 patients to assess subject recruitment, refine RCBT and CCBT manuals and protocol, assess compliance with treatment, acceptability of treatment and delivery system (online vs. telephone), and allow therapists gain experience with delivery system and RCBT. In Phase II (Rounsaville 1b) the investigators will conduct a randomized proof of concept comparison of CCBT vs. RCBT that will demonstrate feasibility and confirm the expected clinically meaningful difference for a definitive R01 application. In Phase II, 70 religious patients ages 18-85 with a new episode of major depression (MINI), scores of 16-35 on the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and at least one chronic disabling medical illness will be randomized to either CCBT or RCBT. The trial will consist of ten 50 min sessions administered by master's level therapists and delivered over 12 weeks. The primary endpoint will be BDI score at baseline, 4, 8, 12, and 24-week follow-up. Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, and Muslim versions of the RCBT manual will be developed, and CBT experts in each of these traditions will supervise therapists delivering the intervention to patients from these faith traditions. The purpose of this study is to determine feasibility and effect sizes for a future, fully powered treatment study. The importance is that results will be relevant to therapists well beyond those who explicitly practice pastoral counseling, extending to many secular therapists as well. If 65% of Americans indicate that religion is an important part of daily life and the vast majority of chronically ill medical patients wish to include it in their therapy, then all therapists (whether they have explicit training in pastoral counseling or not) are likely to encounter patients in which this approach would be applicable.
The goal of this study is to compare supportive-expressive therapy, a type of psychodynamic psychotherapy, with cognitive therapy for the treatment of depression in community mental health consumers. Hypothesized mediators of treatment will also be examined.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether completing a computer-based program alters changes how the brain processes emotional information and improves symptoms of depression.
