Filter by:The study will apply state of the art radiology through advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to investigate structural and functional brain effects of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS).
Utilization of therapist Assisted internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (TAiCBT) for treating depression and anxiety disorders in stepped-care models, such as the UK's Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) and the Ontario Structured Psychotherapy Program (SPP), is a potential solution for addressing the treatment gap in mental health. Investigators propose to investigate the effectiveness of Beacon TAiCBT for Depression to demonstrate the potential value of TAiCBT in a stepped care model. Investigators propose to conduct a 12-week pragmatic randomized controlled trial with a 1:1 (iCBT intervention: waiting-list) allocation, for participants referred to the Anxiety and Mood, Prompt Anxiety and Mood, and Trauma Programs at Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences and on a waiting-list to receive clinical service. The primary outcome measures will be the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) definitions of Recovery, Reliable Improvement, and Reliable Recovery which are derived using the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 . The PHQ-9 (Depression), GAD-7 (anxiety) and WSAS (functional impairment) will be used as secondary outcome measures for all participants. Over the course of the study, 200 participants will be randomized (iCBT, 100; waiting-list, 100). Statistical analyses will include intention-to-treat analyses to test the interaction effects for the primary outcome measures at discharge/12-weeks and 3, and 12 months post-treatment. It is predicted that participants in the treatment condition will show significantly reduced symptoms of depression related to the waitlist control. It is predicted that this will be maintained through follow up.
Laughter yoga sessions, stretches and stretches, songs, clapping and body It starts with light warm-up techniques that include movements. These are to break down all kinds of inhibitions and It is aimed at developing the feelings of childlike play. breathing exercises lungs they are ready to laugh and are combined with the following series of laughing exercises. LY In order to provide group dynamics in therapy, the group should consist of at least 5-12 people. provided. Real laughter is often experienced during laughter meditation; it's contagious and may trigger laughter in other people in the group, hence the group can establish greater connections with its members. Laughter yoga sessions are always held at the same time and in the same place to encourage the participation of individuals. has been done.
The primary objective of this grant is to develop and evaluate an Artificial Intelligence-based clinical training tool--CBTpro--to support high-quality skills training in CBT for psychosis (CBTp). CBTpro will provide a rapid means of scaling and sustaining high-quality CBTp in routine care settings across the US.
This is a single center phase I / II clinical trial. Randomized, blind and positive drug parallel control were used to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of dental pulp mesenchymal cell injection in the treatment of depression 8 weeks after administration
In this one-armed study the feasibility and effectiveness of a home treatment with transcranial direct currect stimulation in depression will be investigated.
Participants will be asked to fill out an online questionnaire about their demographics information and all 42 items from the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-42). A series of machine learning techniques will be applied to the dataset to develop a shortened assessment using the most important demographics and DASS-42 items from the original questionnaire, to predict depression levels indicated by DASS-42.
This is a phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, SAD and MAD study in healthy adult volunteers. DGX-001 is a peptide being investigated for the treatment of the major depressive disorder. This study will examine the safety and tolerability of increasing doses of DGX-001 and, in an exploratory way, potential moderators and functional markers of its activity.
The study aims to evaluate the impact of repeated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) on underlying neuronal mechanisms of adults suffering from major depression disorder (MDD). Short- and long-term effects are assessed by High-Resolution electroencephalography (HR-EEG) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) records, experimental tasks and self-rated scales.
Attaining goals or rewards commonly entails response costs. In light of cost and benefits, how do participants decide what effort should be put in to give it a shot? Figuratively, you may "go with your gut", but the literal contribution of the gut-brain axis in allocating effort is poorly understood to date. Here, the investigators propose to investigate non-invasive transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation (tVNS) as a potential modulator of energy metabolism and response vigor. Since the neural mechanisms causing the diverse cognitive and behavioral effects of the stimulation remain largely elusive, the investigators will use computational modeling of instrumental behavior and determine the primary metabolic effects of the stimulation. The investigators hypothesize that tVNS will lead to activation of afferent targets in the brain. In turn, the elicited brain activation is expected to mediate the cognitive effects of the stimulation. This may affect both sides of the utility equation because anti-depressive effects may correspond to boosting the benefit of effort whereas anti-nociceptive effects may reduce perceived costs of effort. Collectively, dissecting the cognitive effects of non-invasive tVNS in healthy individuals may facilitate the more widespread use as a treatment in mental disorders that are characterized by metabolic alterations such as depression.
