Filter by:Bipolar I Disorder (BP1)is a severe chronic mood disorder characterized by manic and depression. BP1 has high probability of being misunderstood as unipolar major depressive disorder (MDD). The purpose of this study is to confirm Rapid Mood Screener (RMS) effectively classifies participants with BP1. Rapid Mood Screener (RMS) is a brief 6-item clinician-administered checklist, in which a participant's endorsement of four or more questions should trigger further clinical evaluation for BP1. Approximately 404 participants (303 with confirmed unipolar MDD and 101 with confirmed BP1) will be enrolled in the United States. Participants will be answering RMS questionnaire and accuracy will be measured against Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) interview.
Depression is a common illness, affecting 17% of the population over the course of a lifetime. A third of depressions relapses and progresses to recurrence and resistance to treatments. Despite the optimization of antidepressant medical strategies, 20 to 40% of depressions do not respond to treatment. This is particularly worrying as 6% of non-responder patients will die by committing suicide. Depression has a major impact on quality of life, socio-professional functioning and healthcare consumption. Sometimes, TRD is part of a bipolar illness. In this case, the challenge is even bigger because antidepressants are no well tolerated, further reducing the therapeutic options in case of resistance, the severity and duration of the depressive episodes are the main factors explaining the deterioration of the quality of life and the increasing cost of cares for these patients. The standard treatment for TRD is electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), which results in a response in 60 to 70% of cases after a few weeks of treatment. However, the improvement is often transient and 40% of patients relapse within 6 months of the initial ECT session. Moreover, ECT is often not well tolerated. This therapeutic impasse therefore makes TRD a priority public health target to which it is urgent to provide a realistic medico-economical response. The literature suggests that Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) has unique kinetics of efficacy in depression, particularly in preventing long-term recurrences, and therefore responding to the lack of effective maintenance treatment in TRD. In fact, the benefits of VNS gradually accumulate over 12-24 months, which makes it complementary to more incisive treatments like ECT. Finally, its efficacy-tolerance profile appears to be similar in uni and bipolar TRD, giving VNS a potentially unique place in the therapeutic arsenal in psychiatry. The DepVNS hypothesis is that VNS is a medico-economically efficient therapeutic option to overcome the therapeutic impasse in which patients suffering from uni and bipolar DR currently find themselves due to the frequency of relapses under treatment. The primary objective is to estimate, from a collective point of view, the incremental cost-utility ratio of VNS to treat patients suffering from RD.
This study investigates the effects of a CBT- based intervention on depression, anxiety, immune function, quality of life, and overall survival. It also explores if the effects of the intervention on immune function and quality of life are mediated through the improvements in depression and anxiety among patients with liver cancer.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of continuous oral administration of HS-10353 in Chinese adults with depression.HS-10353 is a new generation of GABAA receptor isomeric modulator developed by our company, which can correct the dysfunction of GABAA receptor function and restore the balance between GABA receptor and NMDA receptor. Oral administration of HS-10353 at night for 14 days is expected to reduce clinical symptoms in patients with depression. As an oral preparation of allopregnenolone analogitics, it has good bioavailability, rapid onset and high safety, and has broad clinical application prospects, which is expected to better meet the treatment needs of clinical depression in China in the future.
The study seeks to delve into the firsthand experiences of patients diagnosed with depression who partake in a separate clinical trial featuring a specific medical intervention. The primary emphasis will be on meticulously tracking the rates of trial completion and withdrawal among these individuals. By joining this clinical trial, individuals have the unique opportunity to contribute to the betterment of future depression patients and play an active role in advancing medical research.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with HS-10353 reduces depressive symptoms in participants with postpartum depression (PPD) compared to placebo as assessed by the change from baseline in the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D17) total score at Day 15. And the secondary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of HS-10353 compared to placebo as assessed by the incidence of adverse events, clinical laboratory evaluations, electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters, the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), and the 20-item Physician Withdrawal Checklist (PWC-20).
This trial protocol aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of cariprazine monotherapy compared to treatment as usual for major depressive disorder (MDD) in a pragmatic open-label randomized controlled trial (RCT) conducted at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital Department of Behavioral Medicine. The protocol adheres to the guidelines outlined in Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and will be submitted to the Institutional Review Board (IRB) for approval. The trial will assess the efficacy of cariprazine in improving depressive symptoms and overall functioning, as well as its safety profile in patients with MDD.
This study is a retrospective database study in Japan to evaluate the relative risk of serious intracranial hemorrhage requiring hospitalization between Vortioxetine tablet treatment and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) treatment for patients with depression. This survey will conduct in use of medical database called JMDC claims database.
The goal of this pilot randomised controlled trial is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the - specifically to the prison context adapted - World Health Organization's Problem Management Plus (PM+) intervention for individuals detained in Dutch remand prisons. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - To what extent is the contextually adapted PM+ intervention feasible and acceptable for individuals detained in Dutch remand prisons? - To what extent are there preliminary indications of pre to post-effects of the PM+ intervention on, for example, anxiety and depression symptoms? Researchers will compare two groups to answer these questions. Participants will either receive the PM+ intervention and Care-as-Usual or only Care-as-Usual.
This study intends to use a randomized controlled clinical study to clarify the clinical efficacy of cheek acupuncture therapy in patients with moderate depressive disorder. And also to find the antidepressant mechanism of cheek acupuncture therapy on moderate depressive disorder by using resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging. The specific method is to randomly assign 126 patients with moderate depressive disorder to cheek acupuncture group, sham cheek acupuncture group and drug group, evaluate the treatment effect with HAMD-17, PSQI and HAMA, observe the improvement of cheek acupuncture on depression, anxiety and sleep quality of patients with moderate depressive disorder, and observe the changes of functional links in various brain regions of patients in each group before and after treatment through resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging technology.
