Filter by:This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the effects of NMRA-335140 (formerly BTRX-335140) on symptoms of depression in participants with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). The study design consists of a Screening Period (up to 28 days), and a 6-week Treatment Period (during which participants will receive either NMRA-335140 or placebo). At the completion of the 6-week Treatment Period, participants who complete the study, provide informed consent, and meet the eligibility criteria may enter an open-label extension study (NMRA-335140-501).
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of BRII-296 administered by 2 intramuscular injections, administered with Depo Medrol as assessed by the incidence of adverse events, changes from baseline in vital signs, pulse oximetry, clinical laboratory evaluations, electrocardiograms (ECGs), Stanford Sleepiness Scale (SSS), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) in conjunction with clinical assessment, and suicidal ideation using the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS).
The primary purpose of this study is to compare the short (12 week) and long-term (1-year) efficacy and the tolerability between stepwise psychopharmacotherapy and antidepressant monotherapy for 12 weeks in adult patients with major depressive disorders, stratified by the multimodal serum biomarker scores.
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a debilitating and recurrent illness associated with a constellation of grave consequences and is among the most common psychiatric disorders during the pregnancy and postpartum periods. Meanwhile, sleep disturbance, particularly insomnia, is among the most prevalent and prominent presenting complaints in pregnant women with depression. Despite its high prevalence, insomnia often remains overlooked and under-treated in clinical practice. However, growing evidence suggests an intricate relationship between insomnia and depression, which has become an area in need of further focused attention. The optimal treatment for managing both antenatal depression and insomnia remains controversial. Only few pilot studies have evaluated the effects of cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) for antenatal insomnia. Whilst face-to-face CBT-I has shown the promise in managing insomnia in pregnant women, several barriers to implementation remain in clinical practice (e.g., a lack of trained therapists, long waiting time). Pregnant women also face additional unique barriers to obtaining insomnia treatment, including having other recurring prenatal health appointments, limitations in mobility or transportation, and financial concerns. There is growing evidence supporting the feasibility and comparable efficacy of digital CBT-I (effect size Cohen's d ranging from 0.69 to 0.8) as compared to a control intervention (e.g., sleep hygiene education, relaxation) for treating adult insomnia. However, little is known about the effects of different treatment modalities (group-based vs. app-based CBT-I) during pregnancy. This study aims to conduct a randomised controlled trial to examine the effects of group-based CBT-I and smartphone app-based CBT-I as compared to health education control condition in pregnant women with comorbid depression and insomnia on improving maternal sleep and depressive symptoms, other clinical and daytime symptoms, and overall functional improvement, as well as mother-infant-relationship.
This study will investigate the anti-anhedonic efficacy of a novel neurostimulation strategy termed accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (aiTBS) in participants with treatment resistant depression (TRD).
Trial title: Effectiveness of Electrical Vestibular Nerve Stimulation in the Management of Depression The aim of this study: To better evaluate the efficacy of non-invasive electrical vestibular nerve stimulation (VeNS) as a method of treating Depression, as compared to a sham control. Allocation: Randomized to either active device or control device usage. Endpoint classification: Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment in 1:1 active to control allocation Sample size: The aim is to recruit a total of up to 60 participants. The study will last 12 weeks in total for each subject.
The purpose of this study is to develop a technique called real time fMRI neurofeedback. This technique uses a regular MRI scanner, except that special software allows the researchers to measure activity in participants brain, using fMRI, and then give information, in the form of a feedback signal, which indicates brain activity in real time, while in the MRI scanner. The larger goal of this study is to develop ways to help people, including those with depression, better regulate brain activity. The researchers think that this may be helpful in managing psychiatric symptoms. This study design has three phases, however, only two phases (phase 2 and 3) are considered to be a clinical trial. Phase 2 (part 2) was registered and is NCT05934604. This is the phase 3 (part 3) for this project and is funded by the National Institutes of Health.
This hybrid effectiveness-implementation project will allow the team to evaluate and refine implementation in preparation for future multisite trials to ultimately move the Evidence-Based Intervention (EBI) to scale among diverse populations. The plan is to enroll 120 at-risk pregnant and postpartum women from rural, urban, and Latino populations. Using a randomized preference design to also evaluate patient and sociocultural factors in participation and symptom trajectory. Using the Implementation Research Logic Model, the team will evaluate the implementation feasibility and acceptability of a remote-access and on-demand MBCT PD prevention intervention that is integrated within maternal clinical care settings using an existing patient portal. Successful achievement of the study aims will result in a refined implementation protocol for future studies that are sufficiently powered to evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated Digital Mental Health Technology and to estimate the cost/benefit ratio
Many pregnant women face the risk of experiencing depression after giving birth, especially if they've previously dealt with depression. The goal of this study, is to test if our newly developed Prenatal Affective Cognitive Training (PACT) intervention, can decrease the likelihood of post partum depression. In the study, 226 pregnant women, some of whom are considered high risk due to past mental illness or psycho-social risk factors, will participate. The high-risk women will be divided into two groups. One group will undergo the PACT training, which involves computer and virtual reality exercises spanning five weeks, designed to improve mood and emotional regulation. The other group will receive usual care. The main aim is to observe whether the women who undergo PACT intervention are less prone to depression after childbirth compared to those who do not. This study has potential to offer a simple, non-invasive method to bolster mental health in expectant mothers, which could also positively impact their infants.
The goal of this observational study is to compare subjects with at-risk-mental-state, early psychosis, schizophrenia, depression, and autism spectrum disorders, with healthy controls (N = 21 x 6). The main questions it aims to answer are: - are EEG microstate anomalies associated with diagnosis, clinical and functional prognosis, both in resting conditions and during sleep ? - are EEG microstates anomalies associated with differences in sensorimotor integration, prosodic and conversational, interoceptive, and narrative self ? - an ancillary study will be to see whether in healthy controls EEG microstate properties vary under light hypnosis conditions. Participants will: - undergo deep phenotyping based on psychopathology and neuropsychological assessments - undergo a high-resolution EEG (64 electrodes) with a resting period and a sensorimotor task; and healthy controls will have a light hypnosis period. - undergo a recording of the characteristics of their voice (tone, prosody) - undergo a one-night polysomnography - undergo MRI and biological sampling for multi-omic analyses - undergo a virtual reality experience
