Filter by:Major depressive disorder (MDD) is highly prevalent, affecting nearly 4% of the global population. Pharmacotherapy is the frontline treatment recommended by the guideline, but it also has some limitations such as delayed onset, inadequate response, and drug resistance. Intradermal acupuncture (IA) is a method of using short indwelling needles retained under the skin to produce continuous stimulation for long-term efficacy. It has been reported that IA combination medication appears to be more valuable than medication alone in the treatment of MDD, however, there is a lack of high-quality clinical evidence.While several studies have proposed that manual or electroacupuncture can improve MDD symptoms by modulating brain networks, the cerebral mechanism of IA as superficial acupuncture for MDD has not been reported. Hence, investigators designed a multicentre randomized controlled trial to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of IA for MDD and preliminarily explore the potential therapeutic mechanisms for IA by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) .
The goal of this observational study is to describe and assess the presence of perceived fatigue in subjects with MFS and EDS. the main question it aims to answer through the FSS instrument is: - The relationship of fatigue with physical and psychological characteristics, the presence of depressive disorders and insomnia.
The goal of this interventional study is to compare in logotherapy-based intervention practiced to depressed patients on depression, psychological pain and meaning of life. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the logotherapy-based intervention practiced in addition to the standard treatment in depression patients effective in reducing the depression levels of the patients? - Is the logotherapy-based intervention practiced in addition to the standard treatment in depression patients effective in reducing the psychological pain levels of the patients? - Is the logotherapy-based intervention practiced in addition to the standard treatment in depression patients effective in increasing the patients' level of meaning to life? Participants will be done online interview once a week for eight sessions. Researchers will compare intervention and control groups to see if logotherapy-based intervention practiced effect depression, psychological pain and meaning of life levels.
In this study, the investigators aimed to observe the effects of medium cut-off dialysis filters and high-flux dialysis filters on malnutrition inflammation score, uremic itching, restless leg syndrome, anemia, and ESA treatment, which are prominent complications in hemodialysis, and routine follow-up parameters.
This project is a single-arm pilot trial to investigate the feasibility, acceptability, and plausible efficacy of a 16-week resistance exercise training (RET) program for treatment of major depressive disorder.
This project is part of the NIH Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEAL) initiative (https://heal.nih.gov/). This pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) is part of phase 1 of a two-phase, 5-year project with the overarching goal of testing a decision aid (DA)/coaching intervention, tailored to Black patients with comorbid chronic pain and depression, to encourage use of and adherence to nonpharmacological pain treatments (NPTs). This 2-arm pilot trial will aim to enroll up to 40 Black patients with comorbid chronic musculoskeletal pain and depression in primary care from an urban safety-net health system with the end goal of at least 30 patients completing the trial. After the baseline assessment, patients randomized to the intervention will be asked to participate in 4 coaching sessions over approximately 12 weeks. Sessions will use Motivational Interviewing principles to foster openness to NPTs and self-efficacy by helping patients identify their goals and priorities, understand their NPT options, prepare them to discuss and choose options with their primary care providers (PCPs), and reinforce these choices to foster maintenance of these changes. DA contents will be integrated into these sessions, which will facilitate discussion of these options with their PCP. The first 3 sessions take place prior to the patient's next scheduled PCP visit; the final session occurs after this visit. Assessments will be conducted at baseline, 3 months (i.e., after completing the final coaching session), and 6 months. Patients randomized to the wait-list control group will receive usual care (in addition to study assessments at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months). After completing the final assessment, they will then be given the DA along with a 20-minute coaching session to walk them through it (patients may decline the coaching session or schedule for a future time).
This is a Phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of TNX-601 ER monotherapy versus placebo in patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).
The study is a randomized controlled treatment study comparing changes in depressive symptoms over 8 weeks between individuals with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who have access to an FTP-based mobile phone application and a control group not engaging with the app. FTP, the process of Facilitating Thought Progression, trains the brain's cognitive thought process to expand, accelerate, and be more creative, to alleviate depressive symptoms.
The purpose of this study is to confirm binding of MIJ821 to the NR2B-containing NMDA receptors in the human brain and assess the PC-RO relationship over time using positron emission tomography (PET).
HIV/AIDS patients are at risk for depression, a multifactorial disorder with signs and symptoms that affect the cognitive, affective, behavioral, and somatic areas. This study used Randomized Controlled Clinical Trials (RCT). Main hypothesis: A combination of spiritual awareness-based cognitive therapy (MSBCT) plus hypnotic interventions can reduce depression degree scores by reducing cortisol levels and increasing serotonin levels in HIV patients with depression. Small hypothesis 1. There was a decrease in cortisol levels after being given the MSBCT plus hypnosis combination intervention in HIV patients with depression; 2. There was an increase in serotonin levels after being given the MSBCT plus hypnosis combination intervention in HIV patients with depression; 3. There was a decrease in depression degree scores after being given the MSBCT plus hypnosis combination intervention in HIV patients with depression; 4. There was a higher reduction in cortisol levels in the intervention group compared to the control group in HIV patients with depression; 5. There was a higher increase in serotonin levels in the intervention group compared to the control group in HIV patients with depression; 6. There was a higher reduction in scores degree of depression in the intervention group compared to the control group in HIV patients with depression; 7. Decreased cortisol levels and increased serotonin levels affect depression degree scores in HIV patients with depression; 8. MSBCT plus hypnosis combination intervention is a factor that can affect depression degree scores reduction in HIV patients with depression;
