Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to test the study drug, NORA520, as a possible treatment for severe postpartum depression (PPD). The trial aims to determine: - How well NORA520 is tolerated and what side effects it may cause - If NORA520 reduces depressive symptoms in subjects with severe PPD - The amount of NORA520 in the blood at various times after taking the study drug; this provides information that helps determine how often NORA520 should be taken - In a subset of subjects, the amount of NORA520 in breastmilk at various times after taking it to determine if and how much NORA520 can pass into breastmilk Participate in this study will be randomly assigned to one of 3 different groups. All subjects will take the study drug for 3 days.
The main purpose of this study is to compare a group-based interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) program and a Type 2 Diabetes education program to determine if there are differences in depression levels, diabetes distress, and glycemic control in adolescents with Type 2 Diabetes.
Depression affects between 5-15% of adults ≥ 65 years in Sweden. Depression in older adults reduces functional ability and quality of life, and increases the risk for morbidity, loneliness, and suicide. Psychological treatment is recommended as a first-line treatment for depression, which about 3% of older adults with depression in Sweden report receiving. One effective psychological treatment is behavioral activation, which reduces depressive symptoms by increasing enjoyable, meaningful and important activities, for example exercise and social activities. The research group conducted a pilot study of telephone based behavioral activation for isolated older adults with depression during the COVID-19 pandemic. The intervention consisted of four telephone calls, and the results showed a significant decrease in depressive symptoms, with maintained effects for six months. 250 individuals will participate in the study. Half of the participants will be randomised to start the intervention immediately, while the other half of the participants will be randomized to a control group receiving treatment as usual at their respective primary care center. Participants will be asked to fill in questionnaires before, after treatment. Questionnaires will also be sent 3- and 6 months after treatment to follow up on the results. Patients will be asked to wear an accelerometer for 5-7 days to record their activity level at baseline, post-intervention and after 3-months. A smaller group of participants (10-15) will be asked to participate in a more detailed interview about how they experienced the treatment.
Purpose of the Study This study aims to determine the effect of mindfulness-based stress reduction program given to infertile women on perceived stress, anxiety, depression and salivary cortisol. Materials and Method It will be conducted in a randomized controlled experimental design. This randomized controlled trial will follow the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) 2010 guidelines.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a new brain stimulation treatment target for individuals with depression plus at least one additional psychiatric disorder. The main question is to understand the safety profile of a non-invasive form of brain stimulation called accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation when it is targeting the posterior parietal cortex. Additional questions focus on whether this stimulation improves symptoms of depression and other psychiatric disorders as well as whether this stimulation changes brain function.
The purpose of this study is to use transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to better understand the neural circuits associated with social motivation. Participant includes four study visits each that range from 1.5 - 3.0 hours in duration over approximately a one month period. The first study visit involves answering survey questions, a clinical interview, and computer tasks. The second study visit involves a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, computer tasks, and a brief TMS protocol. The second and third study visits involve a full session of TMS followed by an MRI scan and computer tasks. Adults in the Auburn/Apelika area who avoid social situations, experience symptoms of depression or social anxiety, and are between 25 years old and 50 years old are eligible to participate.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a brief, behavioral telehealth treatment program (STEP-UP) for depression and anxiety in youths (age 8-16 years old). Youths and families will be recruited through participating community health centers and will be randomly assigned to either: (a) receive STEP-UP care from providers at their health center or (b) be referred to care from local community mental health clinicians. Youth and families will be interviewed before treatment starts, 16 weeks later, and 24 weeks later to assess how youth are feeling. The main question the study aims to answer is whether STEP-UP improves youths functioning in daily life, anxiety symptoms, and depression symptoms. Researchers will compare STEP-UP to referral to community treatment-as-usual mental health services to see if STEP-UP is more effective.
The objective of this pilot project is to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and mental health impact of OULA for women with postpartum depression (PPD).
To explore the effectiveness and safety of rTMS intervention with different targets in the left prefrontal cortex defined using the pBFS method, in adult patients with moderate and severe depressive disorder. Second, investigate the neural circuit that responds to the rTMS intervention using individualized brain image analysis, which may help to establish an effective target for the neuromodulation of patients with major depressive disorder.
In certain low- and middle- income country settings, there is a disproportionate level of untreated postpartum depression that presents both acute and long-term risks to a mother's well-being. Although there is increasing willingness among health systems to involve non-specialists, such as community health workers, in the delivery of psychosocial interventions for postpartum depression, the effectiveness of these interventions has been mixed. The incorporation of digital technology, though, has the potential to improve the effectiveness of non-specialist-delivered interventions. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the acceptability and clinical efficacy of the StandStrong intervention- a non-specialist, passive sensing technology-informed (i.e., digital) mental health intervention- as compared to a standard non-specialist mental health intervention among postpartum-depressed mothers in Nepal. Successful completion of the trial will contribute to the optimization of psychosocial intervention delivery for the postpartum context in low- and middle-income country settings.
