Filter by:This open-label functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) study will assess the effects of a single dose of psilocybin on rumination and the neural correlates of rumination in individuals with major depressive disorder.
This study aims to identify how enhanced allopregnanolone activity (via pregnenolone) affects behavior and neurobiology that may underlie perimenopausal depression.
The results of ketamine, ketamine and midazolom and placebo can be copied after birth in cesareans subjected to spinal anesthesia.
The researchers are trying to test the feasibility and acceptability of using transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) in hospitalized adult patients with Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD), assess for any preliminary effect on depressive and cognitive symptoms, and explore the utility of biomarkers to assess response to tDCS.
Up to 40% of people with alcohol use disorder (AUD) experience depression. Depression is a risk factor for early relapse of AUD after withdrawal in a controlled environment. Promising data suggest the effectiveness of psilocybin, a psychedelic-type treatment, in depression and AUD. Following the acute effects of the psychedelic experience, which lasts approximately 6 hours, psilocybin action appears to be beneficial for preventing alcohol relapse in recently weaned people suffering from comorbid depression. Whilst the public perception of psilocybin therapy is poorly documented in France, the rapid changes in the legal status of psilocybin elsewhere, the positive media coverage of recent trials in depression, and the recent designation as an "innovative therapy" by the FDA could lead to the refusal of randomization of eligible participants. It is therefore essential to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of psilocybin treatment and blinded randomized design in our clinical population of hospitalized patients with AUD and depressive symptoms. Recent data suggest that the effect size of psilocybin is much higher than other currently available treatments. However, this paradigm shift must be confirmed in our cohort of people with AUD and depressive symptoms, and in the context of treatment in addition to usual care, by an estimation of the expected effect size based on real data. This will allow the sample size to be accurately calculated for a large-scale randomized clinical trial. Finally, the potential mechanisms of action of psilocybin to prevent relapse in AUD with comorbid depression after withdrawal need to be documented. The objective of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, neural mechanisms and preliminary results of the effectiveness of psilocybin in the treatment of AUD and depressive symptoms after withdrawal, in addition to usual treatment. The study authors hypothesize that two oral administrations of 25 mg psilocybin at three-week intervals versus a control condition (1 mg psilocybin), in addition to the usual treatment, will be acceptable and feasible in recently withdrawn individuals suffering from AUD and depressive symptoms, between 14 and 60 days after their last alcohol consumption
The effectiveness of psychomotor therapy in improving clinical outcomes or quality of life for individuals with depression is unclear. The investigators will assess how the participants' quality of life and psychomotor profile change over time. The study aims to compare the quality of life at 3 months between patients who received 3 months of personalised psychomotor therapy in addition to standard treatment and those who received standard treatment alone. The study lasted for 6 months, and the investigators expects a total of 128 people to participate in this research across several hospital establishments. This study evaluates the effectiveness of two types of treatment, divided into two randomly selected groups. To participate, individuals must have a medical diagnosis of major depressive disorder (MDD) and be between the ages of 20 and 60. They must have depressive symptoms with an HDRS score greater than 16 and provide informed consent. They must be treated or hospitalised at the Centre Hospitalier Esquirol or the Centre Hospitalier Henri Laborit (France). After providing consent, they will undergo an initial clinical interview that evaluates anxiety, self-esteem, pleasure, and quality of life. The therapist assessed the participant's muscle tone, gross motor skills, praxis, manual dexterity, rhythm, processing of sensory information, and body image. Following the assessment, the participant was randomly assigned to either the experimental or control group. The experimental group received the usual treatment for depression and underwent psychomotor therapy once a week for 12 weeks. The control group received the standard treatment for depression and underwent weekly telephone interviews. An assessment is scheduled at 1 month to evaluate the participant's health status, including any changes to treatment and assessment of anxiety and depressive symptoms. Another interim check-up is scheduled at 3 months to assess the patient's health status. The interview will also assess any changes to treatment, anxiety and depressive symptoms, quality of life, and psychomotor function. A final visit will be scheduled at 6 months for an assessment of the participant's health. The interview will also assess any changes to treatment, anxiety and depressive symptoms, quality of life, and psychomotor function.
The goal of this observational study is to explore the impact of pregnancy depression on infant feeding, and to explore the two-way relationship between postpartum depression and infant feeding. Participants will be asked to finish questionnaires four times (24 weeks of pregnancy to before delivery, 2 month postpartum, 4 month postpartum, 6 month postpartum).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of psilocybin on the symptom of anhedonia in individuals with treatment-resistant major depressive disorder.
The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effects of a Resilience and Stress Management Intervention Program (RASMUS) compared with yoga on stress perception, coping strategies, depressive symptoms, anxiety, resilience and quality of life in people diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD) in the short and long term. In addition to psychological factors, biological parameters will be examined to define biomarkers involved in stress response. In the optional neuroimaging part, the effects of the planned interventions on the structure, metabolism and function of the brain will be investigated. The epigenetic part, which is also optional, will examine the effects of the planned interventions on the histone modifications.
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the use of sedative ketamine to treat depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Veterans with mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI). The main questions it aims to answer are: - Efficacy of ketamine to reduce symptoms of depression and/or PTSD - Safety of ketamine to treat depression and/or PTSD in TBI Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either ketamine or midazolam (active placebo) twice a week for 3 weeks. During participation, subjects will be interviewed, have lab tests, and complete rating scales, and questionnaires.
