Filter by: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).
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is worldwide one of the most prevalent and disabling mental health conditions. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a safe and effective treatment even though 6-month relapse rates are high. Cognitive side effects of ECT, such as reduced cognitive control, might trigger mechanisms that increase relapse in patients. As such, cognitive control training (CCT) holds promise as a non-pharmacological strategy to improve long-term effects of ECT (i.e., increase remission, and reduce depression relapse).
The goal of this study is to test whether an investigational mobile app can be a helpful treatment option for adolescents with symptoms of depression. Adolescents aged 13 to 21 with depression symptoms can be part of this study if eligible. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group will receive the mobile app intervention in addition to their usual care and the other group will simply continue their usual care for symptoms of depression. Both groups will have 5 weeks to use a study app, and will complete assessments during the intervention period, at post-intervention, and at one month follow-up.
The investigators compare the primary and secondary outcome measures using accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (aiTBS, 20 sessions active and 20 sessions sham in a counterbalanced crossover design) to treat depressive symptoms with 2 parallel arms of intervention: personalized (stimulation position based on participants' brain networks) vs conventional (stimulation in F3 position of the 10-20 EEG cap) aiTBS.
This study is a large population-based analysis in the United Kingdom (UK) using routine primary care data to investigate the risk of mental health conditions in children, adolescents and young adults with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, compared to those without Inflammatory Bowel Disease. The study will also compare the impacts on quality-of-life outcomes and use of healthcare services between people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease with and without mental health conditions.
This cohort study is a large population-based study in the UK to determine the risks of comorbid mental health conditions (including depression, anxiety and other potential psychological complications of vitiligo) in adults with vitiligo compared to controls and to evaluate whether the relative risks may vary by different ethnicity.
Many patients with depression do not respond well to medication and are diagnosed with treatment refractory depression (TRD). Sometimes medications don't work because an individual metabolizes the drugs in an atypical manner (too fast/slow). Alternatively, drugs may fail to work because the underlying sub-type of depression is not effectively targeted by a medication. This study will use genetic testing of subjects with TRD to personalize the drug treatment of depression and guide the patient to a better clinical outcome. In the guided group, the clinician will receive a pharmacogenetic report to help individually tailor medication selection for TRD patients, potentially allowing the clinician to pick more effective medications right away, and when necessary, use drug combinations that are well-tolerated and less likely to cause unwanted side effects. The control group will receive a sham genetic report and be treated according to typical standards of care. The investigators will conduct our study in a "real world" setting, with few restrictions on which TRD patients can participate. In this way, the findings may be more likely to reveal how useful genetic testing will be when applied more broadly in psychiatry.
This study series consists of four related studies and aims to explore and describe many important elements of alopecia areata over three key areas: (1) the current epidemiology of alopecia areata, (2) the prevalence and incidence of psychiatric co-morbidities in people with alopecia areata, (3) the prevalence and incidence of autoimmune and atopic conditions in people with alopecia areata, and (4) the incidence of common infections in people with alopecia areata.
This study aims to investigate the effects of individualized repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of parieto-hippocampal functional connectivity in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). Specifically, patients will be randomized to one of three groups and will receive 15 days of rTMS over three weeks. Each day they will receive one active session of rTMS over the dorsolateral parietal cortex (DLPFC) and depending on group assignment another session either A) active rTMS over DLPFC, B) active rTMS over left and right lateral parietal cortex (LPC), or C) sham rTMS over DLPFC or LPC. Stimulation targets in the LPC will be individualized for each patient based on their resting-state functional connectivity between the hippocampus and LPC. Clinical, neuropsychological and fMRI data will be acquired before and after the treatment course.
The study examines whether people primarily want to confirm their prior attitudes in health-related information search, in an online environment using social tags for navigation. Participants were looking for information on the treatment of depression with antidepressants and psychotherapy. They were randomly assigned to two groups with either high or low credibility of the community who provides social tags, and two groups where participants' confidence in prior attitudes was heightened or lowered, and to two groups where either antidepressant tags were more popular or psychotherapy was more popular. The investigators measured attitude change toward the treatments and also navigation behavior.
