Filter by:This is a 12-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, fixed-dose, parallel-group study that will investigate the efficacy and safety of two doses of TNX-102 SL -a sublingual formulation of cyclobenzaprine. Following successful screening and randomization, eligible subjects will return regularly to the study clinic for weekly or biweekly visits for assessments of efficacy and safety.
Approximately 50% of persons seeking treatment for cannabis-use disorders (CUDs) regularly smoke tobacco. Combining tobacco with cannabis has become a common method of smoking cannabis. Similarities of use, and using together, can make quitting difficult. Stopping tobacco simultaneously with cannabis may be beneficial. Little scientific information currently addresses how to best target tobacco smoking during treatment for CUDs. Our long-term goal is to develop an effective protocol for intervening in tobacco smoking without changing cannabis outcomes. This protocol reflects the planned Stage 1, proof-of-concept study that will compare a combined cannabis and tobacco intervention to one that targets CUD only. Hypotheses assert that the intervention (1) will be accepted by the majority of eligible participants (2) will result in more tobacco quit attempts and rates than the CUD-only treatment; and (3) will not adversely affect cannabis outcomes. Last, the project will evaluate the potential of specific moderators of outcomes to predict outcomes and inform subsequent treatment development efforts. If the hypotheses were confirmed, dissemination of this protocol would reduce adverse psychosocial and health consequences of tobacco or cannabis dependence. Findings will inform future development of prevention and intervention strategies.
The purpose of this study is to determine wether peer support is effective for the treatment of people with severe mental illness.
The purpose of this study is to see how well a treatment called "Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation" works for patients who struggle with symptoms of both posttraumatic stress disorder and major depressive disorder.
This study aims at evaluating the effect of vortioxetine on cognitive dysfunction in major depressive disorder (MDD) patients with inadequate response to current antidepressant treatment.
Bipolar disorder (BD) is a chronic, often disabling illness, and many individuals remain symptomatic despite pharmacotherapy. Significant mood variability often persists throughout the lifespan and predicts relapse, leading to functional impairment. Metabolism of dietary essential polyunsaturated fatty acids has been shown to be upstream of the neuroinflammatory processes that may lead to neurotoxicity and chronicity of illness in BD. The investigators hypothesize that an intervention diet designed to alter intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids that augments mood stabilizing medications will reduce inflammation; and that the reduction of inflammation will reduce mood variability in bipolar disorder. After a two-the investigatorsek baseline-monitoring period, the investigators will randomize individuals with BD to an intervention or a control diet. Mood will be measured daily using a smartphone. Phase 2 will consist of 12 the investigatorseks of a less intense intervention. Follow-up will then be completed at 6, 9, and 12 months post-baseline to assess for recurrence of mood episodes. By maintaining a certain diet in addition to taking mood-stabilizing medication, researchers hope to see whether specific dietary plans have any bearing on mood variability.
The investigators will be looking at MAO-A density before and after seven weeks of treatment with an antidepressant and dietary supplement. MAO-A is an enzyme that breaks down brain chemicals that regulate mood. MAO-A density is elevated in patients with major depressive episodes (MDE) secondary to major depressive disorder (MDD). Many remain treatment resistant with common antidepressant treatments and we think it may be due to poor targeting of brain pathologies. We want to test if adding a dietary supplement may normalize MAO-A.
This research study tests whether GLYX-13 - an experimental drug that acts on a brain receptor called NMDA - can decrease symptoms of OCD within hours. This is not a treatment study. Results from this study will allow doctors and researchers to better understand if you and others with OCD may respond to a class of medications that target the NMDA brain receptor.
This is a randomized controlled 6-month trial of the efficacy of a novel intervention combining neuroplasticity-based cognitive training with aerobic exercise, compared to the same systematic cognitive training alone. The primary treatment targets are overall cognitive deficit level and independent living skills. The investigators hypothesize that combining neuroplasticity-based computerized cognitive training and neurotrophin-enhancing physical exercise will produce large cognitive and functional improvements, even relative to cognitive training alone. Adding aerobic exercise to a cognitive training program will have the additional benefit of helping to ameliorate medication side effects, reduce the risk for developing metabolic syndrome, and help to prevent the deterioration in physical health that usually follows the onset of schizophrenia and its pharmacologic treatment. The investigators target the period shortly after a first episode of schizophrenia to maximize the generalization of cognitive improvement to functional outcome, before chronic disability is established.
This 8-week, pilot randomized, controlled trial to evaluate the benefits of transdiagnostic Internet-based CBT (iCBT) in young adults with MDD, SAD, PD or GAD. The investigators hypothesize that patients who receive iCBT will show significant improvement in anxiety symptoms and functioning, compared to a wait-list group. This pilot randomized controlled study will assess the efficacy of transdiagnostic iCBT in 60 young adults.
