Filter by:The purpose of the study is to conduct a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of D-cycloserine (DCS) augmentation of behavior therapy in individuals with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). Specifically, we intend to randomize 50 individuals with BDD to receive either DCS (n = 25) or placebo (n = 25) one hour prior to 8 of 10 behavior therapy sessions.
The primary purpose is to study the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of LY2216684 as an adjunctive treatment for participants with major depressive disorder (MDD), who were identified as partial responders to an adequate course of treatment with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) (as defined by history).
The investigators propose that patients who receive targeted pharmacotherapy (sertraline) or focused psychotherapy (cognitive behavioral therapy-informed psychotherapy (CBT-ip) for NES) or combined treatment (CBT-ip + sertraline) will report fewer nonepileptic seizures (NES) compared to patients who receive community care / treatment as usual (TAU). The purpose of this study is to provide pilot testing and data to inform the future multicenter randomized controlled trial based on the hypothesis.
This is an open-label pilot study of omega-3 fatty acids (Lovaza) for hypertriglyceridemia in subjects who have been on an atypical (second-generation) antipsychotic medication. The investigators hypotheses are that patients who receive Lovaza will experience a significant decrease in triglycerides from baseline. Secondary hypotheses include: Patients will experience a significant decrease in total cholesterol, and Lovaza will be well tolerated.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of desvenlafaxine succinate sustained release tablets during 10-month open-label treatment of Japanese subjects with major depressive disorder (MDD). The secondary objective is to evaluate the long-term response of subjects receiving desvenlafaxine succinate sustained release tablets by clinical global evaluation, general well-being and absence of symptoms.
RATIONALE: Giving an infusion of natural killer cells from a donor after a donor stem cell transplant may help kill any remaining cancer cells after the transplant. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of donor natural killer cells when given after a donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with advanced cancer.
Our study's purpose is to show the efficacy of the transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non invasive method of cerebral modulation) in patients suffering from chronic obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). This new method will be applied in 20 patients during 4 weeks (5 sessions each week), and its effects on OCD symptoms will be compared to those of a "sham" (=placebo) stimulation applied with the same process in 20 other patients, randomly assigned to the comparison group. The maintenance of the therapeutic effects will be explored during 8 weeks following the end of the treatment. In addition to classical scales used to measure the treatment effects, all patients will be examined using a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) before and after treatment to explore the cerebral effects of rTMS
This continuation study evaluates the long-term outcomes of multimodal, modular interventions with early-onset behavior disordered children and innovative methods to promote the maintenance and extension of treatment effects relating to ODD and CD. All participants originally enrolled in the "parent" clinical trial are being followed and those who initially received clinic or community based intervention from a study clinician were randomly assigned to either Booster or No-booster treatment condition. The treatment-as-usual (TAU) and Healthy Control participants were also followed through long-term follow-up assessments paralleling clinically referred participants. The study examines the short and long-term efficacy of booster treatment on clinical outcome, contextual variables, and service satisfaction/use.
This is a 36-week, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The overarching aim of this study is to assess whether a nutritional intervention (Omega-3 supplement), when combined with a more traditional treatment approach to conduct disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), is more effective than either approach alone in treating these conditions in children and adolescents. The research questions cannot be answered through alternative means because disruptive behaviour disorders are primarily childhood disorders.
The major goal of this project is to adapt an existing group-based psychosocial program to enhance community functioning in older people with serious mental illness (SMI). The focus of the adaptation is designing and evaluating an individually based rehabilitative program for older people with SMI who either cannot or choose not to access a group program.
