Filter by:Background: ECT is an effective treatment indicated for patients with treatment resistant depression. Although most patients display some degree of recovery, 32-52% do not respond or remit at all. Considering the possible side effects and the considerably high cost of treatment, it is important to identify sub-populations that would benefit the most from ECT. In the current study we sought to identify predictive molecular markers in the blood of depressed patients who are responsive to ECT. Methods: Patients, ages 18-70, with the diagnosis of treatment-resistant depression will be recruited. Participants will undergo psychiatric and psychological assessments, before (baseline) and 12 weeks after ECT initiation. Assessments will include the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRAS), Clinical Global Improvement and Severity Scales (CGI-S, CGI-I), Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (IDS), and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Blood samples for serum and isolation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)will be collected at baseline and the 12-week end-of-treatment time points for molecular analysis.
The primary purpose of the study is to evaluate the positive detection accuracy (PDA) and detection latency measures of the D-Tect patch.
This study contributes new evidence for the identification of adolescent TRD and sheds light on differing pathophysiologies by delineating distinct plasma metabolic profiles between adolescent TRD and FEDN-MDD.
An observational-comparative study, without interfering with the treatment, based on an operationalized interview.
Evidence-based medicine suggests that acupuncture can improve major depressive disorder (MDD). However, the prevalent reliance on experiential acupoint selection lacks scientific underpinning. The investigators conducted a comparative study involving MDD patients and healthy subjects, employing modern techniques to discern biological specificity in MDD-related acupoints. Additionally, the investigators investigated potential correlations between acupoint biological specificity and MDD severity.
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of accelerated iTBS in adults diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder. The main question it aims to answer is: What is the efficacy and tolerability of an accelerated iTBS regimen without radiological imaging in adults who have been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and experience treatment resistant symptoms? Participants will complete 36 iTBS treatments in an accelerated schedule over five days. They will also complete several clinical assessments throughout their enrollment to evaluate their depressive symptoms and response to treatment.
This study will examine the efficacy of digital CBT versus waitlist in improving symptoms for adults with Major Depressive Disorder.
Achieving results from RCTs with high internal and external validity is a major challenge within psychiatry due to the nature of psychiatric illnesses. The Investigators will conduct a "real world" naturalistic nation-wide population-based longitudinal register linkage study comparing long-term responses to all kinds of antidepressants in patients with major depressive disorder emulating a randomized trial.
Objective: The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to compare the efficacy and safety of sertraline and escitalopram in participants with moderate to severe major depressive disorder (MDD). Methods: A total of 744 participants with moderate to severe MDD were randomly assigned to receive either sertraline or escitalopram for 8 weeks. Drug dosages and titration schedules were based on the recommendations of the prescribing information for each product and according to the judgment of the clinicians involved in the study. The primary outcome measures were changes from baseline on the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) and the Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scale as well as frequency of adverse events in both groups.
This study was a single-arm, non-randomized, open-label clinical study to assess dopamine transporter occupancy in the brain of healthy adults using 11C-CFT positron emission tomography (PET)
