Filter by:The primary goal of the proposed study is to compare the effectiveness of universal school based screening for adolescent major depressive disorder to the current school process of targeted screening based on concerning behavior.
This multi-site, double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled mechanistic trial aims to test the effects of Magnus Neuromodulation System (MNS) with Stanford Accelerated Intermittent Neuromodulation Therapy (SAINT®) Technology on the neural circuitry of suicidal cognitions in psychiatrically hospitalized patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and active suicidal ideation (SI). This will be accomplished by applying the MNS with SAINT to a customized target within the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (L-DLPFC) identified with fMRI for five consecutive days and measuring resting-state functional connectivity (RS FC) between the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC) and the default mode network (DMN) at baseline and immediate-post visit. The relationship between changes in RS FC and changes in both Explicit and Implicit Suicidal Cognitions (ESC and ISC, respectively) will be determined. This study will also determine the relationship between changes in RS FC in neural networks underlying mediators of suicidal cognitions and changes in such mediators with active versus sham SAINT.
This is an open-label study evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of SAGE-217 in the treatment of participants with bipolar I/II disorder with a current major depressive episode.
This study aims at investigating if adjunctive buprenorphine at low dose to treatment as usual is effective in reducing severe suicidal ideas in major depressive episode, and at determining the most effective dose.
This study will determine whether the Medibio Depression Diagnostic Aid exceeds minimally acceptable thresholds for sensitivity and sensitivity in cases with a current depression episode and non-depressed controls.
The purpose of this study is to monitor microglial activation in participants with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and investigate the relationship that exists between these patients and their risk of acquiring major depressive episodes (MDE). Patients with both IBD and MDE will be subsequently approached to participate in the study.
Lithium is highly effective in the treatment of bipolar disorder. This study aims to investigate, for the first time, the impact of lithium monotherapy on the structural and functional connectivity of the brain using MRI imaging.
The primary purpose is to compare with resting fMRI the functional networks of rest (RTS) in unipolar depression and in bipolar depression. Hypothesis : the main objective of this work is to compare with the rest fMRI the Rest Functional Networks (RFN) in the unipolar depression and in the bipolar depression in order to identify specific biomarkers for each affection. The general hypothesis of this work is that intra- and inter RFN connectivity is different between bipolar patients and unipolar patients. Specifically the investigators assume that connectivity within the default mode network (including ventral mediofrontal cortex, subgenual cingulate cortex, inferior parietal cortex, posterior cingulate cortex) will be increased in unipolar patients compared to bipolar patients.
Randomised, controlled, parallel-group, pilot clinical trial of ketamine vs. midazolam as an adjunctive therapy for depression. The main purpose of the pilot study is to assess trial processes to help inform a future definitive trial.
We hope to demonstrate that magnetic resonance spectroscopy can detect brain concentration levels of paroxetine (Paxil) or citalopram (Celexa) or escitalopram (Lexapro) in depressed patients.
