Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine if candidate polymorphisms in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and catechol-o-methyl transferase (COMT) are predictive of psychosis disorder severity, symptomology, and resolution in patients at BCPP. A secondary objective will be to form a biorepository of blood and saliva samples from patients at BCPP so that further genetic, proteonomic and pharmacogenomic studies may be done to gain insight into the genetic basis of differences in psychosis disorder presentation and manifestation, and differences in response to antipsychotic drug treatment.
There is currently limited research that addresses the unique medication safety and family planning needs among women of reproductive age with psychiatric conditions. The study will research the feasibility of a novel individualized 1-on-1 counseling session at the Gifford Clinic in the Department of Psychiatry at UCSD that will help women in this population better understand: 1) which of their medications are safe to use in pregnancy, 2) provide education regarding the importance of using contraception and which contraceptive choices are available to them, and 3) raise awareness of any drug-drug interactions that may exist between their medications and their chosen method of contraception. Patients will be given questionnaire to assess their contraceptive utilization. They will also be given a before and after quiz to allow for an objective measure of the patient's increase in knowledge regarding medication safety and contraceptive choices as a result of the investigators intervention.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in the prevention of relapse of the symptoms of schizoaffective disorder. Primary Outcome Measures:Time between subject randomization to treatment and the first occurrence of a relapse during the Relapse Prevention Period. Secondary Outcome Measures: Symptom change as measured by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total and PANSS factor scores; Illness severity change as measured by Clinical Global Impression of Severity for depression (CGI-S-DEP); Change in subject functioning using the Personal and Social Performance Scale; Change in subject medication satisfaction using the Medication Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ).
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is one of the oldest neuromodulation treatments still used in psychiatry. Only case reports and open label non-randomized studies have been published of ECT in clozapine-resistant schizophrenia patients. The purpose of this trial is to study the efficacy and cognitive effects of add-on ECT treatment (10-course) in schizophrenia patients taking clozapine.
This study assess the safety and effects of atypical antipsychotics in subjects with psychosis syndrome and psychosis risk syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to develope web-based cognitive behavioral therapy for Korean adoldescents who have a mild depression. And we will investigate whether web-based cognitive behavioral therapy is more effective than supportive psychotherapy for treating depressed adolescents.
