Filter by:DECIDE- Deep phenotyping for clinical inferring response in treatment resistant depression -Study Building upon the "Biobanking" initiative at the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry, the present project aims to identify clinically relevant subtypes of treatment-resistant depression (TRD) through Clinical Deep Phenotyping (CDP). According to clinical trials, 30-40% of the patients suffering from TRD benefit from lithium treatment. By collecting multimodal biological and clinical-diagnostic markers, such as structural and functional brain imaging via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), brain signals from electroencephalography, comprehensive blood tests, assessment of perception and cognition through neuropsychological testing, as well as the evaluation of specific depression symptoms and psychological and other comorbidities using standardized questionnaires, a bio-clinical signature will be identified using multivariate machine learning algorithms as an integration method. This signature aims to predict the response to lithium therapy in TRD. Prospectively, such an algorithm could later personalize the treatment decision of 'lithium administration in TRD'. This concept is in line with the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIH) and aims to offer lithium therapy as a personalized treatment strategy for TRD. Specifically, this means that the likelihood of treatment response can be estimated before administration based on the results of the present study, thus enabling lithium to be offered specifically to those patients who are likely to benefit from it. The study design is non-interventional, meaning the decision for lithium treatment is made for patients according to clinical routine in accordance with the recommendation of the German National Treatment Guideline (NVL) independent of study enrollment. Study participation does not influence treatment decisions for the patients.
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability and efficacy of a Norwegian adaptation of the group-based intervention 'Honest Open Proud' among adults with psychotic and bipolar disorders in an outpatient setting.
Background In developed countries, mortality rates in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) are around 4% and thus, most children admitted to these units survive. However, some pediatric survivors experience long-term morbidity (cognitive, psychological, social and/or physical disorders) associated with their intensive care stay. Currently in France, there are no recommendations for the management of these patients and most of them do not have standardized follow-up. Objectives Main objective: To assess the feasibility of implementing systematic and comprehensive management of pediatric patients who have been admitted to the PICU. Intermediate objectives are to study: - The needs of the children and their families which should be met by this management - The acceptability of this organizational innovation for all the actors involved - The cooperation between actors of the hospital and city health system + social professionals involved - The costs of implementation and the budgetary impact of such a system Methods Needs assessment: questionnaires and interviews with patients and their families (parents and possibly siblings if involved) to collect the medico-psycho-social impact of the PICU stay at the time of discharge and 3 months later. Study of acceptability: quantitative survey of health professionals involved in the care of these children and expected care modalities. This includes pediatric intensivists, professionals from the children's usual care services (if applicable), attending physician. Study of cooperation: analysis of needs and of the network usually solicited for the children benefiting from this care: who is identified, who remains to be identified, obstacles. Quantitative analysis of consultation reports and survey of professionals. Budgetary impact analysis: study of the cost of setting up consultations for the health care system, and study of its financial and health consequences for the main needs identified, on the basis of data from the literature and expert opinions Perspectives Compare the benefit of this systematic, multi professional and comprehensive management of pediatric patients after PICU discharge versus standard of care
This study aimed to determine the feasibility and acceptability of delivering Resilience Training in multi-user virtual reality.
The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an behavioral activation intervention to increase meaningful activity and community participation for people with serious mental illness. The overall objective of this study is to increase engagement in meaningful activities and community participation. The objectives of the project are as follows: 1. To determine if the intervention leads to increases the frequency and variety of activities. 2. To determine if the intervention leads to increases in community mobility. 3. To determine which demographic and environmental factors and mechanisms of action impact the effectiveness of the intervention. 4. To determine if the the intervention leads to an improvement in overall well-being (e.g., improved quality of life). Participants will be asked to attend a 2-hour weekly online session for 10 weeks and then a 1-hour online monthly session for a 3 month maintenance period. For data collection, participants will also be asked to: 1. Complete three, approximately 1-hour interviews at baseline, after the 10 week intervention, and again at the end of the maintenance period; 2. Carry a mobile phone with a global positioning system app to track their movements outside their home for 2 weeks at a time, at three separate times (e.g., baseline, after the intervention, and at the end of the maintenance period); and 3. Complete a 15 minute weekly interviews for 26 weeks about their daily activities and participation. The study will enroll 52 participants split into 4 cohorts of 13. The study will use a multiple baseline design and, as such, all participants will receive the intervention and there is no control group.
The primary objective of the study is to characterize the pharmacokinetics of 3 formulations of olanzapine. A secondary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 3 formulations of olanzapine. Another secondary objective is to characterize the pharmacokinetics of ZYPREXA. The planned duration of the study for each participant is 19 weeks.
The aim of this randomised clinical trial is to evaluate the short and longterm effects of a transdiagnostic mentalization-based intervention (Lighthouse MBT Parenting Program) compared to care as usal (CAU) for parents with a mental disorder in adult mental health service.
Few studies have evaluated, in patients with symptomatology the impact of cannabis use on the duration of hospitalization and on short- and medium-term developments. The objective of this study will be to assess the impact of cannabis on the duration, the hospitalization and the short- and medium-term evolution of patients with psychotic symptoms and cannabis use. We hypothesize that these patients (in comparison with patients with psychotic symptomatology and not using cannabis) would be hospitalized more long, exposed to a higher risk of resistance to the usual therapeutics, would have a lack of therapeutic alliance and insight, relapses and hospitalizations more frequent, more marked negative symptoms and lower quality remission. They would also be more prone to impulsive and aggressive behaviour.
The study will compare standard high-intensity training with brief high-intensity training in people with schizophrenia-spectrum or bipolar disorder. The overall aim is to determine which of the two is superior in a long-term perspective.
This study aims to validate the Lithuanian version of the Brief Negative Symptoms Scale, Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia, and Schizophrenia Cognition Rating Scale in a Lithuanian sample. This will be done by comparing results obtained from the Brief Negative Symptoms Scale, Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia, and Schizophrenia Cognition Rating Scale with results obtained from the Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale, the Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale, and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment test.
