This clinical study is designed to test the hypothesis that lurasidone is effective, tolerable, and safe for the treatment of patients with bipolar I depression
NCT00552760
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treating sleep difficulties in patients with bipolar disorder also improves their mood stability.
NCT01932749
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of repetitive TMS in reduction of depressive symptoms in patients with bipolar disorder. In a randomized, single blind clinical trials, 30 patients with bipolar disorder in Atieh Neuroscience center will be assigned to receive bilateral TMS and unilateral TMS, daily; for 20 sessions. The depressive and anxiety symptoms and quality of life will be assessed before the treatment (pre test) during the treatment (10th session), and after the treatment (post test). QEEG apply before and after rTMS in all subjects.
NCT01822678
Multicentre, double-blind, randomised, parallel-group, placebo-controlled dose-titration study; depending on clinical efficacy, up-titration of dosage 3 and 6 days after start of treatment; maintenance of individual maximum dose for the rest of the total 3-week treatment period; subsequently, down-titration (according to the dose steps and the time intervals of up-titration) and administration of an established anti-manic therapy during the tapering-off period (in patients who discontinued treatment) or entry into a recurrence prevention study (Protocol PRA+SCO/BIA-2093-205; reported under separate cover) as an option for patients who responded to the study treatment
NCT02090335
The goal of this project, which has not changed, is to improve the health and fitness of persons with serious mental illness (SMI) using an innovative model: In SHAPE Lifestyles. Participants are randomly assigned to the In SHAPE program or Health Club Membership and Education only. The three specific aims of this study are to: 1. To compare the treatment groups with respect to improvement in physical fitness outcomes, including: (a) health behaviors (engagement in exercise and diet changes); and (b) indicators of physical fitness. 2. To compare the treatment groups with respect to improvements in mental health outcomes, including negative symptoms, depression, and self-efficacy. 3. To explore differences in the treatment groups with respect to psychosocial functioning, health status, and acute service use, and the effects of selected demographic, clinical, and health behavior variables on primary outcomes.
NCT00606229
To assess the safety and efficacy of long-term administration of aripiprazole in combination with mood stabilizer (lithium or valproate) in an unblinded manner in patients with Bipolar I Disorder experiencing a manic or mixed episode
NCT01181960
The purpose of this study is to build a data repository that can be used to understand pharmaceutical utilization patterns among patients being treated in community behavioral health organizations (CBHOs) for schizophrenia or bipolar I disorder.
NCT00606320
To assess the safety and efficacy of long-term administration of aripiprazole by performing extended administration of aripiprazole in combination with mood stabilizer (lithium or valproate) in an unblinded manner to those patients who completed the preceding multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group-comparison trial of aripiprazole in patients with bipolar disorder experiencing a manic or mixed episode (Study 031-06-003, hereafter "Study 003") but whose condition worsened or remained unchanged or who discontinued Study 003 between Day 14 and Day 21 due to lack of drug efficacy.
NCT01447082
The main objective of this observational study is to characterize new users of quetiapine XR as well as new users of other study drugs (i.e. the comparison group) and to quantify the risk of developing newly diagnosed outcomes of interest in new users of quetiapine XR as well as in other study drugs.
NCT02050854
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of aripiprazole in subjects with Bipolar 1 Disorder or Schizophrenia who have a history of suboptimal aderence and are currently on treatment with oral aripiprazole.
NCT01457235
Cognitive remediation (CR) is a new psychological treatment, which aims to improve cognitive function and coping skills. Several studies have recently demonstrated that CR improves cognitive and occupational function in patients with schizophrenia and with depression (e.g. Wykes et al 2007, Elgamal et al 2007). However, it is unclear whether CR improves cognitive and socio-occupational function in individuals with bipolar disorder (BD) and, if so, what impact this might have on these people's abilities in terms of work, coping strategies, quality of life, and everyday safety. The aim of the present PhD study is to investigate if CR has beneficial effects on cognitive and socio-occupational function in patients with previous mania and depression who experience persistent cognitive difficulties. Such effects would suggest implementation of CR in future treatment of bipolar disorder in order to facilitate the patients' ability to cope with the responsibilities related to work and everyday life. The hypotheses of the present study are that CR (in comparison to standard treatment) will 1) improve verbal learning and recall; and 2) improve sustained attention, executive function and psychosocial function.
NCT01821469
This research project follows two main objectives: 1) Assess anatomical and functional cerebral abnormalities in bipolar disorder. 2) Evaluate anatomical and functional changes after the application of a psychoeducational program in these patients. Specifically, this project aims to assess neurophysiological (fMRI - activation and functional connectivity) and neuroanatomical (morphometry and diffusion tensor imaging) specificities related to bipolar disorders and the therapeutic response to the psychoeducation. The results of this thesis project would also contribute to the validation of a pathophysiological model of the bipolar disorder.
NCT01795326
A physician survey to document receipt of metabolic educational materials and assess behavior of physicians in following messages communicated through the educational materials
NCT01282281
Background: Most psychotropic medications that are effective in the treatment of Bipolar Disorder (BD) are associated with endocrine-metabolic changes (EMCs). To date, there is no long-term study in BD that has examined specifically the association of inflammation with EMCs in BD. Specific aims: 1) to identify predictors of EMCs among adolescents and adults with BD who are being started on a medication ; 2) to compare change in EMCs in youth and adults treated for BD; 3) to measure change in EMCs associated with use of different medications for BD. Research Design: Participants: 30 adolescents (14-18 years old) with BD and 30 adults (19-65 years old) with BD. Measures: Blood levels of biomarkers that are associated with EMCs will be measured.
NCT01196858
During the 1990s, evidence began to emerge of the long duration of untreated illness prior to receiving treatment for patients with psychotic disorders. Studies across the world on first episode psychosis have consistently found an average of 1 - 2 years between the onset of psychotic symptoms and the start of treatment. Lengthy treatment delay has immediate implications such as unnecessary distress for patients and families, and may also compromise potential recovery when treatment is initiated.By understanding how and why substantial delays occur the investigators may be able to better design interventions to facilitate better earlier treatment. The components of DUP can be conceptualised as comprising 3 distinct intervals: help-seeking delay, referral delay and delay in mental health services. In this study the primary aim is to establish the level of DUP in nordland, and explore the components of this variable. Help-seeking delay will be investigated by interviewing patients presenting at the central mental health hospital in Nordland about their psychosis onset and pathways to care. Referral delay will be investigated by a questionnaire about the referral pratices among GPs in Nordland. Delays in mental health services will be investigated by focus group interviews with leaders and professionals at the 7 community mental health centers in Nordland. This knowledge is believed to be crucial for developing services that can reduce DUP and give this patient population earlier access to adequate treatment.
NCT00232414
In this study, quetiapine is being tested for the possible treatment of bipolar I disorder with an acute depressive episode in children and adolescents. We hypothesize that quetiapine will be more efficacious than placebo for the treatment of episodes of major depression associated with adolescent BP. Moreover, we hypothesize that quetiapine will be safe and well-tolerated compared with placebo for the treatment of depression associated with adolescent BP. Based on data from the BOLDER study and other studies of atypical antipsychotics in patients with bipolar depression (Calabrese et al., 2004, Macfadden et al., 2004, Tohen et al., 2004), which in general reveal effect sizes of approximately 0.5, a conservative sample size calculation, assuming power of .8, estimates we would need approximately 15 patients in each group to identify a statistically significant group difference in our main outcome measure, change form baseline to endpoint in the Children's Depression Rating Scale (Poznanski, 1979).
NCT02005367
A person-centered substance use treatment component, the Natural Recovery Program, was developed in a residential substance use treatment setting. The Natural Recovery Program is comprised of small group therapy combined with pursuit of hobbies. The study examined treatment retention, treatment completion and satisfaction of participants of Natural Recovery compared to those who participated in core residential treatment activities alone.
NCT00845988
The primary goal of this study is to investigate metabolic changes and maintaining efficacy in stabilized patients with bipolar disorders who have pharmacologically induced weight gain.
NCT00665366
The purpose of the study is to determine whether aripiprazole provides additional clinical benefit to patients with Bipolar I disorder when combined with lithium or valproate over 12 weeks.
NCT01992302
In this study we tried to elucidate the factors associated with the development of a rapid cycling course in bipolar disorder patients, in a prospective and longitudinal design, and the role of antidepressants. The identification of risk factors is extremely relevant from the clinical point of view. We hypothesized that rapid cycling bipolar disorder is associated with more chronicity, poor outcome, and more antidepressant prescription.
