NCT02634177
In this randomized clinical trial, subjects will be assigned to either an assay-guided treatment condition (AGT) or a treatment-as-usual condition (TAU). All subjects will provide a DNA sample at the Screening Visit for the Genecept Assay ™. In the AGT condition, assay results will be provided to the treating investigator, who will use the results to guide antidepressant pharmacotherapy. In the TAU condition, the investigator will treat the subjects without the knowledge of the pharmacogenetic testing results. Assay results for all subjects will be provided to the investigator once all Week 8 visit procedures have been completed. Raters of the primary endpoint assessment and subjects will remain blinded to treatment assignment.
NCT03169543
From 40 to 60% of patients with depression experience a rapid and significant improvement of mood with one night of sleep deprivation (SD). The neural mechanisms underlying this effect have not been elucidated. Recent advances in functional neuroimaging have provided new opportunities to investigate state changes in regional brain function, along with a better understanding of the neural networks affected by depression and SD. Here we propose to study a group of N=48 antidepressant-free male and female patients with current depression symptom and N=12 healthy controls with no history of mood disorders before and after SD to provide mechanistic insight into the neural substrates underlying the antidepressant effects of SD. We hypothesize that SD-induced concurrent functional activity and connectivity changes in multiple brain networks related to different depressive symptom dimensions including emotion regulation, attention, arousal, self-referential, and reward processing will underlie the rapid and transient antidepressant effects of SD. Using an ABA design, multimodal brain imaging along with more traditional electroencephalographic (EEG) and neurobehavioral testing data will be acquired at baseline after normal sleep, during one night of total SD, and after one night of recovery sleep using a 5-day in laboratory protocol during which subjects will be continuously monitored by trained staff.
NCT01784991
This is a study about the efficiency and safety of a 1mg+1mg hydromorphone pain management protocol for the treatment of moderate to sever pain in the Emergency Department. Appropriate patients 60 years and older who present with a condition that causes moderate to severe pain, according to the attending physician's judgment, in which the physician would order the use of parenteral analgesia will be enrolled in one of two study arms, "1+1" versus usual care group. 1+1 patients will receive 1mg hydromorphone followed by another 1mg after 15 minutes if pain persists. Usual care group patients will have pain treated per the discretion of the attending physician. Respiratory status, vital signs, and pain scores will be monitor to assess the efficiency of pain control as well as the safety of pain medicine administration in terms of respiratory depression.
NCT02109939
Evaluate the impact of GeneSight Psychotropic on response to psychotropic treatment as judged by the mean change in the 17-item Hamilton Depression (HAM-D17) score from baseline to end of Week 8 of the study.
NCT03441399
The investigators will test using financial incentives by leveraging decision-making biases to improve adherence to antidepressants among adults newly prescribed antidepressants. This study will compare the effects of usual care, increasing financial incentives, and decreasing financial incentives on daily antidepressant medication adherence and depression symptom control of non-elderly adults with Major Depressive Disorder.
NCT02440594
The purpose of the current project is to conduct a program evaluation that examines the impact of the The SUpporting Seniors Receiving Treatment And INtervention (SUSTAIN) program - a telephone-based clinical service designed to help identify and manage behavioral health issues among enrollees in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Aging's Pharmaceutical Assistance Contract for the Elderly and the PACE Needs Enhancement Tier Program (PACE/PACENET) - on enrollee outcomes and to evaluate the feasibility and impact of an enhancement to the current clinical program.
NCT03234439
Chronic pain is becoming increasingly more prevalent worldwide. High rates of co-morbid psychological distress are also commonly found among individuals living with chronic pain. Often requiring a multi-modal treatment approach, a growing body of literature suggests that digital behavioral health interventions and tools may serve as promising complementary options to help individuals cope with the pain.
NCT02141399
This is a 52-week open-label study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ALKS 5461.
NCT01469377
An outpatient study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of cariprazine as adjunct to antidepressant therapy (ADT) in participants with major depressive disorder (MDD) who have an inadequate response to ADT alone. This clinical study compared cariprazine + ADT with placebo + ADT in outpatients with a diagnosis of MDD and an inadequate response to ADT. The study consisted of approximately 2 weeks of screening and washout followed by 8 weeks of double-blind treatment followed by a 1 week safety follow-up.
NCT01098318
Prior research has shown that Rhodiola rosea may be an effective, short-term, anti-depressant therapy. This study will examine the anti-depressant effect of Rhodiola rosea vs. a conventional, anti-depressant drug in the treatment of major depression.
NCT01121536
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of long term (6 months) armodafinil treatment as adjunctive therapy to mood-stabilizing medications in adults with bipolar I disorder.
NCT01838876
The objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of cariprazine as an adjunctive treatment to antidepressant therapy (ADT) in patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).
NCT02670551
This study investigates the efficacy of a fixed-dose regimen of cariprazine 1.5 milligram (mg)/day or 3 mg/day compared to placebo for treatment of the depressive episode in participants with bipolar I disorder. The safety and tolerability of the fixed-dose regimens will be evaluated.
NCT01167608
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder in the elderly. In most people, the illness is complicated by co-occurring psychiatric problems such as depression and anxiety. These non-motor concerns negatively affect the course and management of the disease, often leading to poor outcomes for both patients and their families. Despite these deleterious consequences, psychiatric symptoms in PD are both underreported by patients as well as under-recognized and under-treated by health care providers. The primary purpose of this study is to identify and describe barriers to mental healthcare utilization for people with Parkinson's disease. Secondary objectives include the assessment of attitudes and preferences regarding the need for mental health services in the PD community and the acceptability of telehealth interventions as a method for improving access and quality of care. In order to accomplish these aims, participants will be asked to fill out an anonymous survey which will take about 15-30 minutes to complete. To best accommodate PD patients with varying levels of disability, participants will have the option to complete the survey online, on paper, or over the phone. The information obtained from this study will be used to support future treatment development efforts (i.e., phone and internet based interventions, community based trainings with local providers) intended to improve access and quality of mental health care for people with PD. To the best of the investigators knowledge, this is the first study to systematically examine barriers to mental healthcare utilization in PD in a national sample.
NCT01914393
This is an open-label, 104-week, multicenter, extension study designed to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability and effectiveness of flexibly dosed lurasidone (20, 40, 60 or 80 mg/day) in pediatric subjects who have completed the 6-week treatment period in the preceding studies, D1050301, D1050325, and D1050326
NCT03149991
This is a multi-site, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of the acute efficacy of brexpiprazole or placebo in combination with intranasal ketamine added to ongoing, stable, and adequate antidepressant therapy (ADT) in the treatment of adults with Major Depressive Disorder with Treatment Resistant Depression.
NCT03721900
The purpose of this study is to measure the amount of ketamine in blood over time in subjects diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and explore the anti-depressive effects of ketamine delivered by transdermal patch.
NCT01204918
This study aims to examine the antidepressant efficacy of riluzole, employing a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, adjunctive trial in treatment-resistant major depressive disorder (TRD).
NCT02227589
The investigators will recruit adolescents with alcohol or cannabis abuse and clinically significant depression. All participants will receive 12 sessions of an evidence-based treatment for alcohol abuse, Motivation Enhancement Therapy/Cognitive Behavior Therapy-12, over 12 to 14 weeks. Those who are still depressed after 4 weeks will be randomized to receive treatment augmentation with either an integrated cognitive behavior therapy for depression, delivered by their study therapist, or depression treatment-as-usual in the community. The study hypothesis is that integrated depression treatment will surpass community treatment-as-usual in efficacy.
NCT04377412
The article presents a protocol of a cross-sectional study of mental health of pregnant women in relation to the COVID 19 pandemic. The primary aim is to compare differences in anxiety and depression scores of pregnant women between countries affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The secondary aim is to assess demographic, economic, and social aspects affecting maternal anxiety and depression scores among pregnant women worldwide in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, investigators will be able to compare differences in perception of the different aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic (social distancing, restrictions related to delivery) between countries and according to the epidemic status (number of infected patients, number of reported deaths). The comparisons will also be done according to COVID-19 status of the participants.
