NCT00511680
The specific primary aims of the study are to: 1. Test the immediate effect of the intervention at 4-months on depression in urban African American older adults (primary trial outcome; between group comparison). Hypothesis: Participants in the intervention group will report fewer depressive symptoms in comparison to control group participants receiving usual care. 2. Test the maintenance effect of the intervention at 8-months on depression (within group comparison). Hypothesis: Participants in the intervention group will maintain reduced symptom presentation from 4 to 8 months. 3. Evaluate acceptability (social validity) of the intervention and extent of engagement in activities by study participants (both intervention and wait-list control subjects). A secondary aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of conducting a clinical trial embedded in a community service setting and its dissemination using a community-academic partnership. We also propose three exploratory aims. First, we seek to evaluate the mechanisms of action, or pathways, by which treatment gains are obtained (Gitlin et al., 2000). Given that behavioral activation represents conceptually the key active ingredient of the proposed intervention, we plan to evaluate its mediational effect. Second, we seek to evaluate whether the intervention has a differential treatment effect based on a study participant's gender, age, and living arrangement (alone or with others). Given that previous research suggests that participant characteristics may moderate depressive symptoms and treatment outcomes, these exploratory analyses will provide insight as to whether this particular treatment benefits some groups more than others. Third, we seek to evaluate whether the intervention has short and long-term effects on quality of life, functional difficulty, and self-efficacy to manage day-to-day tasks. Previous research has shown that depressive symptoms exacerbate functional decline such that minimizing distress may have the added value of enhancing function and perceived efficacy for this group over time.
NCT01658098
This research will use the Edinburgh Scale Of Post partum depression to evaluate patients during their 4th to 6th after delivery, and the investigators will compare the results with those found in other countries with population with similar characteristics as ours
NCT00883493
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of quetiapine fumarate monotherapy with quetiapine fumarate in combination with lithium in the treatment of a major depressive episode in patients with bipolar disorder.
NCT00452543
This is a study about treatment for people who suffer from both major depression and alcohol abuse or dependence. The study will examine whether the addition of acamprosate to escitalopram and behavioral interventions will improve outcomes for this population.
NCT01633996
In this research study, the investigators piloted a uniform acupuncture treatment protocol among adults with depression who were taking an antidepressant medication that was providing only partial or no symptom alleviation. The study's aims were evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of acupuncture augmentation treatment among this population. The investigators hypothesized that acupuncture as an augmentation treatment would be associated with a response rate of at least 50%, which the investigators defined as a decrease in depressive symptoms from the beginning to the end of the study of 50% or more, and that the response would be greater among patients who received acupuncture 2 times per week (vs. 1 time per week). The investigators also hypothesized that acupuncture would be associated with minimal side effects.
NCT01633125
The prevalence of psychological problems is high in prisons. Many prisoners have unmet needs for appropriate treatments. Although pilot studies have suggested music therapy to be a successful treatment modality for prisoners, more rigorous evidence is needed. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of group music therapy to improve anxiety, depression, and self-esteem in prisoners. One hundred and ninety two inmates from a Chinese prison will be allocated to two groups through randomisation. The experimental group will participate in biweekly group music therapy for 10 weeks (20 sessions) while the control group will be placed on a waitlist. Anxiety, depression and self-esteem will be measured by self-report scales three times: before, at the middle, and at the end of the intervention. Logs by prisoners and daily behavior observation by trained prison guards will be used as additional information. This study will increase the knowledge of the effectiveness of group music therapy. Results will be generalizable to Chinese prisons but also internationally. Generalizability to clinical practice will be high, and findings will be able support the further development of music therapy in prison.
NCT01080105
This study will develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a technology-assisted behavioral intervention, consisting of Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy combined with telephone and email support, in preventing depressive symptoms and improving treatment adherence in individuals at risk of major depressive disorder.
NCT01628783
In this study the investigators use clinical, biological and imaging markers to develop predictive markers for remission from depression. The investigators compare individuals who have received placebo to individuals who have received 10 mg of escitalopram for one week. In this double-blind, randomized study the investigators a) compare the groups to observe the short-term effects of escitalopram and b) study the predictive value of these observations with respect to remission. Measures include, but are not restricted to, limbic emotional reactivity as assessed by fMRI, emotional processing, emotional memory, autobiographical memory.
NCT00122031
This study will investigate the use of deep brain stimulation (DBS) to reduce symptom severity and enhance the quality of life for patients with treatment-refractory major depression.
NCT00290914
The purpose is to evaluate the safety and usefulness of the investigational drug, vilazodone in depression.
NCT00844948
This Phase II SBIR study will replicate pilot study methods establishing computer-automated methods for assessing depression severity using interactive voice response system technology and demonstrating feasibility of obtaining measures of depression severity and treatment response through vocal acoustic analysis of speech samples obtained over the telephone. The study will automate vocal acoustic analysis methods, evaluate applicability to other patient populations (non-English speakers, children/young adult, and geriatric), and further develop multivariate acoustic models to enhance biomarker sensitivity to treatment response and prediction of the response likelihood for individual patients.
NCT01591720
A tailored Internet-based cognitive-behavioural intervention is tested within a primary care clinic. Weekly measures of symptoms of depression and anxiety are obtained. Significant within-group effects are expected.
NCT01055665
The investigators are exploring the role of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment for depression, on self-efficacy (feeling empowered to accomplish a given task) and depression in persons with chronic pain and depression. Past research has shown that persons with chronic pain show improvement in self-efficacy and depression scores when they are using CBT. The Pain rehabilitation Center (PRC) at Mayo Clinic is adding CBT focused groups to better understand the role of CBT on self-efficacy and depression in persons with chronic pain and depression.
NCT01147913
This study will examine how well a novel four-session computerized program, designed to help adolescents learn to interpret ambiguous situations less negatively, reduces symptoms of depression and decreases negative information-processing biases.
NCT00998959
The purpose of this study is to determine the usefulness of a stress reduction treatment in helping minority patients with major depression get better. Subjects will receive six weeks of either mindfulness-based stress reduction and problem solving therapy or psychoeducation.
NCT00296777
The main purpose of this study is to correlate brain testing with treatment outcome.
NCT00183417
This study will compare the effectiveness of two programs designed to prevent depression in adolescents.
NCT00119028
Based on the published evidence, collaborative care for depression is both necessary and sufficient for improving care and outcomes for depressed patients in primary care settings. The Translating Initiatives in Depression into Effective Solutions (TIDES) project, upon which ReTIDES is based, developed a VA-adapted version of collaborative care through input from veterans, clinicians, and managers. The initial TIDES project resulted in a clinically stable and effective model as tested in seven primary care practices in three VISNs. This positive result provided the basis for spreading and sustaining the TIDES model and initiating the study of national implementation strategies and issues.
NCT01341873
This randomized clinical trial studies nursing intervention in supporting family caregivers (FCs) of patients undergoing stem cell transplant. A nursing intervention may help prepare FCs support the recovery of the patients
NCT01020799
