NCT03329391
Pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy, effective management strategies for treatment-resistant depression are limited and yet to be developed. However, nursing interventions focusing on adherence enhancement, symptom reduction, and stress management may be strategic for a better disease management. This study aimed to define the rarely-studied concept of TRD under the cultural context of Taiwan and to identify new feasible and complementary treatment model from nursing perspectives. The project had established important basis on the descriptions of psychosocial features and need assessment of people with TRD over psychiatrist's validation. The findings also built up a cultural-specific non-pharmacological intervention module for effective TRD management in Taiwan. The nursing model of TRD management will further promote the development of integrative depression care in the future and complement current modalities, while providing important evidence-based information for future research and services.

Several studies have reported high rates of depression in people with MS. Depressive symptoms represent a serious threat to quality of life and well-being. Furthermore, findings from the literature suggest that mechanisms underneath depressive features and loss of physical functions in MS could be related. The current study aims at investigating the feasibility of a fairly new type of psychotherapy known as "eye movement desensitization and reprocessing" (EMDR) on depression in people with MS. The goal of this intervention is to reduce the long-lasting effects of distressing memories by developing more adaptive coping mechanisms, through bilateral sensory stimulation. Together with the study on clinical measures, brain mechanisms of change will be assessed with MRI. Fifteen depressed or mildly depressed people with MS will be recruited. Participants will be assessed for depression, and quality of life, before and after the intervention. Participants will also undergo an MRI for brain structural and functional assessments before and after the EMDR intervention. The main aim of the study is to verify that EMDR is a feasible psychotherapeutic approach for people with depression and MS and to collect preliminary data on the efficacy of this type of intervention in reducing the depressive symptoms and improving the quality of life. The study, however, will not be limited to the analysis of outcome differences. The use of MRI assessments, in fact, will allow to explore possible brain change modifications related to depression reduction and/or symptoms modifications.
