The BXCL501-302 study is designed to characterize the efficacy, safety and tolerability of BXCL501 (sublingual film formulation of DEX, HCl) in agitation associated with bipolar disorder.
NCT05964777
Based on the individualized positioning technology of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), the purpose of this study is to explore a new stimulation target and protocol for the treatment of bipolar disorder in remission through the repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS) and transcranial alternating current stimulation（tACS）under neuronavigation，verify whether there is abnormal functional connectivity and structural connections between the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlpfc) and the dorsal anterior cingulate gyrus (dacc) related to cognitive impairment in bipolar disorder in remission, which will contribute to further understand the relevant neural pathway and mechanism.
NCT07589647
This study aims to stabilize the patients with bipolar disorder (BD) comorbid with obesity in the stable phase by using temporal interference stimulation (TIS ) intervention. It intends to investigate the changes in key metabolic molecules such as GLP-1 circadian rhythm, and further explore the molecular mechanism of their metabolic disorders.
NCT06226025
The purpose of this study is to test whether a dietary supplement (low-dose melatonin) commonly used to treat night owls, administered in conjunction with a behavioral sleep intervention, will help to shift the brain clock earlier and improve mood and sleep in bipolar disorder. Eligible participants will be randomized to receive melatonin plus a behavioral sleep intervention or placebo plus a behavioral sleep placebo. The hypotheses for this study include: * Melatonin plus behavioral sleep intervention (compared to placebo plus behavioral sleep placebo) will produce a greater advance of dim light melatonin onset (DLMO), between pre- and post-treatment. * Melatonin (compared to placebo) will produce a greater reduction in Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score between pre- and post-treatment.
NCT07549581
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of multiple dose oral administration of SEP-380135 in participants with schizophrenia or with a major depressive episode associated with bipolar I or II disorder or major depressive disorder (MDD).
NCT07140913
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adjunctive KarXT for the treatment of mania in participants with Bipolar-I Disorder.
NCT07548359
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an innovative psychiatric nursing intervention in reducing caregiver burden and enhancing psychological resilience and positive emotional outcomes among family caregivers of patients with bipolar disorder. Family caregivers often experience significant psychological stress and emotional challenges due to the chronic and recurrent nature of bipolar disorder. This interventional study was conducted among family caregivers recruited from the Faculty of Nursing, Menoufia University. Participants received a structured psychiatric nursing intervention designed to improve coping strategies, emotional regulation, and resilience. The outcomes of the study include changes in caregiver burden, psychological resilience, and positive emotional outcomes following the intervention. The findings are expected to contribute to improving mental health support for caregivers and enhancing the quality of care provided to patients with bipolar disorder.
NCT06920940
The present study is an open trial of ketogenic diets for adolescents and young adults (ages 12-21 yrs) in the depressive or mixed phases of bipolar disorder (BD). The investigators aim to determine whether combining standard of care pharmacological treatment for bipolar spectrum disorders with a 16-week ketogenic diet is well-tolerated and associated with improvements in depression, inflammatory and metabolic indicators, and executive functioning over the study period. The experimental treatment in this study is a 16-week full ketogenic diet. Four study sites (UCLA, U Cincinnati, U Colorado and U Pittsburgh) will recruit 80 total youth (20 each) from bipolar specialty clinics. All youth eligible for the ketogenic therapy will be provided with the ketogenic diet and standard of care pharmacological treatment. During the diet therapy youth will be seen by a study child/adolescent psychiatrist at least once a month (and more frequently when needed), with the psychiatrist recommending and providing side effects monitoring and pharmacotherapy as clinically indicated. The youth and caregivers will also meet with an expert dietitian who will coach all youth on maintaining the ketogenic diet (low carbs, high fats, medium protein) and making sure the child is tolerating the diet and getting enough liquid and nutrients, following the practice guidelines of the International Ketogenic Diet Study Group for treating youth. All youth and involved caregivers will also be provided will at least one motivational enhancement session to support them in goal setting and completion of the study elements. Throughout the study the investigators will assess metabolic (e.g., blood ketones, HOMA-IR) and inflammatory indicators (e.g., C-reactive protein), both for safety reasons and to assess correlates of symptomatic change. Independent evaluators will assess youth every month regarding their symptoms (depression, mania, anxiety, psychosis), psychosocial functioning, and quality of life. The investigators anticipate that the pilot will transpire over 24 months and be an important step toward establishing feasibility and acceptability of ketogenic therapy for this population, not only in terms of diet administration and compliance but also for obtaining symptomatic, metabolic and inflammatory measurements.
NCT06373016
The goal of this clinical trial is to test how specific components of diet affect brain function and behavior for individuals with bipolar. The main question it aims to answer is how glucose and ketones each affect the brain's response to risk and reward. Participants will be asked to provide blood (to assess baseline measures of how the body uses energy), and then to receive two MRI scan sessions, on separate days. During each MRI scan session, participants will play three games, from which they can win money, before and after drinking glucose (on one day) or ketones (on the other day). Investigators will compare individuals with and without bipolar to test whether the two groups differ in how their brains use energy, and to test how the brain's use of energy affects behavior.
NCT07172516
X-CEED is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of azetukalner in adult participants diagnosed with bipolar I or II disorder who are currently in a depressive episode (bipolar depression).
NCT07130500
This study is a randomized controlled trial evaluating the impact of financial incentives on medication adherence among individuals with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or bipolar disorder and/or co-occurring substance use disorder who are recently discharged from involuntary hospitalization or are at high risk of future involuntary hospitalization. Participants will be randomized to receive financial incentives for adherence to long-acting injectable medications or to a control group.
NCT04298450
Psychosis is a disabling condition that typically has its onset in adolescence and early adulthood. Many young people with psychosis have difficulty navigating services or are reluctant to engage in treatment until their illness becomes an emergency. Consequently, nearly half of all new psychotic disorders are diagnosed in the emergency department (ED). Despite the rationale and evidence for early psychosis intervention (EPI), around half of youth do not access these services. The investigators will use short message service (SMS)/text messaging, a low-cost, low-complexity, youth-friendly approach, to improve transitions in care from the ED and related acute services to EPI services, investigating the intervention's effect on attendance at the first consultation appointment, longer term service engagement, and system-level outcomes. The investigators will also evaluate cost-effectiveness and user perspectives of the intervention.
NCT06370988
The purpose of this trial is to determine if intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) can reduce the symptoms of depression in treatment-resistant bipolar disorder. To do this, some of the participants in this study will receive treatment with active iTBS stimulation, while others will receive sham iTBS stimulation. Participants will come for 30 days of either active iTBS or sham iTBS, with a 6-week follow-up period. Symptoms of depression (for determining treatment efficacy) and mania (for determining treatment safety) will be assessed using the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HRSD-17) and the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) every five treatments during the treatment course, and at 1 week and 6 week after treatment completion.
NCT06384521
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine if it is feasible to randomly assign people into two groups and participate in Lifestyle MIND (Mental Illness and/N' Diabetes) at two different times. Lifestyle MIND is a diabetes lifestyle intervention recently developed for people with serious mental illness (SMI). It is known to be helpful for people with SMI who complete it, but the investigators do not know the effect in comparison to those who do not participate in it. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does Lifestyle MIND improve diabetes control among people with SMI? * Will the effect of Lifestyle MIND be sustained 10 weeks after program completion? * From the provider's perspective, what are the barriers of achieving optimal diabetes treatment outcomes for patients with SMI? Researchers will compare outcomes of participants in the intervention with those in the wait-list control arm, to see if there will be significant differences in blood glucose level, compliance of diabetes self-management, time staying active, number of emergency department (ED) visits and psychiatric hospitalization, and subjective well-being.
NCT04432116
Patients with bipolar disorders report an acceleration or slowing of time flow, and patients with schizophrenic spectrum disorders a time fragmentation. These disorders would be linked to disorders of the sense of self. Assessing these time-related disorders could help to better predict psychotic conversion in vulnerable subjects. In this protocol, the investigators wish to develop playful methods for the evaluation of alterations in the passage of time, based on the use of virtual reality. The protocol will be tested in stabilized but chronic bipolar or schizophrenic patients, vs. healthy subjects matched on age, sex, and study level. The protocol will include two experimental sessions. It will begin with a waiting room-like session, at the end of which the subject will be asked to retrospectively estimate the time that will have passed. The games that will follow will all be based on the principle of temporal waiting. A first signal will indicate the start of the trial, and a target will be presented at varying times after this first signal. The later the target is presented, the more the subject expects and prepare for the target, and the faster he or she is. This time delay is measured by the subject's response (response time, error rate, eye fixation), but also by electrical signals measured by electroencephalography (EEG). The two experimental sessions will include several temporal manipulations during these tasks, intended to highlight alterations in the time flow in patients compared to controls. In one of the sessions, a starfield will be presented and the speed of the stars in the starfield will be manipulated, as a proxy for the speed of the environment. In one condition, the speed of the object will be average, and in the other the speed will be self-adjusted by the subject. In a control condition, the speed of the object will be zero. In the other experimental session, distractors will be presented during the waiting phase of the target. They will be presented either simultaneously or asynchronously. In one control condition the distractors will be absent. In both sessions it will be examined how the behavioral and EEG cues are affected by the manipulations. A double dissociation is expected, with greater disturbance in patients with bipolar disorder when standard movement is used, whereas patients with schizophrenia should be disturbed mainly when asynchronous distractors are presented.
NCT07444463
Previous and our studies have shown that cognitive impairments are core symptoms of three major psychiatric disorders-schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder, and are associated with underlying brain dysfunction. However, the specific brain networks involved in cognitive impairments (cognitive impairment brain networks) in these disorders, as well as whether their neuroimaging features can be applied to cognitive assessment, diagnosis, and precision treatment, remain unclear. This study aims to identify cognitive impairment brain networks using publicly available large-scale datasets and clinical research, and to explore whether the neuroimaging features of these networks can be utilized for cognitive assessment, diagnosis, and treatment response prediction. First, a "sensitive cognitive assessment model for major psychiatric disorders" will be established through meta-analysis based on sensitive scales. Second, cognitive impairment brain networks will be identified using publicly available large-scale datasets combined with the lesion network mapping method, and their validity will be examined by assessing their non-randomness, reproducibility, symptom specificity, and disease specificity. Third, cognitive assessment and diagnostic models will be developed based on neuroimaging features of these networks. Finally, a combination of cross-sectional and longitudinal study designs will be used in a clinical trial to validate the identified networks and models, and a treatment response prediction model will be established based on the neuroimaging features of cognitive impairment brain networks. This study will advance the understanding of the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying cognitive impairment in major psychiatric disorders, promote the application of neuroimaging in psychiatric diagnosis and treatment, and improve traditional diagnostic, therapeutic, and cognitive assessment approaches.
NCT05725785
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about how a digital training platform can enhance implementation and effectiveness of a validated mHealth system, called FOCUS, in people with serious mental illness. The main question this research aims to answer is whether patients obtain similar outcomes to previous FOCUS studies when using FOCUS with clinicians trained on a newly developed digital training platform. Participants will be asked to use the FOCUS smartphone application and receive mobile health coaching from clinicians who have been trained using the digital training platform.
NCT03622749
The investigators are conducting this research study to better understand how individuals with bipolar disorder regulate their emotions, and if the study can use a technique called "transcranial magnetic stimulation" or TMS to help improve emotion regulation for individuals with bipolar disorder.
NCT07445802
People living with serious mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder often need long-term medication to stay well. However, many patients have difficulty taking medication regularly, which can increase the risk of relapse, hospitalization, and poorer quality of life. Traditionally, treatment adherence has been measured using self-report questionnaires, which may be influenced by memory or social desirability bias. With the recent expansion of electronic prescription systems in Spain, it is now possible to objectively verify whether patients collect their medications from the pharmacy. This provides a new opportunity to better understand and support treatment adherence. The ADHERA study will evaluate how well digital self-report questionnaires reflect real medication use compared with electronic dispensing records. We will also explore patient characteristics that may be associated with difficulties in medication adherence. Finally, we will test a new online psychoeducational program-including sessions led by mental health professionals and supported by peer-experience contributors-to determine whether it can help improve adherence. Participants with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder who are registered in the hospital's digital patient portal and have active antipsychotic prescriptions will be invited to complete brief adherence questionnaires online. Individuals with signs of reduced adherence will then be invited to take part in a telehealth intervention consisting of ten group sessions, where they will receive information, support, and practical strategies to maintain their treatment plan. Medication adherence will be reassessed after six months. If successful, this study may help improve how treatment adherence is measured in clinical practice, guide targeted interventions for individuals at higher risk of non-adherence, and provide evidence for scalable telehealth programs that can be easily implemented in other regions and medical conditions
NCT04480918
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of interventional/procedural therapies for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). These treatments include electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), racemic ketamine infusion and intranasal esketamine insufflation. The investigators will obtain various indicators, or biomarkers, of a depressed individuals' state before, during, and/or after these treatments. Such biomarkers include neurobehavioral testing, neuroimaging, electroencephalography, cognitive testing, vocal recordings, epi/genetic testing, and autonomic nervous system measures (i.e. "fight-or-flight" response). The results obtained from this study may provide novel antidepressant treatment response biomarkers, with the future goal of targeting a given treatment to an individual patient ("personalized medicine").
