About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Bipolar Disorder focused on measuring depression, bipolar disorder

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 60 Years (Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • males
  • females
  • 3 previous weeks with depression symptoms.
  • bipolar disorder type I actual depressive phase
  • bipolar disorder type II actual depressive phase
  • Montgomery Asberg depression scale(MADRS) score equal or more than 20
  • stable psychiatric medication during 2 weeks previous the recruitment

Exclusion Criteria:

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Sham Comparator

Arm Label

Vestibular stimulation

Sham vestibular stimulation

Arm Description

Patients of this group will receive a specific vestibular stimulation technique.

This group of patients will receive sham vestibular stimulation, similar to experimental group vestibular stimulation in the range of under threshold frequencies undistinguished from real vestibular stimulation. The absence of vestibular nystagmic response confirms that the stimulus is sham.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Remission rates of depression.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Percentage of vestibular change.
Response rates of depression

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Vestibular stimulation has been shown to be a very effective noninvasive treatment for major depression. Bipolar disorder is a mental illness that presents cyclic sequences of depressive and euphoric states. Depressive phases of bipolar disorder are difficult to treat and usually are resistant to actual available treatments. This study investigates the effectiveness of a particular technique of vestibular stimulation in a group of 120 bipolar type I and II patients. After randomization 60 of them will receive specific vestibular stimulation (experimental group) and 60 will receive a sham vestibular stimulation.The study will conducted in Vest Brain, Centro de Estudios Neurovestibulares, in Chile.
