Active clinical trials for "Depressive Disorder"

This trial aims to test the feasibility of Magnetic Seizure Therapy (MST) for Depression in patients diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease.

The investigators will evaluate a brief group-based cognitive-behavioral treatment program for adolescents aged 13-17 years with internalizing problems.

The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of Problem Adaptation Therapy for Pain (PATH-Pain) on cognitive functioning, depression and pain-related disability in 100 older adults with cognitive impairment, chronic pain, and depression. The study will test if PATH-Pain has better cognitive, affective, and functional outcomes than Attention Control Usual Care.

This study is a single-arm, open-label, feasibility trial for the assessment of the clinical effects of a course of accelerated bilateral sequential theta burst stimulation (TBS) for late life depression (LLD). Over approximately 1 year, 30 outpatients at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) meeting diagnostic criteria for LLD will be recruited and will receive 5 consecutive days (always Monday to Friday) of TBS repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), administered 8 times daily at approximately 1 hour intervals, with continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) applied to the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) followed by left DLPFC intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS). Patients will undergo a series of assessments as well as motor threshold testing to determine the appropriate site and strength of stimulation according to standard methods and then begin treatment.

This two phase study is testing an online version of a transdiagnostic, cognitive behavioral therapy, against a modified version of that therapy emphasizing positive affect. The first phase of the trial will focus on content development for the modified therapy and the second phase will be a randomized control trial comparing the two.

Experimental open-label randomized clinical trial to determine the effect of virtual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) on the quality of life of patients with HIV, COVID-19 and anxiety or depression. It will be carried out at the hospital for 6 months, where people over 18 years of age with HIV from the infectious disease service will participate. In the study, patients will be randomized 1:1 in an intervention group, who will receive eight sessions of virtual CBT by 02 psychotherapists, and a control group. Additionally, patients will be consulted about the participation of at least one adult family member or caregiver in the study, if the patient and the family member agree, the family member or caregiver will enter the study. The informed consent process will be conducted by telephone, during the call the recruiting staff will read the consent document and the participant (patient and family member or caregiver) will give their consent by answering affirmatively to the questions asked at the end of the document. The main objective will be evaluated by comparing the quality of life measurement at three months with the baseline measurement, as well as the variation of anxiety and depression scores.

This is a pilot study of acceptability, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of a brief, 10-session Behavioral Activation intervention delivered via teletherapy to increase physical activity and treat depressive symptoms.

Antidepressant-like effects of tadalafil to its ability to modulate transduction pathways responsible for neuroplasticity. Treatment with tadalafil was shown to be PKG-dependent and lead to increased expression of cGMP, pCREB, BDNF and VGF in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex (PFC), brain areas relevant to mood disorders pathophysiology. Low-dose tadalafil improved both depressive symptoms in patients with erectile dysfunction.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ammoxetine hydrochloride enteric-coated tablets in subjects with depression.

This study will determine the safety and potential effectiveness of a digital health platform aimed at improving treatment outcomes for patients with depression by assisting physicians with clinical decision making about depression treatment.
