Active clinical trials for "Depression"

This is a 20-subject, dose finding study to examine the use of external trigeminal nerve stimulation (TNS) as an adjunctive treatment for adults with major depressive disorder (MDD) co- occurring with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) when added onto antidepressant medications. Our primary objective is the examination of TNS in this patient population. To accomplish our specific aims, the investigators will test the following specific hypotheses: Subjects will show improvement in ratings of mood, PTSD, and other symptoms during the eight-week period. Subjects will show improvement in ratings of life functional capacity and quality of life with TNS. Subjects will report the TNS treatments to be acceptable in terms of side effects and burden of using the device.

The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of a brief manualized individual psychotherapy, called Managing Cancer and Living Meaningfully (CALM), to reduce distress and promote psychological well-being in patients with various types of cancer, including metastatic disease.

The purpose of the present study is to examine whether cognitive behavior therapy will reduce depressive symptoms and increase self-esteem for patients with a first episode psychosis.

This is a subject single blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled, single dose, first-time-in-human study with three or more ascending cohorts.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of study drug (BMS-820836) as compared with continued duloxetine in the treatment of patients with treatment resistant depression (TRD).

To evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of flexible doses, 15 and 20 mg/day, of Vortioxetine over a period of 52 weeks in patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)

Lurasidone HCI is a compound that is a candidate for the treatment of bipolar I depression. This clinical study is designed to test the hypothesis that Lurasidone in combination with either Lithium or Divalproex is effective among patients with bipolar I depression.

Primary Aim 1: Examine effectiveness of the Oh Happy Day Class (OHDC) compared to the Coping With Depression (CWD)in increasing retention, adherence, engagement, satisfaction, and treatment-seeking. The investigators hypothesize the OHDC compared to the CWD will result in greater increases in: 1a. retention, 1b. adherence, 1c. engagement, and 1d. satisfaction at the middle and end of the intervention, and 2.e. greater increase in treatment-seeking 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12- months post-intervention. Outcome measures: logs: attendance, homework completion, class-participation level; Client Satisfaction Inventory; and Cornell Service Index. Primary Aim 2: Examine effectiveness of the OHDC in reducing symptoms of depression at the middle and immediate end of the intervention, and 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12- months post-intervention. The investigators hypothesize the OHDC will result in greater reduction in depressive symptoms compared to the CWD at 3-months post-intervention. Outcome measures: Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale and Quick Inventory of Depression Symptoms. Secondary Aim 3: Examine the effectiveness of the OHDC in improving self-reports of mental and physical health status and reducing self-reports of perceived disability. The investigators hypothesize the OHDC compared to the CWD will result in greater self-report of: 3a. improved mental and physical health status, and 3b. reduced self-report of disability at the immediate end of the intervention and 3-,6-, 9-, 12- months post-intervention. Outcome measures: SF-12 Health Survey, and World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule. Public Health Impact: Based on CAI research, the OHDC has the potential to be four times more effective than the CWD. If our hypotheses are proven, the OHDC will be the first evidence-based culturally adapted depression intervention designed specifically for African American men and women between the ages of 30-60.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, safety and tolerability of 8-week treatment with Vortioxetine (Lu AA21004), once daily (QD), in Japanese participants with major depressive disorder.
