Active clinical trials for "Depression"

This study randomized two stratifications of acute phase MDD SSRI responders, categorized as having either "true drug" response or "placebo response" pattern, to continuation with SSRI vs placebo in a double-blind trial to determine if stratification category predicted continuation outcome.

This study is testing a process (rEEG)for selecting the most appropriate medication(s) to treat a patient's depression versus a control group being treated according to a standardized method, the modified Star*D Algorithm. Qualified subjects will be randomized to the experimental (rEEG guided) group, or the control group and treated for 12 weeks. Medications utilized in this study are currently marketed. All visits, physical exam, rEEG, labs, rating scales and medications are provided at no cost to the patient.

In this project the investigators will develop and pilot test a supervised, vigorous intensity exercise intervention for depressed female smokers. If the pilot intervention is successful the investigators will have a blueprint for a large randomized controlled trial. The long term objective is to develop interventions for depressed women that will ultimately reduce their risk of tobacco-caused disease and mortality.

The study aimed to evaluate the use of exercise as a complementary strategy to treat severe major depression in inpatients. Hypothesis: Exercise can be used as a safe and efficacious complimentary strategy in severe depressed inpatients.

To explore the anti-impulsive and anti-aggressive properties of brexpiprazole in a naturalistic setting of depressed patients with irritability.

This trial will determine if depression treatment will reduce cardiovascular risk in HIV-infected patients already receiving HIV treatments. Half of the participants will undergo a specific computerized depression treatment with the other half receiving usual care from their HIV providers.

Our collection of memories for personal experiences plays an important role in shaping our sense of who we are as people. These memories, termed autobiographical memories, can also be helpful in social situations, for sharing the details of our experiences with other people, reminiscing about pleasant times and solving problems by remembering what has and hasn't worked in the past. Different types of autobiographical memory are helpful to us depending on the particular situation the investigators are in at the time. Recent research has shown that experiencing depressed mood can affect how we relate to our autobiographical memories, so that instead of providing a rich source of personal information in a helpful and flexible way, the types of memories that come to mind are more narrowly focused on difficult or negative experiences. This can cause low mood to persist over time. The purpose of this study is to test a newly-developed therapeutic training package for depressed mood (MemFlex), designed to encourage helpful and flexible ways of relating to autobiographical memories. The MemFlex programme consists of a one-to-one orientation session with the researcher to introduce the training package, followed by a workbook that is completed at home.

The aim of the study is to determine the influence of supplementation of probiotic Lactobacillus Plantarum 299V vs. placebo of probiotic during antidepressant monotherapy with SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) in patients with major depression.

The main aim was to conduct a pilot field test of a group-based depression and adherence counseling intervention with HIV-infected women in the perinatal period. Participants were HIV-infected women living in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

Despite the public health importance of clinical depression, more than 50% of depressed adults receive inadequate or no treatment, with even higher rates of under-treatment in men and minorities. Family members and/or friends often assist older adults in their health care and may help overcome barriers to formal care, yet there is a lack of primary care-based interventions that mobilize family members and friends to improve depression treatment. In partnership with a community-based clinic, this research will address this scientific gap by developing and then testing the feasibility and acceptability of a family-based intervention that can be delivered pragmatically in a primary care setting serving large numbers of older minorities.
