Active clinical trials for "Depression"

This is a demonstration project focused on translating neuroscience insights into clinical practice. The researchers will evaluate how neuroscience assessments may be applied in the clinical setting to help inform care decisions. The aim of the study is to undertake a pragmatic pilot trial to assess whether the inclusion of structured feedback from neuroscience assessments has an effect on improving patient outcomes. The study will investigate how neuroscience assessments can be integrated into and improve clinical care. The impact of sharing information and conclusions from these assessments with psychiatric providers will be explored. Outcomes will include symptoms, social/occupational function and qualify of life.

This study is done to evaluate the effects of Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) for primary care patients that have mild to moderate symptoms of depression and anxiety. Half of the study participants will receive treatment as usual (TAU), and the other half will receive TAU plus MBCT. The investigators will be comparing changes in symptoms of depression and anxiety between the groups, and hypothesize that the TAU plus MBCT group will have significantly lower symptoms of depression and anxiety compared to TAU group post-intervention

Problem Solving Therapy for Primary Care (PST-PC) is an evidence based psychosocial intervention (EBPI) for use in primary care settings, with more than 100 clinical trials. Despite it's proven efficacy we have found that implementation of PST-PC is complicated, resulting in rapid program drift (deviation from protocol with associated loss of efficacy), among practitioners following completion of training. Many studied have shown that program drift is not uncommon in the implementation of EBPIs and can be mitigated through on-going decision support and supervision. Unfortunately, decision support and supervisors of EBPIs are not widely available in low-resourced primary care clinics. We will address this problem by creating decision support tools to be integrated into electronic health records. Because these tools hare deemed by many practitioners in other field to be burdensome, we will explicitly involve active input on the content, design and function of these support tools. Outcomes may include electronic dashboards for panel management, automated suggestions for application of PST-PC elements based on patient reported outcomes or integration of automated patient tracking, and 4) support of patient engagement. We hypothesize that enhance decision support (target mechanism) will sustained quality delivery of PST-PC, which in turn will improve patient reported outcomes.

Using neuroimaging, the investigator will study the effects of estrogen on mood and brain function in perimenopausal women with depression.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of 1) a stepped mental health care intervention and 2) an integrated mental health care and vocational rehabilitation intervention for people on sick leave because of depression and anxiety in Denmark

Implementation of Tailored Collaborative Care for Women Veterans (CCWV) is designed to enhance primary care-mental health integration for women Veterans, by tailoring services to women Veterans' and providers' needs and providing an evidence-based intervention, Coordinated Anxiety Learning and Management, to address anxiety and depression in a patient-centered approach. CCWV will be implemented in four of the Women's Health Practice-Based Research Network sites, with careful attention to local tailoring and adaptation to enhance the fit of the care model in varied local contexts.

The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of pedometers can help depressive inpatients in psychiatric clinics to increase their level of physical activity. Therefore patients are given a pedometer and instructions how to raise their level of daily steps. Intervention group is compared with a control group that is receiving treatment-as-usual. The intervention is hypothesized to increase number of daily steps and have positive effects on mood, depression and anxiety.

The proposed randomized controlled trial will test the efficacy of a stepped collaborative care intervention, versus enhanced usual care arm, to reduce depression of cancer caregivers. Biobehavioral factors will include assessment of changes in health behaviors and biomarkers of inflammation. The investigators will also include measures metabolic abnormalities and clinical markers of CVD. The investigators expect few cardiac events during the study period. The investigators will also measure other health outcomes but CVD risk factors will be the focus of the study.

Recurrent miscarriage is a frustrating event for couples. The purpose of this randomized, controlled trial was to examine the effectiveness of nursing counseling on sleep quality, depression, stress, and social support in women with recurrent miscarriage (RM). Sixty-two eligible women were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n = 31) or the control (n = 31) group. The experimental group received routine care and three sessions of nursing counseling during the 12-week prenatal genetic testing stage, while the control group received routine care only. Outcome measures included the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Edinburgh Prenatal Depression Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, and Interpersonal Support Evaluation List. Paired sample t-tests were conducted before and after nursing counseling to measure whether there were any statistically significant changes in outcome variables.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of an integrated mental health care and vocational rehabilitation intervention for people on sick leave because of depression, stress, anxiety, personality- and functional disorders in Denmark
