Active clinical trials for "Depression"

Maternal depression disproportionately affects low-income and minority women, and has profound negative impacts on their children. The investigators are conducting a randomized trial of a systems approach to identify mothers at risk for depression in Head Start - a federally funded early learning program for children of low-income families - and to provide an on-site intervention to prevent or alleviate depressive symptoms; improve functioning; and, where appropriate, proactively link mothers to more definitive mental health services.

This study will develop strategies for early detection and prevention of mood disorders and associated impairment in adolescent children of parents with bipolar disorder.

The purpose of the Preconception and Pregnancy Obesity Treatment and Prevention Among Women with A History of Depression preliminary study is to provide a lifestyle intervention for women with a history of depression who are trying to conceive or are pregnant in order to prevent excessive pre-pregnancy weights, avoid excessive gestational weight gain, and to improve other markers of metabolic health. The treatment program consists of 10 private sessions with a trained clinician at no cost to participants.

In diabetes, web programs have been designed that have integrated cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with diabetes education, obtaining positive results in the mood of the patient. In Spain, no similar approach has been performed in people with diabetes and depression. However, the need to provide professionals with adequate tools to help people with this problem is justified. The main objective of this project is to apply a telematic program for the treatment of specific depression for people with type 1 diabetes designed by our research team in a sample of patients with type 1 diabetes and mild-moderate depressive symptomatology of the province of Malaga. To do this, the sample will be divided into two groups: treatment group (TG) and control group (CG). The design of the study is quasi-experimental, longitudinal randomized pre-post with control group. The treatment group (TG) will receive the web treatment, which consists of 9 weekly sessions, while the control group (CG) will be evaluated in the same phases as the TG. For ethical reasons, the CG will receive the web treatment once the TG intervention has been completed. There will be a follow-up at 3, 6 and 12 months.

The COVID-19 epidemic has a major impact on the organization of hospital structures as a whole. Regarding the functioning of the Maternities, it was decided by the three Maternities of AP-HP. Sorbonne University of the Pitié-Salpêtrière, Trousseau and Tenon sites, from March 20, 2020 to no longer authorize visits during the stay of mothers following childbirth. This prohibition has also been extended to spouses. This measure was guided by a concern to protect both the patients, their newborn and the entire staff of the aftermath. The period surrounding a birth is a period of strong emotional impact with an incidence of postpartum depression estimated at 15% in the general population (1). The separation of women from their spouses during this period could expose them to greater psychological vulnerability. In addition, when they return home, the patients will be isolated from their relatives due to the quarantine, which is an additional risk factor for postpartum depression. The teams of the three maternity units of AP-HP. Sorbonne University have organized themselves to be able to respond to situations of mental vulnerability during their stay with the intervention of maternity psychologists and psychiatrists and child psychiatrists as is done in the treatment usual charge. In addition, anticipating situations of greater vulnerability linked to the health crisis, the Maternity teams decided to set up a follow-up of patients after their return home through a telephone interview with psychologists or student psychologists in Master at D10 - D12 and 6-8 weeks postpartum in order to identify patients at increased risk of postpartum depression and to set up appropriate management if necessary for these patients. We therefore propose through this project to describe the consequences of this separation from the spouse during the postpartum stay and then with the family after returning home within the context of quarantine by assessing the incidence of post-partum depression during this sanitary crisis. A telephone interview of all the patients will be proposed on D10 - D12 and at 6-8 weeks postpartum using specific questionnaire to calculate a score of depression. This early identification will allow the establishment of an adapted psychological follow-up.

This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, multicenter study. A total of 128 subjects will be randomly assigned to a test group or placebo group in a 1:1 ratio. Subjects will receive vortioxetine (or placebo) and acamprosate for 6 weeks according to the treatment group. Four visits will be made (weeks 0, 2, 4, 8), and on visit 2-4 (weeks 2, 4, 8) compliance, depression symptoms, and alcohol craving will be assessed.

The purposes of this new study are to test among adolescent viewers the utility of brief video-based interventions to: reduce transphobia; reduce depression-related stigma and increase likelihood of treatment-seeking; and examine the role of viewer's sex (male / female / non-binary), race (Black vs non-Black), and sexual orientation (straight vs LGBQ) as independent factors on the outcomes of interest.

Despite a possible psychomotor retardation during a depressive episode, standardized psychomotor assessment is rare. So, other possible psychomotor disorders or neurological "soft signs" are not known in depression. The investigator propose in this study to explore the psychomotor characteristics of patients with a major depressive disorder from the realization of a psychomotor assessment in comparison with adult without depressive disorder (control). It will be specifically assess muscle tone, gross motor skills, praxis, body schema and the body image and the perceptions.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether cognitive function evaluation (sustained attention, executive functions, working memory) during acute post-stroke is predictive of a 3 months post-stroke depression.

This protocol describes a feasibility trial that will evaluate the feasibility of conducting a full-scale phase 3 trial testing the hypothesis that a postoperative sustained, low-dose ketamine infusion can prevent postoperative depressive symptoms when administered to a targeted population of neurosurgical patients with a history of depression.
