Active clinical trials for "Depression"

This prospective single-center cohort study aims to identify the incidence of cognitive dysfunction after unruptured aneurysm operation and explore the influencing factors. The primary end point is the cognitive dysfunction at 6 months after operation.The features of cognitive function, mental status, neurological function recovery, and quality of life of patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms at different time points would be analyzed.

This is an observational registry intended to track depression scores of patients over time in treatment.

In the project, investigators plan to test difference of social cognition between depressive patients and healthy individuals and the brain activation underlying the difference to further understand the neural mechanism of depressive disorder.

Background: The gut microbiome is emerging as an important factor in regulating mental health yet it remains unclear what the target should be for psychiatric treatment. Investigators aim at elucidating the complement of the gut microbiome community for individuals with Major Depressive disorder (MDD) and Bipolar disorder (BD) relative to controls, and test for relationships with symptoms. Methods: Investigators prospect to recruit subjects including patients and controls amount to 240. All subjects will be collected for blood and stool samples,assessed by clinical scales. Finally, analyzing the correlation among the metabolon in blood, microbiota in stool and clinical scales to obtain the possible interaction between diseases and gut microbiota.

This study investigates depressive symptoms and the use of emotion regulation strategies over the course of a two-year period in participants terminating outpatient cognitive behavioral therapy for depression. The main objective of the study is to examine if changes in the use of certain emotion regulation strategies (e.g. reappraisal, rumination) predict depression relapse or changes in depressive symptoms after the completion of outpatient cognitive behavioral therapy.

Depression is a common mental disorder, people with depression feel sadness anxious, loss of interest or pleasure, hopeless, helpless, worthless feelings of guilt and poor concentration. It can impair person's ability to function at work or school, or cope with daily life. It can lead to suicide.

By the method of multi-mode Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 5 patients with knee osteoarthritis are selected in this trial to observe the possible differences in the brain structure and function from the 5 healthy volunteers.

In December 2019, a highly infectious disease caused by a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in Wuhan, China. On March 11th 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Facing this critical situation, health care workers on the front line are at risk of developing psychological distress and other mental health symptoms. Physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) physicians works both in specialty outpateint/inpatient clinic and pandemic outpatient/inpatient clinics during the outbreak. Accordingly, PM&R physicians are expected to be mentally affected by COVID-19 pandemic. In this study we aimed to evaluate mental health status of PM&R physicians and related factors during COVID-19 pandemic. This study is a cross-sectional survey which is conducted on an online platform. Demographic data, working conditions of PM&R physicians and factors that may be related to mental health status is questioned in the survey. The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale - 21 (DASS-21) is used to measure the emotional states of depression, anxiety and stress.The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) is used to assess the severity of both nighttime and daytime components of insomnia.

The experience of illness and hospitalization exerts a great deal of psychological distress, one of the most distressful events people might experience throughout their life times. Surgery and anesthesia with their accompanying loss of control, fear of being unconscious and invaded, and expectation of postoperative pain adds appreciably to that stress and anxiety. Current psycho-physiological research has provided evidence on the alarming possibility of the aversive affects of hospitalization stress on the patients' already deteriorated physical health and marked interference with their recovery. As an additional stressor, which may partly be related to the hospital staff, and partly to the person's illness and expected surgery is loneliness. Loneliness is a painful experience that is, commonly, not embraced and which has consequences that are detrimental to one's emotional, physical and spiritual well being. The present study explores the qualitative aspects of loneliness (via questionnaires) in two patient populations: (1) patients facing surgery, and (2) patients who have already undergone surgery. In addition, family members [i.e. those waiting outside of the operating room] will be given a questionnaire, and these three groups will be compared to the general population.

The purpose of this study is determine the incidence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in people of high risk, of 40 or more years and attended in the Primary Care. Evaluating the association between anxiety, depression, quality of life and the vital stressful events, and the development of the metabolic syndrome in general population. Our hypothesis is that population of the cohort with bigger degree of stress will develop earlier the metabolic syndrome. If our hypothesis about the metabolic syndrome are demonstrated, it would allow establishing in a future interventions on these factors of risk to prevent or to decrease the incidence of this syndrome in the Primary Care.
