Active clinical trials for "Depressive Disorder"

The current study aims to examine the impact of booster sessions of cognitive control training (CCT) on indicators of depression vulnerability. Remitted depressed individuals (RMD) will be randomized over two groups, each receiving 10 sessions of the adaptive Paced Auditory Serial Addition Task, a well-established CCT procedure (Koster et al., 2017; Siegle et al., 2007). During and following completion of the training procedure, functioning will be monitored on a weekly basis over a period of 15 weeks. During this period, one group will be offered booster sessions based on early warning signs for possible recurrence of depression, whilst the other group will not receive booster sessions.

This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of the mobile application named Circadian Rhythm for Mood (CRM), which was developed to prevent recurring episodes of mood disorders (major depressive disorders, bipolar disorders type 1 and 2) based on machine learning.

To elucidate mechanisms of substance use disorders (SUD) and comorbid mental illnesses in people living with HIV (PLWH), the investigators propose to investigate reward and pain circuitry in cannabis use and depression comorbidity, two highly prevalent conditions in PLWH. The study will take place in our health system in The Bronx-a persistent epicenter of the HIV epidemic due to profound poverty and health disparities. The focus is on young adults (ages 18-34) to minimize HIV chronicity effects and due to the high rates of SUD and reduced adherence to HIV treatments in this age group; among >31,000 diagnosed young PLWH in The Bronx in 2019, less than 70% had suppressed (<200 copies/mL) viral load (VL).

Native Americans (NA) are at greater risk for anxiety and depression early in life with 10-39% of NA youth reporting clinical levels of anxiety or depression. This is concerning given potential negative effects of these conditions across the lifespan (substance use, suicide). Available culturally adapted prevention and early interventions (PEIs) for anxiety and depression in NA youth are limited. Two are indicated for at-risk youth (e.g., trauma), one universal PEI was not efficacious, community stakeholders served as consultants with no youth or parents involved, and evaluation used minimal mixed methods. Thus, there is a critical need for the development and evaluation of a culturally consonant, brief prevention and early intervention (PEI) for anxiety and depression in NA youth using a CBPR approach that include youth and parents and mixed method evaluation. The investigators' short-term goal is to provide the community with a potentially successful PEI to mitigate NA youth's anxiety and depression that integrates culture and traditions for delivery in schools. The Specific Aims of the proposed research are to 1) culturally adapt COMPASS for Courage for NA youth living on a Northern Plains tribal reservation (chosen by the Cultural Advisory Board; CAB), 2) evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the culturally-adapted COMPASS with NA youth living on the reservation, and 3) estimate effect size changes in anxiety and depressive symptoms of the culturally adapted COMPASS with the NA youth. The investigators propose to build upon the investigators' strong community relationships and CBPR methods to achieve these aims. The investigators will partner with the CAB to culturally adapt COMPASS for NA youth in year 1 within a CBPR framework, including NA youth and parents. In year 2, the investigators will train three NA providers from the tribal community and pilot test the adapted PEI among 30 NA 8-12-year-olds in two schools serving youth from the reservation in Years 2 and 3. The investigators will evaluate feasibility and acceptability using mixed methods including focus groups of key stakeholders (youth, parents, and teachers) and estimate effect sizes of changes in anxiety and depressive symptoms using a pre-post, single group design. The investigators hypothesize NA youth will find the adapted COMPASS intervention to be acceptable, enjoyable, and culturally appropriate and there will be pre- to post-intervention reductions in anxiety and depressive symptoms. The long-term goal is to continue refining and tailoring the adapted COMPASS intervention and evaluate its efficacy and sustainability. The investigators plan to submit an R01 (Clinical Trial) in response to the FOA, Intervention Research to Improve Native American Health (PAR-20-238), in Year 3 for a full-scale clinical trial that will be informed by the study's findings.

This study is evaluating the effects of riding on a cycle ergometer while experiencing virtual reality to determine its effect on mood.

This study aims to determine and compare acupuncture therapy and chiropractor group therapy to reduce anxiety and depression among HIV/AIDS patients at Being Alive, Los Angeles. In this controlled clinical trial, a total of 30 patients will be divided into two groups, 15 in the acupuncture therapy group, 15 in the chiropractor group therapy. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), The Patient Health Questionnaire 9-item (PHQ-9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7- item scales (GAD-7) will be used as screening tools for depressive and anxiety symptoms respectively.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of ROSE in individuals with adverse childhood experiences. The main question it aims to answer is, compared to enhanced treatment as usual, does the delivery of ROSE within a collaborative care model improve depressive symptom trajectories and prevent the development of perinatal depression. Participants will be randomized to either enhanced treatment as usual or the ROSE intervention, delivered by a care manager within a perinatal collaborative care program. They will complete self-reported surveys of their depression symptoms every 4 weeks to inform their symptom trajectories. They will also complete clinical interviews to establish any incident diagnoses of a major depressive episode.

This is a clinical trial to determine the long-term safety and tolerability of an investigational drug in people with Major Depressive Episode Associated with Bipolar I Disorder (Bipolar I Depression). Participants in the study will receive the drug being studied. This study is accepting male and female participants between 18 and 65 years old who have completed Study SEP380-301. This study will be conducted in approximately 90 study centers worldwide. The treatment duration for this study is one (1) year.

Heart rate variability (HRV) in post-stroke patients are closely related to patient mortality, neurological deterioration and overall prognosis. Anxiety and depression will demotivate the patients' will to undergo rehabilitation program, which would delay their functional recovery. The influence of acupressure over the auricle on the HRV, anxiousness and depressive mood have yet to be verified. The investigators aimed to study the effect on auricular acupressure treatment between the different trending of HRV, anxiety and depression and their correlations. This is a randomized control study, consisted of 70 patients with post-stroke depressive mood, from both CGH and Xizhi Cathay hospital in Taiwan. HRV analysis is performed on the first 24 hours, and on a weekly basis for a total of 6 weeks. The included depressed patients were defined by the "Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale" and weekly will be undertaken by the patients. A "Taiwanese Depression Questionnaire" pre-test and after-test will be undertaken by the patients. Experimental group will receive acupressure treatment by the second week, trice daily, 3~5minutes each session for a course of four weeks. Data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0, using generalized estimating equation, GEE. The study hypothesized that the auricular acupressure treatment would improve post-stroke depression. Therefore, participants would be more willing to receive rehabilitation program. Our study would also help to provide future references on related studies.

Esketamine is a general anesthetic with anti-depressant effects at subanaesthetic doses. This study hypothesized that intraoperative administration of ketamine would prevent or mitigate postoperative depressive symptoms in surgical patients.
