Active clinical trials for "Depressive Disorder"

This research aims to elucidate mechanisms through which change occurs during cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for depression. Assessing meta-cognitive processes of self-knowledge (top-down), electrophysiological and behavioral correlates of emotion processing (bottom-up), and their relation to treatment outcome will provide new insights into the mechanisms of emotion regulation deficits in depression. It will also contribute toward the clinical goal of identifying patients who may benefit most from CBT for unipolar depression.

The purpose of this study is to test two differently worded versions of the Shared Decision Making Process scale in a sample of adults who have recently made a decision about treatment of depression. The main goals are to gather evidence of reliability, to test whether the generic version has similar psychometric performance to the original, and to extend generalizability of the findings to younger adults.

This cohort study is a large population-based study in the UK to determine the risks of comorbid mental health conditions (including depression, anxiety and other potential psychological complications of vitiligo) in adults with vitiligo compared to controls and to evaluate whether the relative risks may vary by different ethnicity.

This study is a large population-based analysis in the United Kingdom (UK) using routine primary care data to investigate the risk of mental health conditions in children, adolescents and young adults with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, compared to those without Inflammatory Bowel Disease. The study will also compare the impacts on quality-of-life outcomes and use of healthcare services between people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease with and without mental health conditions.

To assess the depression in adults especially in post COVID-19 duration in the rural and urban settings.

The covid-19 pandemic started to spread worldwide since December 2019. It promoted to an exaggerated psychological stress and anxiety in humans due to the intolerable symptoms higher than usual death of many infected patients. This study examines the corona related anxiety and if there is need for drug intervention to treat this anxiety. To answer these questions, a survey made to the hospitalized patients including sex, age, educational level, Marital state, and a standardized questionnaires (GAD-7 and PHQ-9) which has been validated and shown to possess good psychometric qualities in studies of participants from multiple populations.

Maternal attachment, Edinburgh depression scoring, and postpartum anxiety scale are evaluated in patients with covid-positive pregnancies in the 3rd month after birth.

The purpose of this study is to (a) measure how brain structure, metabolism (how the brain uses energy), and function predict response to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for treatment of depression; and (b) measure how ECT changes brain metabolism and function. We will ask you to undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at three sessions: (1) prior to your first ECT therapy session, (2) after having 4-6 ECT therapy sessions, and (3) approximately two months following your first ECT therapy sessions.

The aims of this study are to investigate whether pelvic pain and low back pain disability are associated with postpartum depression and to compare the prevalence between women without Low back pain and disability and women with Low Back Pain (LBP) and disability every trimester, and correlate postpartum Depression and some clinical and biopsychosocial variables: subgroups of LBP, disability, pain intensity, pain widespread and nationality, in a cohort of Spanish women at 2 months postpartum.

To facilitate the development of a personalized approach to the treatment of patients with major depression, this study is designed to elaborate the clinical and neurobiological phenotype of depressed patients with increased inflammation. The data obtained in this proposal will allow the investigators to test the hypothesis that depression and inflammation interact to elaborate a relatively discreet phenotype that warrants an individualized approach to diagnosis and treatment of patients with depression. Moreover, the identification of specific environmental risk factors for inflammation will foster the elaboration of preventative strategies for patients at risk.
