Active clinical trials for "Depression"

To compare the correlation between the clinical efficacy of MECT treatment and baseline, 3 times, 8 times of treatment, 1 week after treatment, and 2 weeks after treatment in patients with depression and suicidal ideation. The prediction effect of -1β and IL-6 levels and level changes on the efficacy of MECT in the treatment of suicidal ideation in elderly patients with depression, and provide a theoretical basis for further research on the mechanism of MECT in the treatment of elderly depression with suicidal ideation.

The present study will investigate if ketamine-assisted psychotherapy during palliative radiation therapy is safe, feasible, and effective at reducing psychological distress.

Prospective observational cohort study to determine cost-effectiveness of ECT compared to medication (TCA) in the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in the Netherlands.

Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess the therapeutic effect on overactive bladder symptoms, sexual function, heart rate variability, arterial stiffness, atherosclerosis, sleep, and depression between tibolone and E2V/MPA. From the results, the investigators will compare the effect of tibolone versus E2V/MPA on overactive bladder symptoms, sexual function, autonomic function, arterial stiffness, atherosclerosis, sleep and depression.

Despite the prevalence and significant public health concern over depression among adolescents, up to 40% of depressed adolescents do not respond to first-line antidepressants (herein termed treatment non-response, TNR). The goal of this project is to recruit and assess 160 treatment-seeking depressed adolescents and test whether acute stress impacts peripheral levels of inflammation and downstream levels of glutamate in corticolimbic regions previously associated with depression, whether these stress-related biomarkers predict TNR to a 12-week trial of either fluoxetine or escitalopram, and whether these stress-related biomarkers predict 18-month clinical course.

Lithium is highly effective in the treatment of bipolar disorder. This study aims to investigate, for the first time, the impact of lithium monotherapy on the structural and functional connectivity of the brain using MRI imaging.

The purpose of this study is to test the efficacy of Our Family Our Future, an integrated intervention for preventing HIV and depression onset among adolescents.

This research study seeks to provide more insight as to how the microbiome affects or is affected by conditions causing chronic pelvic pain such as Interstitial Cystitis (IC), Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS), Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS), or Overactive bladder (OAB). Depression and many chronic pain disorders are often related and are poorly understood, and treatment is often not helpful. The goal of this study is to explain pelvic pain characteristics and causes by studying microbiomes of healthy people compared to people suffering from IC, CP/CPPS, LUTS, OAB, and Major depression.

This study will determine the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) versus educational treatment in preventing depression in the children of parents with a history of depression.

Overall, the objective of this pilot study is to utilize the IL-6 receptor antagonist tocilizumab to prospectively evaluate the role of IL-6 in the antidepressant and immunological effects of whole body hyperthermia (WBH). The study seeks to replicate findings thus far that WBH has an antidepressant effect by administering the intervention at a site not involved in studies to date. Moreover, the current proposal may help the investigators better understand the role of IL-6 in the pathogenesis and treatment of depression which might point to novel immune-based interventions for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Finally, the current proposal holds promise for better understanding of a novel treatment for MDD, which is among the leading causes of health-related disability in the world.
