Active clinical trials for "Depression"

The investigators propose to examine both resting state activity and functional activity during rumination and during self-processing to study the relationship between neural correlates of rumination/self-focus and self-processing in major depression and bipolar disorder.

Differences in pain perception between subjects with and without psychiatric illness may be influenced by the individual experience, and not primarily by the pathology, although the pathological frame may amplify it.The aim of this study is to establish if the characteristics of experimental pain feeling are influenced by the past pain experience, anxiety and emotion, independently from the diagnosis. The pain experience will be evaluated by an inventory of the potentially painful situations that one can come across through the life, to determine the following points : Number of painful events in the past, number of painful points during the last 6 months, number of painful events lasting more than 6 months, sum of pain intensities (graduated with Visual Analogic Scale VAS from 0 to 10), sum of gravity (evaluated from 0 to 5), the category of pain experience qualification (mostly affective, mostly sensorial, or both). Schizophrenic, depressed and control participants will be recruited, and their pain experience throughout life will be put it in relation to experimental pain tests results (pressure application, ischemia induction), anxiety and emotion (Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale HAD), catastrophizing (Pain Catastrophizing Scale PCS), Heart Rate (HR) variation, Blood Pressure (BP) variation.

The purpose of this retrospective observational study is to evaluate the characteristics of patients receiving Seroquel XR as treatment for their Major Depressive Disorder. The study will also investigate how the medication is used for these patients and if there are any differences in drug utilisation between the included countries. The study is observing patients initiating Seroquel XR during a 9 month period corresponding to 3 to 12 months following the launch of the product in each country for the MDD indication. A drug utilisation questionnaire will be used to collect study data from patients' medical records.

The main objective of this study is to compare the rate of reported anxiety / depression (HADS >= 8) among spouses and other family members in ICU patients.

Depression in patients with schizophrenia is common. Several factors was found to be associated with depression including medical illness, quality of life, positive symptoms, and typical antipsychotics. The Calgary depression scale of schizophrenia (CDSS) is commonly used for screening depression in schizophrenia,however; the Thai version of CDSS has not been validated. This study aims to a.) test the reliability and validity of the Thai version of Calgary depression scale of schizophrenia (CDSS) and b.) identify the prevalence and factors associated with depression in patients with schizophrenia including quality of life, type of antipsychotic drugs, and severity of schizophrenia in 60 patients with schizophrenia at the Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University, Thailand.

Treatment resistant depression (TRD) is a major health concern, with 10% of patients with major depressive disorder not responding to conventional treatments. The investigators propose to compare the MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) brain scans of patients with TRD, which were collected during surgical planning for deep brain stimulation, with age, sex, handedness and education-matched healthy volunteer controls, to investigate anatomical differences, specifically the volume of certain brain structures.

PRODE is a Norwegian multicentre study investigating the prognosis of depression in the elderly. The study has included 169 patients who will be followed with assessments after one and three years. The study hypothesis is that elderly patients referred to specialist health service have a poor long term prognosis.

This study aims to investigate reward learning across the mood disorder spectrum and to investigate the predictive validity of reward learning for subsequent symptom severity.

Aim of the study is to evaluate if Temperament, Anxiety and Depression can affect Immunity and influence Survival in Colorectal Cancer Patients

Demonstrate that the IPREA3 program (Study: Impact of Multicomponent Intervention to Reduce Perceived Discomforts of the patients in intensive care) reducing discomforts perceived by the patients of intensive care, implemented at the level of the whole intensive care unit, reduce the incidence of the depressive symptoms one year after intensive care exit.
