Active clinical trials for "Depressive Disorder, Major"

The whole study was divided into two major parts: (A) the 12-week, double-blind, randomized controlled, parallel omega-3 fatty acid monotherapy study in 60 patients with mild to moderate major depressive disorder. (B) The double-blind, randomized controlled, parallel omega-3 fatty acid add-on prevention study in 60 patients with major depressive disorder in recovery status. The goals of this study were to examine the therapeutic and recurrence prevention effects of omega-3 fatty acids on major depressive disorder.

The purpose of this study is to assess whether the antidepressant, duloxetine, is equally effective as a treatment for subjects who have a Postpartum Onset Depression compared to subjects who have an onset of Major Depressive Disorder prior to delivery. The hypothesis is that duloxetine will be as effective in subjects with Postpartum Major Depressive Disorder as in subjects with a Major Depressive Disorder.

Evaluation of olanzapine versus placebo in the continuation therapy of subjects with major depression who had a response with additional olanzapine to an antidepressant.

The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of monthly 225 mg sc fremanezumab in adult participants with migraine and major depressive disorder (MDD) The secondary objectives are to evaluate the efficacy of monthly 225 mg sc of fremanezumab in adult participants with migraine and MDD on the reduction of MDD symptoms, responder rates in monthly migraine days, improving quality of life, improving disability, and the safety and tolerability of monthly 225 mg sc and quarterly 675 mg sc fremanezumab in adult participants with migraine and MDD. The total duration of participant participation in the study is planned to be approximately 28 weeks.

The DISCOVER randomized controlled trial is designed to evaluate the effect of automated feedback after internet-based depression screening in individuals with undetected depression. A total of 1076 individuals reporting elevated levels of depression (PHQ-9 score ≥ 10 points) will be randomized into three groups to either receive a) no feedback (control group), b) standardised or c) tailored feedback on their depression screening results.The primary hypothesis is that feedback reduces depression severity six months after screening compared to no feedback. The secondary hypothesis is that tailored feedback is more efficacious as compared to standard feedback.

Study the neuromodulation device in the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder and associated symptoms. In this study we use the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D), the Quality of Life Scale (QQLS), the Rumination Response Scale (RRS), the Brief Irritability Test (BIT), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 Item Scale (GAD 7), and the Future Orientation Scale (FOS). This study was designed to mirror real life situations, and thus patients are not asked to stop their pharmaceutical treatments. Primary hypothesis for this study is: o Daily use of the device will decrease depressive symptoms as measured by HAM-D. Secondary hypotheses for these study are: Daily use of the device will increase quality of life as measured by the QQLS. Daily use of the device will decrease rumination as measured by the RRS. Daily use of the device will decrease irritability as measured by the BIT. Daily use of the device will increase future orientation as measured by the FOS. Daily use of the device will decrease anxiety as measured by the GAD-7.

Depression is a common disorder, especially in old age, where it is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This study will investigate whether there are features of individual patients with major depression that may predict positive treatment response. The study will invite 40 patients who have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder with onset after the age of 60 years to participate. Participants will be recruited from the Mental Health of Older Adults services at the South London and Maudsley NHS Mental Health Foundation Trust. Participants will receive usual treatment as set out in standard Care Pathways, used by the clinical care team. As part of the study, they will undergo a short battery of neuropsychological tests and a standard MRI brain imaging protocol. The neuropsychological tests and assessment of depression severity will be carried out twice (at Baseline and Week 12). Data will be analysed to investigate whether there are features specific to those patients who show a good response to antidepressant treatment after 12 weeks. Identification of such predictors may help to stratify treatment approaches in the future and lead to the early identification of individual patients who may require alternative treatment approaches to standard antidepressants.

This is a preliminary, open-label, clinical trial designed to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of vortioxetine for the treatment of major depressive disorder in patients with coronary artery disease. In addition, the study will assess the effects of vortioxetine on heart rate variability in these patients.

Few studies targeting obesity in serious mental illness have reported clinically significant risk reduction, and non have been replicated in community settings or demonstrated sustained outcomes after intervention withdrawal. The researchers sought to replicate positive health outcomes demonstrated in a previous randomized effectiveness study of the In SHAPE program across urban community mental health organizations serving an ethnically diverse population.

Depression in late life has been associated with losses in functioning and quality of life, mortality, and increased health care costs. Although late life depression can be successfully treated with antidepressant medication or psychotherapy, few older adults receive adequate trials of such treatment in community in Korea. Barriers, such as loss of loved ones, medical illnesses, and social stigma associated with depression, lack of social and financial support, to effective treatment of depression can be especially problematic for older adult. Screening has been valuable in overcoming barriers to diagnosis. Over 60 year old community dwelling people will be screened for symptoms of four geriatric conditions (depression, dementia, urinary incontinence, and sleep disorder). Those who will be screened positive for each condition will be refer to clinic for diagnosis. Among them only those cases confirmed as depression by psychiatrists will be enrolled in this study. Enrolled patients will be randomly assigned to either case management or usual care conditions. The objective of the study is to test whether a system of screening, assessment, and follow-up provided by case manager improves in recognizing the target geriatric conditions (depression, dementia, urinary incontinence, and sleep disorder) and healthcare outcomes.
