Active clinical trials for "Bipolar Disorder"

A person-centered substance use treatment component, the Natural Recovery Program, was developed in a residential substance use treatment setting. The Natural Recovery Program is comprised of small group therapy combined with pursuit of hobbies. The study examined treatment retention, treatment completion and satisfaction of participants of Natural Recovery compared to those who participated in core residential treatment activities alone.

The study aims to evaluate a psychological intervention for individuals who suffer from sleep disturbance and bipolar disorder. We are hoping that this treatment will: (1) improve the quality of life of individuals with bipolar disorder who are suffering from sleep disturbance and (2) reduce the risk of, or help prevent, episodes.

The study will be a multi-center, parallel, group, placebo control, double-blind, randomized controlled trial of lamictal as add-on maintenance treatment in pediatric outpatients (aged 10 to 17 years) diagnosed with Bipolar I disorder. The study consists of 4 phases: Screen (approximately 2 weeks), Open label phase (up to 18 weeks), Randomized phase (up to 36 weeks) and Taper and follow-up phase (up to 4 weeks).

The objective of this study was the bioequivalence of a Roxane lithium carbonate 300 mg extended release tablet formulation compared to Solvay's Lithobid 300 mg extended release tablet under fed conditions using a single-dose, randomized, 2 treatment, 2-period, 2-sequence crossover design.

The purpose of this study is to examine whether the medication pramipexole (Mirapex) may be able to improve cognitive problems (i.e. difficulties with thinking, memory, and concentration) that may be associated with bipolar disorder.

This study sets out to test the hypothesis that parameters of heart rate variability, as a non-invasive measure of cardiovascular risk, can be improved by the addition of omega-3 fatty acids in euthymic bipolar patients with a low omega-3 index and reduced heart rate variability.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate flexible doses (5-30mg) of aripiprazole versus placebo in patients with bipolar depression.

The investigators will conduct a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study of aripiprazole in 132 persons with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and bipolar I or II disorder, currently depressed or mixed phase. Primary Aim will be to assess change in alcohol use by the Timeline Followback (TLFB) method. Secondary Aim will include change in alcohol craving using the Penn Alcohol Craving Scale (PACS). Changes in psychiatric symptoms (mania/hypomania and depression) and predictors of response will be assessed. Participants with ≥ 1 drinking day at week 12 will be enrolled in a 4-week extension phase with an upward titration to 30 mg/day for those in the active treatment group. The placebo group will remain on placebo. Subjects will be discontinued from the study if any of the following conditions occurs: change in diagnosis to other than bipolar I or II disorder and AUD, development of active suicidal or homicidal ideation with plan and intent, worsening in mood symptoms, that in the opinion of the investigators requires discontinuation, pregnancy, development of severe or life-threatening medical condition, involuntary psychiatric hospitalization or incarceration, significant alcohol withdrawal (e.g. delirium tremens) based on clinical judgment (increases in Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment for Alcohol (CIWA-Ar) scores will initiate a careful clinical assessment of possible worsening of withdrawal symptoms), or cocaine or amphetamine-positive urine drug screen during the study.

This longitudinal study aims to identify 1) a composite blood-based biomarker, 2) a composite electronic Smartphone-based biomarker and 3) a neurocognitive signature for bipolar disorder

This is a smoking cessation study that will enroll smokers who have been diagnosed with a severe mental illness. The study will use a combination of intensive tobacco treatment counseling and nicotine replacement therapy to assist smokers in cutting back on and quitting smoking over the course of six months.
