Active clinical trials for "Depressive Disorder"

An eight-week, randomized, double blind, two parallel groups, study to assess clinical response of duloxetine 60 milligrams (mg) and 120 mg per day in patients hospitalized for severe depression.

In this project we aim to further refine indications for the use of the thyroid hormone - T3 for patients suffering from depression. We aim to identify a sub-group of patients who are more likely to respond to T3 and establish the time in the treatment course when T3 should be added. The results of this project could have significant, direct clinical implications.

This study examined the benefit of continued treatment with an antidepressant medication, sertraline, in adolescents with depression who improved on sertraline acutely. We hypothesize that adolescents who remained on sertraline long term were less likely to have a recurrence of depression compared to those on placebo.

The purpose of this study is to examine the proposed suicide preventive effects of lithium in a randomized controlled trial within a group of individuals with depressive disorders. The hypothesis being tested is that lithium treatment will significantly reduce the risk for another suicide attempt.

This study will compare four types of electroconvulsive therapy to determine if they differ in their effects on mood, thinking, brain activity, and biochemistry in people with major depressive disorder.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with AZD6765 will have an antidepressant effect with patients who have treatment resistant depression.

The primary objective of the study is to determine if armodafinil treatment, at a dosage of 150 mg/day, is more effective than placebo treatment as adjunctive therapy for adults who are experiencing a major depressive episode associated with Bipolar I Disorder and who are inadequately responsive to their current treatment for a current major depressive episode.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a cognitive-behavioral treatment, that includes a caregiver-focused social support intervention, for depression in persons with Parkinson's disease. Individuals who are unable to travel to the study site, but are interested in participating and meet all other eligibility requirements, will be allowed to participate over the phone.

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of a nurse-led case management intervention in improving disease control and depression symptoms in adults with diabetes and/or heart disease who are also depressed.

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate whether treatment with (SEROQUEL SR) quetiapine fumarate sustained release (SR) for 9 weeks compared to placebo will improve depressive symptoms in elderly patients with major depressive disorder. PLEASE NOTE: Seroquel SR and Seroquel XR refer to the same formulation. The SR designation was changed to XR after consultation with FDA.
