Active clinical trials for "Mental Disorders"

This project's main goal is to use state-of-the-art passive sensing techniques to identify digital biomarkers that relate to bioenergetic changes in the brain due to nicotinamide riboside supplementation in those with mild cognitive impairment and mild Alzheimer's dementia.

The goal of this prospective cohort study is to study the evolution of adolescent and young people's mental health over a 12-month period after presentation to an emergency department or crisis service for an acute psychiatric episode. This study aims to: Describe the mental health care trajectories of adolescents and young adults after an acute psychiatric episode. Identify psychiatric disorders (such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, suicidal thoughts, sleep, etc.) at the different time points of the study (at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after inclusion) ; Assess the quality of life and functional capacity in daily activities of participants at each study time point ; Determine the socio-demographic, psychosocial and environmental factors associated with improving mental health over time and with mental health help seeking. Patients aged from 10 to 24, presenting to one of the participating centers for an acute psychiatric episode, and who agree to participate, will be included in the study. Participants will have to complete an online questionnaire every 3 months over a 12-month period (at baseline (T0), at 3 months (T3), at 6 months (T6), at 9 month (T9) and at 12 months (T12))

This randomized controlled study tests an adapted critical time intervention model for veterans discharged from a psychiatric inpatient unit. It is hypothesized that veterans on the inpatient unit who are assigned to such a community-based team will have shorter lengths of inpatient stay and better mental health. There have been few developments of community-based models of care in the post-deinstitutionalization era of short inpatient stays and the results of the study may inform how inpatient stays can be further reduced.

The main objective of this study is to carry out the psychometric validation of the PERMA-Profiler in a population representative of the general French population and in comparison with the reference questionnaire The PERMA-Profiler.

The project will evaluate thermoregulatory processes among individuals with and without first-episode psychosis.

A multimodal longitudinal study in early stage psychosis patients and individuals at high risk for psychosis. Healthy controls are included for baseline comparisons. The aim is to investigate disease mechanisms of psychotic disorders, specifically focusing on the synaptic pruning hypothesis.

This study is set up to better understand the current use of psychedelics in France in the general population. The present focus on individuals who have used any type of psychedelic drug in order to suppress or alleviate a psychiatric symptom in the context of a diagnosed pathology. The data are collected during a semi-structured interview and then studied in a thematic analysis.

Early intervention programs for psychosis help improve short-term treatment and recovery outcomes for individuals experiencing psychosis. OnTrackNY is a coordinated specialty care (CSC) program, developed to treat young adults within two years of experiencing a non-affective episode of psychosis. This project aims to expand the role of family engagement and support within the OnTrackNY model. Borrowing from the Needs Adapted and Open Dialogue models, the study team created a family therapy service that includes the client and members of his/her social network to navigate crises and assist in treatment planning. This service, Social Network Meetings, will be offered to individuals enrolled in the OnTrackNY@MHA program as an additional, voluntary, service option. The study proposes that the introduction of Social Network meetings may improve treatment and recovery outcomes.

The proposed pilot study is a placebo-controlled, parallel group, randomized clinical trial comparing two treatment strategies in adolescents with mania and prominent psychotic features. One group will receive a second generation antipsychotic (SGA) and placebo and the other will receive a SGA and lithium. The primary double-blind phase of the study will last 8 weeks, followed by a 24-week extension-phase.

The purpose of the study is to determine whether ibuprofen reduces post-ECT headache or reduces its severity.
