Active clinical trials for "Depressive Disorder"

Mindfulness training, relaxation training, and cerebellar electrical stimulation were used to intervene in the cognitive function of healthy individuals and individuals with first episode depression

Transdiagnostic Internet-delivered Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (ICBT) is an efficacious treatment option for anxiety and depression; however, not all patients benefit equally and some leave treatment before program completion. Comorbid symptoms of insomnia are extremely common among individuals seeking ICBT, yet sleep problems are rarely a primary focus of treatment in transdiagnostic ICBT despite insomnia being a known risk factor for anxiety and depression. This trial is designed to test whether an ICBT program for anxiety and depression can be improved by providing therapy for insomnia alongside the standard transdiagnostic program. For this randomized controlled trial, patients will be randomly assigned to receive either the standard ICBT program for anxiety and depression, which includes only brief supplementary information about sleep (n = 68), or a modified version that includes a lesson specifically on sleep (n = 132). The sleep lesson will introduce patients to two key behavioural strategies: sleep restriction and stimulus control, which previous research has demonstrated are effective at reducing insomnia. Patients will monitor their sleep throughout treatment and will complete measures of insomnia, anxiety and depression before treatment, at the end of the 8-week program, and 3 months after program conclusion to allow for a comparison of patient outcomes and completion rates between conditions. The acceptability of the new intervention will also be assessed by asking participants to provide feedback on the new materials and to complete measures of treatment satisfaction and working alliance.

Investigators developed Motherly 1.0, a smartphone app designed to treat and promote maternal mental health. A 2-arm parallel-randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT) will be conducted to test the efficacy of Motherly in conjunction with brief cognitive-behavioral therapy. 70 pregnant women between 16-40 years old will be recruited. Since all interventions will be conducted online, participants will be recruited from any Brazilian state or municipality. Participants will be randomly assigned to either receive intervention via app consisting of behavioral activation and psychoeducation to promote changes in sleep, nutrition, and physical activity habits, as well as to engage in prenatal care, breastfeeding, and social support, and to stimulate child development, in addition to brief cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) (n=35); or to a comparison group receiving an psychoeducational app (active control) with psychoeducational content about gestation, maternal health and mental health, and child development in addition to brief CBT (n=35). Duration of treatment will be eight weeks, during which participants in both groups will be assessed at the beginning (baseline; T0), weeks 3-4 (midpoint; T1), and week 8 (endpoint; T2) in order to evaluate treatment effects. A follow-up postnatal assessment will also be conducted when the child is three months of age (T3).

The study team will use components of the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework to compare Cognitive Adaptation Training (CAT) to Remotely delivered Cognitive Adaptation Training (R-CAT) 1-9 within a managed care organization (MCO), targeting members with serious mental illness (SMI) needing assistance with the regular taking of medication.

This is an outpatient, 2-arm, Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the efficacy and safety of REL-1017 once daily (QD) as a monotherapy for Major Depressive Disorder.

This single-arm intervention trial administers up to 4 bi-weekly whole-body hyperthermia (WBH) sessions and 8 weekly cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) sessions to adults aged 18 years or older with major depressive disorder (MDD).

The purpose of the present randomized controlled study is to investigate if there is a difference in depression symptoms at 4-weeks among adolescents ages 16-17 years assigned to W-GenZD, a digital therapeutic, as compared to a psychoeducational control group.

The aim of the study is to investigate the efficacy and adherence of the digital self-help programme edupression.com®.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted to assess the effect of magnesium glycinate on symptoms of moderate to severe depression in 90 patients. Patients were assessed at baseline, end of the 4 weeks, and end of the 8 weeks of treatment. Patients were randomized to receive either 200 mg elemental magnesium or 200 mg placebo tablet twice daily for 8 weeks. The primary outcome measure was depression severity score assessment using Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 21 items Bangla Version (DASS-21 BV) and the secondary outcome measure was serum magnesium level estimation and side effects assessment using a preformed checklist.

The purpose of this single-arm feasibility study is to develop and pilot test a novel process-based and modular group therapy approach for patients with acute psychotic symptoms in an inpatient setting.
