Positioning of Esketamine Treatment in the Real-world Management of Depression
The goal of this naturalistic, open label, single arm intervention study is to investigate the effects of Esketamine in treating depression.The main aims to answer are: to investigate whether Esketamine is effective when added to ongoing antidepressant treatment to identify patient characteristics that will determine a therapeutic response to Esketamine …
Establishing Multimodal Brain Biomarkers for Treatment Selection in Depression
The purpose of the study is to identify brain biomarkers and characteristics that predict individual responses to treatment of major depression with the antidepressant drug sertraline (tradename Zoloft), a common selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant. Our central hypothesis is that brain activity and connections jointly measured with functional magnetic …
Amygdala Neurofeedback for Depression - Large Scale Clinical Trial
The goal of this study is to evaluate whether rtfMRI-nf training to increase the amygdala response to positive memories may serve as a stand-alone intervention for major depressive disorder
ANTIVIRAL TREATMENT OF CYTOMEGALOVIRUS IN DEPRESSION
This study aims to determine whether treatment of CMV positive (CMV+) individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) with valganciclovir (VGCV) alters neural circuitry, reduces inflammation, and improves depressive behavior and symptoms to a greater extent than placebo. In this double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled, parallel group trial, 24 individuals with a Quick …
Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) for Assessment of Depression
Develop a NIRSIT testing protocol that can be administered in the diagnostic setting and reliably distinguishes the symptoms and severity of depression, with the help of repeated measure (up to five visits per subject) comparison of patients being treated for Major Depressive Disorder with control, non-depressed subjects.
Evaluating tDCS Brain-stimulation in Depression Using MRI
Patients, physicians, and those who fund depression research are keenly interested in depression treatments that do not involve taking medications. One promising candidate treatment is transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a low-cost technique that involves placing electrodes on specific scalp locations and using a 9-volt battery to cause a small …
Study to Assess the Effects of Oral NMRA-335140 Versus Placebo in Participants With Major Depressive Disorder
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the effects of NMRA-335140 (formerly BTRX-335140) on symptoms of depression in participants with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). The study design consists of a Screening Period (up to 28 days), and a 6-week Treatment Period (during which participants will receive either …
Impact of Transcutaneous Vagal Nerve Stimulation on Stress Response in Major Depression
This study will identify the sex-dependent impact of expiratory-gated transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) on the modulation of the stress response circuitry and associated physiology in major depressive disorder (MDD). We will evaluate a sample of 80 adults with recurrent MDD randomized to receive active or sham expiratory-gated tVNS during …
Added Value of a Neuroendocrine Test Battery in the Response to Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) Treatment
The primary objective of the study is to determine the predictive value of the neuroendocrine tests TRH-∆∆TSH (thyreoliberin - thyreostimulin) and DST (dexamethasone suppression test) in the subsequent response to rTMS-TBS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation-theta burst stimulation) treatment, defined as at least a 50% decrease in depression score after 20 …
Remotely Non-invasive Brain Stimulation and Videogame to Alleviate Depression
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common, recurrent, and frequent chronic disorder. Treatment is often challenging; up to 40% of patients do not benefit sufficiently from existing antidepressant interventions including trials of medication and psychotherapy. Up to 25% of patients manifest a chronic course of illness, resulting in a need …
