The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate which factors influence the effectiveness of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for depressive symptoms in real-world settings in Italy. The main questions the study seeks to answer are: Which key factors influence EMDR outcomes in terms of mediators, moderators, …
A Pilot Study of Synbiotics in Adults With Depressive Symptoms
This study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of a synbiotic formula (MQU10) in improving mood and well-being in adults with mild to moderate depressive symptoms.

Pharmacological treatments (antidepressant medication) and psychological treatments such as cognitive-behavioural therapy are available for depression, but the majority of those who receive treatment have an unsatisfactory response. On average, the combination of pharmacological and …
Neuropharmacologic Imaging and Biomarker Assessments of Response to Acute and Repeated-Dosed Ketamine Infusions in Major Depressive Disorder
Background Most medications that treat depression take weeks or months to work. Researchers want to develop fast-acting treatments. One dose of ketamine has a rapid antidepressant effect. For most people, this lasts a week or less. Repeated doses of ketamine may help maintain this effect. Objective Main Study: To study …

The study is prospective, multicenter, and observational, with a single-arm approach. The device studied, EmoDTx, is a mood-monitoring application that analyzes patients' facial expressions to assess their …
In Vivo Cortical Excitability Modulation in Major Depressive Disorder
The pathophysiology of Major Depression Disorder (MDD) is unclear, with several theories for its neurobiological mechanisms. One possible explanation is the presence of altered neuroplasticity, which can be studied by Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). Using TMS to study these mechanisms is performed by applying electromagnetic stimuli to the motor cortex, …
Neural Response to Inflammatory Challenge in Major Depressive Disorder
This is a parallel group, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study. Participants with MDD (n=90) and HC (n=90) will be randomly assigned (2:1) to receive either lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (0.8ng/kg of body weight) or placebo (same volume of 0.9% saline) administered as an intravenous bolus. This will yield the following groups: MDD-LPS (n=60), MDD-Placebo …
NMDA Modulation in Antidepressant Nonresponders With Major Depressive Disorder
Most of the current antidepressants for major depressive disorder (MDD) are based upon the monoamine hypothesis which cannot fully explain the etiology of depression. NMDA hypofunction has been implicated in the pathophysiology of depression. This study aims to examine the efficacy and safety of an NMDA enhancer (NMDAE) in the …
