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 …
Validation of EmoDTx as a Digital Endpoint for Mood Monitoring in Adult Patients Suffering From Unipolar Depression
The aim of this study is to validate the EmoDTx as a digital tool for mood monitoring in adult patients with unipolar depression. 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 …
Comparing the Efficacy of Accelerated vs. Standard fMRI-guided iTBS in Treating Adolescents Depression
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a Health Canada approved treatment for major depression. Theta burst stimulation (TBS), a type of rTMS, is a very promising new treatment for major depression in adults and adolescents. However, very few studies have assessed the efficacy of accelerated, three times a day TBS …
Non-invasive BCI and Application Verification for Depressed People
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a serious mental illness and public health problem that poses threat to both physical and mental health. According to statistics from WHO, it is estimated that more than 350 million people worldwide suffer from depression, with a prevalence rate of 2.1% in China, which is …
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 …
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 …
Nebulized Ketamine for the Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder
This is a double-blind active placebo controlled clinical trial for individuals with moderate to severe depression. The purpose of this study is to assess if nebulized ketamine can reduce depressive symptoms.
Transcranial Near Infrared Radiation and Cerebral Blood Flow in Depression - R33
The purpose of this research study is to determine if application of near infrared energy to the forehead can change blood flow in the brains of people with depression. Near infrared energy is like light but is not visible to the human eye.
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 …
