Effect of Psychobiotics With Standard Antiddepressants in Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether adding psychobiotics (a combination of Lactobacillus helveticus and Bifidobacterium longum) to standard antidepressant treatment works better than antidepressants alone for adults with major depressive disorder. The study will also learn about the safety of taking these psychobiotics with antidepressants. The …
Repeated Real-time Biofeedback With 7-Tesla MRI for Treatment of Depression
Previous work demonstrated that individuals are able to self-regulate their ventral tegmental area (VTA) activity using real-time biofeedback. The current study expands this approach to a larger sample with repeated training sessions to more robustly characterize the effects of VTA modulation. The study will assess change in mood and motivation-related …
Investigating Functional Changes in the Frontotemporal Cortex of Patients With Major Depressive Disorder Following Electroconvulsive Therapy or Magnetic Seizure Therapy Using Functional Near-infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS)
Against the clinical backdrop of the growing global burden of neuropsychiatric disorders, the rapid rise in depression prevalence, and the frequent association of these conditions with cognitive impairment, this study highlights the limitations of current cognitive assessment tools-such as their time-consuming nature and lack of specificity-and underscores the urgent need …
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Depression

Emotional bias is an essential component of characterized depressive episodes, leading depressed patients to attribute a more negative …
IMPACT-D+: Immune-Modulating and Psychometric Effects of Accelerated TMS in Depression Plus Comorbid Post-COVID-19 Condition
This is a monocentric, randomized pilot study conducted at the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry, Munich. The study investigates the effects of two different intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) schedules on biological and clinical outcomes in patients with depression and comorbid Post-COVID-19 condition (PCC). Participants will be randomized into two arms, …
Psilocybe Cubensis Mushrooms With or Without Fluoxetine for Refractory Depression
This Phase 2a pilot, exploratory, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial will estimate whether concurrent fluoxetine alters the antidepressant effect, acute psychedelic experience, or safety of a psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy session in adults with treatment-resistant major depressive disorder (TRD). Eligible participants (ages 25-64) have DSM-5-TR MDD, moderate-severe, MADRS ≥20, and partial response …
M3VAS Validation in Polish Population
Low mood and anhedonia represent the fundamental symptoms of major depressive disorder (MDD). Nevertheless, there is currently no standardized visual analogue scale available to assess the extent of both symptoms concurrently. The Maudsley 3-item Visual Analogue Scale (M3VAS) is a newly developed tool for participants to self-assess core symptoms of …
Intervention Effect of Temporal Interference Stimulation (TIS) on Depressive Disorder
To investigate the effect of Temporal Interference Stimulation (TIS) on associative memory (AM) in patients with depressive disorder
Music Therapy for Adolescents with Emotional Difficulties
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effects of a music therapy program in adolescents aged 13-18 years old with emotional difficulties, primarily depression and possibly concurrent diagnoses of anxiety. The main questions are: What recruitment methods, barriers, and facilitators influence study participation among adolescents with emotional …
