Prospective Cohort Study of Response and Tolerability of Accelerated Intermittent Theta-burst Stimulation (1W-AiTBS)
Intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS), a variant of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), is a well-documented treatment for depression. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an accelerated iTBS protocol (1W-AiTBS) in routine clinical practice. In the accelerated protocol, patients receive 600 pulses per session, for a …
Allopurinol in Depression
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is one of the most common psychiatric disorders with serious socioeconomic consequences on daily life and health care costs. Despite the advent of newer antidepressants that target monoamine pathways, nearly 50% of patients have no response to first-line antidepressant therapy. Thus, a combination of medications with …
Comparison of the Efficacy of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation at Home Versus in Hospital Settings in Patients With Depressive Episodes
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a neuromodulation method that modulates brain activity using low-intensity electrical current. Used in the treatment of depression, it is easily adaptable for both caregivers and patients, with good tolerance, under appropriate supervision. Allowing patients to perform tDCS at home could address issues of access …
Study on iTBS Regulating the Reward Circuit Function to Improve Anhedonia in Depression
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the proposed intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) protocol can effectively improve anhedonia symptoms in depressed patients. The stimulation targets in our protocol include (1) dual-target stimulation at the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). (2) single-target stimulation …
Comparing the Efficacy of fMRI-Guided vs. Standard iTBS in Treating Depression
In this triple-blind randomized controlled trial, we ask if targeting intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) based on individual resting state connectivity improves treatment outcomes in major depressive disorder (MDD). For the trial, we will recruit 210 patients with major depressive disorder. Each patient will undergo a 30-40-minute MRI scan, after …
Cerebral and Anti-inflammatory Response Through Exercise - Mechanisms In Depressive Disorders
The goal of this clinical trial is to study how physical exercise works when applied to patients diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). The main questions it aims to answer are: What are the antiinflammatory and oxidative stress and neural mechanisms involved in the antidepressant effects of exercise? How effective …
Effectiveness of an Ecological Momentary Emotion Regulation Intervention
This two-armed randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the effectiveness of an emotion regulation intervention in individuals with and without depressive disorders. The study encompasses participants diagnosed with mild to moderate major depression or persistent depressive disorder and healthy controls without a current depressive disorder. Participants will be randomly assigned …
Psilocybin for Depression in People With Mild Cognitive Impairment or Early Alzheimer's Disease
This open-label pilot study examines whether the hallucinogenic drug, psilocybin, given under supportive conditions, is safe and effective for depression in people with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or early Alzheimer's Disease (AD). This study will also assess whether psilocybin may improve quality of life in those individuals.
IMPACT (IMproving Proactive Approaches for Cancer Survivors' Mental Health Treatment)
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate a mobile application (app) for depression treatment called "Moodivate" among cancer survivors. Moodivate was developed by our research team to assist with the treatment of depressed mood. Participants will be randomly assigned to either download the mobile app, "Moodivate", or not. …
Maternal Mental Health Trial
Perinatal depression affects 10-15% of women postpartum and has a recurrence rate of 40%. Women who develop perinatal depression might be particularly susceptible to the rapid and large changes in sex steroid hormones, particularly estradiol, across pregnancy to postpartum. This trial aims 1) to evaluate the preventive effect of transdermal …
