Feasibility Trial of Exercise as a Priming Strategy for rTMS Treatment in Difficult-to-Treat Depression
The goal of this study is to collect feasibility data on combining structured exercise aimed to improve physical fitness, and intermittent TBS (iTBS) in treating individuals diagnosed with difficult-to-treat depression who are physically inactive. By conducting this trial, we will compare the therapeutic benefits of the combined approach against the …
Accelerated iTBS for Major Depression
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common and disabling psychiatric condition, and many patients do not achieve adequate response to standard antidepressant treatments. Accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) is a promising neuromodulation approach that may provide rapid antidepressant effects. This prospective interventional study aims to evaluate the clinical effectiveness …
Cannabidiol Oil for Treatment-Resistant Major Depression
Major depressive disorder is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, and a substantial proportion of patients do not achieve adequate improvement with conventional antidepressant treatments. Cannabidiol (CBD), a non-intoxicating cannabinoid derived from Cannabis sativa, has shown potential anxiolytic, anti-inflammatory, and neurobiological effects that may be relevant for depressive …
fMRI Neurofeedback With Matter Neuroscience App
Study will utilize an app, Matter Neuroscience, designed to help users with depression understand positive emotions and the neurotransmitters that create them. We hope to learn the safety and efficacy of neurofeedback for treating depression and lay the groundwork for a pivotal clinical trial.
A Mechanistic Study to Assess a Single Dose of CYB003 in Participants With Depression and Anxiety
The goal of this study is to learn how psychedelics may help symptoms of depression and anxiety. Participants with major depressive disorder experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety will receive one dose of either a drug related to psilocybin or a placebo. Assessments include interviews, self-report questionnaires, EEG and fMRI …
Improving Treatment of Major Depressive Disorder by Reducing Negative Future-Oriented Mental Imagery
Patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) often do not sufficiently benefit from treatment. That is, around 50% of patients with MDD do not respond to treatment and 20-30% only achieve partial remission. Future-oriented negative mental imagery (e.g., mental images of suicide or own funeral) is likely an important maintaining factor …
Social Cognition, Memory, and Executive Functions in Bipolar Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder
Bipolar disorder (BD) are common psychiatric disorders often misdiagnosed, leading to delayed treatment. Even during stable phases, individuals with bipolar disorder experience residual cognitive impairments that affect their social functioning and quality of life. This study aims to explore social cognition deficits (e.g., emotional processing, theory of mind, attribution bias) …
Digital Interventions for Adults with Treatment-Resistant Depression: a Pilot Study
The goal of this observational study is to learn about remote mental health monitoring technology for adults with treatment-resistant depression. The main question it aims to answer is: are digital mental health monitoring tools (an electronic data capture platform and wearable device (e.g., smartwatch or smart-ring)) feasible to implement alongside …
Basal Plasma Lithium Levels and Suicidal Events
Suicidal behavior is a major public health issue and there are currently no specific treatments for it. However, lithium, the reference treatment for bipolar disorder, have been shown to be effective in preventing suicidal risk. Apart from drug treatments, lithium is present in our environment and its levels varies from …
The Neural Underpinnings of Depression and Cannabis Use in Young People Living With HIV
To elucidate mechanisms of substance use disorders (SUD) and comorbid mental illnesses in people living with HIV (PLWH), the study team seeks to investigate reward and pain circuitry in cannabis use and depression comorbidity, two highly prevalent conditions in PLWH. The study team proposes a tightly integrative study to test …
