Closed-Loop Deep Brain Stimulation for Major Depression
Neurons are specialized types of cells that are responsible for carrying out the functions of the brain. Neurons communicate with electrical signals. In diseases such as major depression this electrical communication can go awry. One way to change brain function is using electrical stimulation to help alter the communication between …
Glutamatergic Adaptation to Stress as a Mechanism for Anhedonia and Treatment Response With Ketamine
The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of ketamine on decision-making and emotion processing in a sample of individuals diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).
Neural Circuit Effects of Ketamine in Depression
This project is designed to examine the role of the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC) in anhedonia and anxiety in humans with depression, as well as the acute and sustained effects of ketamine on agACC activation and depression symptoms.
Individualized Targeting and Neuromodulation of Late-Life Depression
An open-label, single-arm, clinical research study about how to make transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), an FDA-approved treatment, more effective for patients with late-life depression using fMRI.
Psychoeducational Intervention for Families With a Member Affected by Major Depression
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is the most common mental disorder. It can be a huge burden not only for the person affected by it, but also for his/her whole family. The goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of a family supportive intervention called psychoeducational family intervention …
Accelerated Intermittent Theta-Burst Stimulation Ameliorate Major Depressive Disorder by Regulating CAMKII Pathway
Major depressive disorder(MDD) is a complex and heterogeneous mental disorder. Repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), as a non-invasive neuroregulatory technique, has shown a promising function in the treatment of depression. Theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (TBS) model significantly shortened the duration of physical therapy treatment, and iTBS under the accelerated model …
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.
Probing the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex and Central Executive Network for Improving Neuromodulation in Depression
Depression is a highly prevalent condition characterized by persistent low mood, energy, and activity that can affect one's thoughts, mood, behavior, and sense of well-being. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive neuromodulatory technique, is an effective treatment for depression when targeting the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) of the central …
Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitor (SGLT2) in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether empagliflozin, a medication in a class known as sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2) inhibitors, may reduce symptoms of depression. Since this medication helps the body make metabolites known as ketone bodies which can serve as an alternate energy source for the …
Intradermal Acupuncture Versus Sham Acupuncture and SSRI for Treating Adolescents With Major Depressive Disorder
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a prevalent mental illness characterised by influencing the health and quality of life of patients，often manifesting in individuals under the age of 18. It has been wildly confirmed that acupuncture alone or in combination with the applicable adjuvant therapy for MDD can not only relieve …
