RESISTance Exercise for Depression Trial
Depression is a leading cause of disability worldwide and current treatments are ineffective for many people. This trial will investigate the efficacy of a 16-week high vs low dose resistance exercise training program for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in 200 adults.
A Phase 2a Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of GM-2505 in Patients With MDD
This is a three-part Phase 2a study. The aim of Part A is to assess the safety and tolerability and preliminary antidepressant efficacy in patients with MDD who are not currently on an antidepressant therapy. The aim of Part B is to assess the antidepressant efficacy, safety and tolerability in …
Regulation of Affect and Physiology in Depression
Although treatments for depression are effective for many people, not everyone responds to treatment. This lack of treatment response could be due, in part, to the presence of multiple underlying causes of people's depression. This study aims to identify subtypes of depression, based on two factors: how successful people perceive …
Whole-body Hyperthermia for Depression
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of whole-body hyperthermia in major depression. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does whole-body hyperthermia alleviate symptoms of depression? Participants will be randomised to sham or active whole-body hyperthermia. The study will last 6 weeks during …
Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) for Assessment of Depression
Develop a NIRSIT testing protocol that can be administered in the diagnostic setting and reliably distinguishes the symptoms and severity of depression, with the help of repeated measure (up to five visits per subject) comparison of patients being treated for Major Depressive Disorder with control, non-depressed subjects.
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 …
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 …
Beyond Monoamines: The Role of the Nociceptin/Orphanin FQ Receptor in Major Depression
This study looks at the role of the Nociceptin/Orphanin FQ receptor system in the brain of individuals with current or past major depressive disorder (MDD). It also examines how individuals with a history of depression make certain decisions and which brain regions are involved in such decisions. Information collected through …
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.
Supportive-Expressive and Emotion-Focused Treatment for Depression
This study will explore the mechanisms of change that are activated when individuals receive a treatment that targets their weakness and the mechanisms activated when the treatment capitalize on their strength. Patients will be assigned to one of two types of psychotherapies in treating people with a major depression disorder, …
