EEG-based Neurofeedback to Improve Emotion Regulation in Major Depressive Disorder: A Randomized Clinical Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether EEG-based neurofeedback targeting the emotion regulation network through swLORETA can improve emotional regulation and reduce symptoms in adults with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who have not responded sufficiently to first-line treatments. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does …
Targeting Specific Brain Networks to Treat Specific Symptoms in Depression
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a way of non-invasively stimulating specific brain networks and is an established treatment for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). This proposal will reveal network mechanisms of the therapeutic effects of rTMS by investigating how stimulating each network specifically changes network connectivity and behavior. This will …
Electroencephalography-based Precise Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Treatment
This study will focus on the hypothesis that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) based on EEG personalized modulation may be more effective in promoting symptomatic relief of major depressive disorder (MDD), and will rely on the platform of neuroimaging and function brain imaging of Shanghai Mental Health Center (SMHC), an …
Leucine in Midlife Depression
The study aims to investigate the effects of a 6-week leucine challenge on brain chemistry, connectivity, and behavior in people with midlife depression. The researchers will compare the leucine and an active comparator arm (lysine) for 6 weeks.
PET Imaging Using the Tracer [18F]VAT to Assess the Antidepressant Effect of Nicotine.
In the brain, certain nerve cells communicate using a chemical called acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is thought to be important for several functions including mood, memory and wakefulness. The purpose of this study is to explore the role of these nerve cells in depression. Also, we would like to understand how nicotine, …
Antidepressant Response of DMT Masked With Propofol
The aim of this study is to elucidate if the anti-depressive effect of N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is based on a biological mechanisms including neuroplasticity and anti-inflammatory effect or due to the subjective psychedelic experience.
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 …
The Friendship Bench Plus Trial
The goal of this randomised controlled trial is to enhance the Friendship Bench intervention with antidepressants in adults with moderate to severe depression. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the combination of the Friendship Bench with nurse-led antidepressants prescribing superior to the Friendship Bench alone? What are …
A Phase 2 Study of Zelquistinel or Placebo for the Reduction of Symptoms of Major Depressive Disorder
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if zelquistinel works to treat depression in adults. It will also learn about the safety of zelquistinel. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does zelquistinel reduce depression scores in participants compared to participants who take a placebo (a look-alike …
Home-Based Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation In Major Depressive Disorder (HOME)
Depression is a prevalent and debilitating disorder. The most common treatments are antidepressant medications and talking therapies. However, for many individuals, these are not their treatment of choice. Furthermore, even following a full course of treatment with an antidepressant or talking therapy, over one third of patients continue to be …
