Sleep to Reduce Incident Depression Effectively in Peripartum
Perinatal depression (PND) is the most common complication in pregnancy and postpartum, which increases risk for adverse perinatal outcomes such as preterm birth, maternal suicidal thoughts, and impaired mother-infant bonding. Insomnia often precedes PND cases and may serve as an entry point for interventions preventing PND. The proposed project is …
Assessing Improvements in Mood and Sleep Trial
This is a multi-site randomized control trial involving people age 55+ years who have current depression symptoms plus another suicide risk indicator (either current suicidal ideation or a past history of attempt). Our goal is evaluate which of two different approaches works best to improve things like trouble sleeping, bad …
Comorbid Obesity and Depression With an Anti-inflammatory Medication
Research suggests that only a subset of individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) may benefit from anti-inflammatory treatments: those who have C-reactive protein (CRP) ≥3 mg/L, a commonly used threshold for "low-grade" inflammation. The emerging link between metabolic and immune abnormalities in MDD suggests that individuals with comorbid obesity and …
Understanding and Treating Suicidal Ideation With Ketamine
The goal of this clinical trial is to treat active suicidal ideation in individuals with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) using ketamine and to understand suicidal ideation by examining biological mechanisms using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and psychological mechanisms through validated clinical scales and qualitative interviews. The main questions it aims …
Neurobiology of Suicide
Background There are no good treatments for people considering suicide. Researchers want to study suicide with questions, blood tests, brain imaging, and sleep studies. They hope to better understand suicide, so they can help suicidal people. Objective To understand what happens in the brain when someone has thought about or …
Patient-oriented Randomized Pragmatic Feasibility Trial with RTMS in Depression and Anxiety
This trial compares intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) to low frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (LFR) in regards to depression and anxiety outcomes in 100 patients with treatment resistant depression (TRD).
Biomarker-guided rTMS for Treatment Resistant Depression
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a treatment for depression. The investigators are continuing to learn how to optimize outcomes from rTMS treatment. The purpose of this research project is to use brain network connectivity patterns as measured by resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to confirm a way …
Antidepressant Effects of Nitrous Oxide
To evaluate the acute and sustained antidepressant effects of nitrous oxide in people with major depressive disorder; and further evaluate these effects by identifying the optimal dose and regimen to guide current practice, and to plan a future large pragmatic trial.
DBS for TRD With the Medtronic Percept PC
Of the estimated 30 million Americans who suffer from Major Depressive Disorder, approximately 10% are considered treatment resistant. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) to a region of the brain called the subcallosal cingulate (SCC) is an emerging strategy for treatment resistant depression (TRD), which involves placement of electrodes in a specific …
aiTBS for Relieving NSSI in Depressive Patients
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been successfully used to help patients with treatment resistant depression. However, its role in alleviating self injuries without suicidal ideation remained uncertain. This trial will compare the effectiveness of active accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (aiTBS) rTMS to a placebo control on non-suicidal self …
