The proposed study aims to test ixekizumab, a monoclonal antibody (mAb) against interleukin 17A (IL-17A), in patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD).

This project is designed to examine the neuronal KCNQ2/3 potassium (K+) channel subtype as a novel treatment target for mood disorders through the administration of the KCNQ-selective channel opener XEN1101 (Xenon Pharmaceuticals).

This study is comprised of three separate pharmacogenetic trials grouped into a single protocol due to similarities in the intervention, the hypotheses, and the trial design. The three trials are the Acute Pain Trial, the Chronic Pain Trial, and the Depression Trial...

Previous research has shown that modulation of a brain region in rodents, the ventral tegmental area (VTA), improves depressive symptoms. Human research has also shown that VTA self-modulation using 'biofeedback' is feasible and successful in healthy volunteers. Thi...

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 resi...

Patients presenting for normal spontaneous vaginal delivery who have a neuraxial anesthestic will be randomized to receive preservative free morphine or saline placebo after delivery.

Objectives of this study are to determine whether active VNS Therapy treatment is superior to a no stimulation control in producing a reduction in baseline depressive symptom severity, based on multiple depression scale assessment tools at 12 months from randomizati...

AMD affects 15 million Americans, with 200,000 new advanced cases diagnosed each year. AMD is the leading cause of blindness in this country, from either the “dry” or “wet” advanced forms. At present, there is no treatment for dry AMD. Besides bl...

This study's main hypothesis is that a delivering a tailored lighting intervention (TLI) will provide a successful means for promoting circadian entrainment and treating metabolic disease and inflammation in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheime...

An approximately 6000-patient, randomized, unblinded, two-arm, multicenter clinical trial comparing torsemide with furosemide among patients hospitalized for heart failure. 1:1 randomization to either oral torsemide OR oral furosemide (dosing at discretion of local pr...

Cancer related fatigue (CRF) is a stressful and constant tiredness related to cancer and/or its treatment. CRF is the most intense during treatment and can severely interfere with activities of daily living, such as tasks that require physical strength or thinking cle...

The goal of the study is to conduct a comparative randomized trial of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) vs. ketamine for patients with treatment resistant depression (TRD) in a real world setting with patient reported outcomes as primary and secondary outcome measures.

Tailored light treatment will increase sleep efficiency, reduce depression and reduce agitation scores in those with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia
