antidepressant/seizures

Nowadays, depression has become one of the serious mental diseases that affect human's life. With the acceleration of life pace and social pressure, the incidence of depression is increasing year-on-year. According to the statistics of the WHO, by 2017, there were more than 300 million people

Background and Significance of the Proposed Project Over 80% of Americans are exposed to a significant trauma sometime during their lifetime and approximately 7% will meet for a threshold diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder. PTSD is the most costly anxiety-related disorder and confers

STUDY OBJECTIVE The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate feasibility of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) treatment for depression at stimulation frequencies other than 10 Hz. The objectives for this study are: 1. to determine if each subject's frequency response

Purpose and aims The purpose of the study is to determine the electrical current stimulus for electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) that produces the optimal balance between antidepressant effect and memory disturbance. Specifically, this study aims to compare 0.5 ms and 1.0 ms pulse width

OVERVIEW The experiment will consist of four days. Day 1 will include informed consent, questionnaires, a behavioral approach test with a spider, a series of short exposures with a spider, and the first TMS treatment (for a total of approximately 75-90 minutes). Day 2 will occur one to two days

Current literature provides insufficient information on the degree of cognitive impairment during and after electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), mostly due to the fact that applied tests lacked sensitivity and flexibility. Our goal was to evaluate cognitive functioning in adult depressed patients

Despite advances in antidepressant interventions, none has replaced electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in its acute efficacy and spectrum of action in severely depressed patients, including in psychotic depression, catatonia, and acutely suicidal patients. However, ECT carries a risk of significant

There is considerable inter-individual variability in therapeutic drug response, required dosage and adverse effects in psychotropic treatment. Few patients experience a remission of their illness when initially treated with any medications.1,2 In those who remain symptomatic, less than half will

rTMS has appeared a potential new non-invasive antidepressant method, which implies nonconvulsive focal stimulation of the brain through a time varying magnetic field. RTMS is based on the principle of electromagnetism. An electromagnetic coil placed on the scalp produces a time-varying magnetic

Problem Statement: Depression is a global health problem with limited novel and targeted solutions. Currently available interventions (medication and psychotherapy) have failed to provide adequate clinical improvement in 40% of adolescents with depression and only produce remission in 30% of youth.

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) serves as an effective adjuvant or alternative modality for major depressive disorder, schizophrenia, or bipolar affective disorder refractory to or contraindicated to psychopharmacological treatment. Anesthetics have been introduced into ECT sessions to alleviate

Tobacco Treatment Research Program (TTRP).The TTRP led by Dr. Darla Kendzor and located at the University of Oklahoma Health Science Center (OUHSC), offers free tobacco cessation treatment to adults from campus or the community who would like to quit using tobacco. The proposed study would take

The novel brain stimulation treatment, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), is a potential first-line treatment for major depression. tDCS generates a small electric current which modulates how easy it is for active brain cells to discharge. The device is a neoprene cap worn over the

MATERIALS AND METHODS After approval of the institutional Ethics committee board, written informed consent will be taken from all the eligible and willing patients. A. Study design: Randomized double blind active controlled parallel group noninferiority clinical trial. B. Randomization: A variable

Poorly controlled T1DM can lead to serious and devastating complications, including microvascular (retinopathy, neuropathy and nephropathy) and cardiovascular disease. Both diabetic microvascular and cardiovascular complications can be reduced by intensive insulin therapy and strict blood glucose
