Recruiting studies
- NCT03973268RecruitingPhase 1
Ketamine study to understand treatment response in hard-to-treat depression
This early-stage study tests ketamine and looks at what brain changes may explain why it helps people with major depression that hasn’t improved with usual treatments. You may be asked to stay in the hospital and complete detailed interviews, mood rating scales, and brain imaging.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT04004169Recruiting
Closed-loop deep brain stimulation for long-lasting depression
This study tests a special kind of brain stimulation that can adjust to your brain signals while treating major depression that has not improved with standard treatments. It may help people with severe, long-term treatment-resistant depression, but it requires brain surgery and frequent visits.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 22–70 - NCT04877977Recruiting
Long-Term Follow-Up for People With Mood Disorders
This study follows people with mood disorders over a long time to better understand how symptoms and functioning change. You may be able to join if you already agreed to take part in an earlier mood/anxiety study and you meet basic participation needs.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT04024917Recruiting
Cardiac coherence training to reduce anxiety before abdominal surgery
This trial tests whether “cardiac coherence” breathing/relaxation practice can lower anxiety in people with peritoneal cancer who are scheduled for a major surgery. It may help by calming stress before and around the operation.
Montpellier, HéraultAges 18 years+ - NCT04041479RecruitingPhase 3
Brain-scan guided rTMS for treatment-resistant depression
This trial tests whether using brain-related “biomarkers” from your scans to guide rTMS can improve depression that hasn’t responded to at least one antidepressant. It may help by targeting brain circuits linked to depression more precisely.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 22–65 - NCT04084795Recruiting
EMDR plus brain stimulation for fibromyalgia pain and stress
This trial tests whether combining EMDR therapy with a mild form of brain stimulation can reduce fibromyalgia symptoms, including pain and trauma-related emotional distress. It may help people whose fibromyalgia is closely linked to past trauma and current anxiety or depression.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges 18–70 - NCT04373629Recruiting
Testing how flexible appearance worries may change in BDD
This study looks at whether training can change how people with body appearance worries (including body dysmorphic disorder) perceive faces or the head. It may help researchers understand new ways to reduce distress related to these concerns.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–40 - NCT04426461Recruiting
Predicting therapy response for anxiety and depression
This study uses questionnaires (and likely computer tasks) to better predict how you might respond to behavioral therapy for anxiety and depression. If you qualify, your answers help researchers build tools to guide treatment decisions in the future.
Tulsa, OklahomaAges 18–65 - NCT04578249Recruiting
Blocking blue light at night after heart surgery
This trial tests whether reducing blue light at night after certain planned heart surgeries helps protect mood, thinking, and recovery. If you have no history of major mental health problems or organ problems, you may be able to join the study.
Morgantown, West VirginiaAges 45–75 - NCT04581902Recruiting
Study blood and brain markers in moderate to severe depression
This study looks at changes in depression “markers” to understand what treatments help and why. You’ll have non-invasive brain stimulation and scans before and after treatment, over about 8 weeks.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT04788524Recruiting
Brain and stress study in depressed teens with control feelings
This study uses brain scans and short real-life mood/stress check-ins to understand how stress and perceived control work in teens with depression. It may help researchers better pinpoint brain patterns linked to depression and how teens experience control during stressful moments.
Belmont, MassachusettsAges 14–18 - NCT07697664Recruiting
Memory and thinking through exercise in aging
This study looks at whether light-to-moderate physical activity (like walking or stretching) can help memory and thinking in middle-aged and older adults. People with normal thinking, mild memory problems, or Parkinson's disease may join if they aren't already very active.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–79 - NCT07698379Recruiting
Preventing burnout in healthcare workers with compassion therapy
This trial tests whether an online compassion-based therapy program can prevent burnout in Spanish doctors and nurses. It aims to help you manage stress and emotional exhaustion from work.
ZaragozaAges 18–75 - NCT07226011Recruiting
Fast High-Dose Brain Stimulation for Depression
This study tests a stronger, faster type of brain stimulation (called tDCS) to see if it can help treat depression. It may be a good fit if you have major depression and haven't used other brain stimulation in the past 6 months.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–70 - NCT04987957Recruiting
Music therapy to reduce anxiety during COVID-19
This study tests whether listening to music can help lower anxiety levels in people experiencing stress during the COVID-19 pandemic. You may be able to join if you’re a midwife or nurse and can complete online surveys.
BoluAges Any age - NCT05004987RecruitingPhase 4
Study brain and blood changes in older adults with depression
This study looks at how a brain protein linked to Alzheimer’s disease changes over time in older adults who have major depression but no major memory problems. It involves brain scans, blood and urine tests, and a spinal fluid sample to better understand the connection between depression and brain aging.
New York, New YorkAges 60 years+ - NCT05215353RecruitingPhase 4
Music therapy or talk therapy for anxiety after cancer
This study compares music therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to see which better reduces anxiety in people who have had cancer. You may be randomly assigned to one of the two therapy programs and will join sessions by video call.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05323864Recruiting
Altitude exposure study for anxiety and low mood
This trial looks at what happens to people with anxiety and depressive symptoms after going to high altitude with low oxygen. It may help researchers understand whether altitude affects these symptoms and how it might be managed.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 18–65 - NCT05384158Recruiting
Testing a computer game for low mood, low pleasure, or anxiety
This trial looks at how a computer-based task performs when someone is dealing with depression-like symptoms, such as low mood, low interest/pleasure, or anxiety that affects daily functioning. You might find it helpful if you fit their symptom and safety requirements and are comfortable with computer tasks and (for some parts) MRI scanning.
Roanoke, VirginiaAges 25–50 - NCT05423275Recruiting
Light treatment to help you stop antidepressants safely
This study tests whether a “light and ion” treatment can help people with major depression (MDD) who are doing well on antidepressants safely reduce or stop them. You must be in remission and be willing to discontinue for reasons like side effects or personal preference.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 19–65 - NCT05434130RecruitingPhase 2
