This study tests if breathing pure oxygen in a special chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can help people who have been depressed since having a stroke. It may offer a new way to treat depression that hasn't improved with standard medications.
This Phase 2 study tests allopregnanolone (ALLO) to see if it can improve moderate-to-severe depression symptoms in people with a history of mild traumatic brain injury from military service. You may be screened to make sure your depression is “major depressive disorder” and that other conditions and medication factors won’t interfere.
This study looks at how the medicine zuranolone (taken for postpartum depression) works in real life for people who got a prescription within a year after their pregnancy ended. Researchers want to see if symptoms improve and how participants feel while taking it.
This study checks how people with postpartum depression feel over time after starting zuranolone. It uses simple questionnaires to track changes in symptoms.
This trial studies a natural brain chemical called allopregnanolone in women with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) that responds to SSRI antidepressants. It aims to understand how the brain adapts and whether this treatment could help.
This trial tests whether allopurinol, a medication typically used for gout, might help reduce depression symptoms when added to standard depression treatment. Researchers believe it may work by reducing inflammation in the brain that contributes to depression.
