Brain study of mood changes in depression and bipolar disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a mobile app and brain scans to understand day-to-day mood changes in people with depression or bipolar disorder. It may help doctors learn how to better predict and treat these conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have depression (diagnosed in the past year) or bipolar disorder (with a mood episode in the past year).
- You can use a mobile app for daily check-ins over 12 months.
- You are covered by French social security and can give written consent.
- If you do an MRI, you must not have metal implants, a pacemaker, or be pregnant.

This study uses brain scans to understand how people with bipolar disorder or major depression control their impulses. It compares patients with healthy volunteers to find differences in brain activity.
This study tests a smartphone app (EmoDTx) that monitors mood in people with unipolar depression. It aims to see if the app can provide helpful digital measurements of your mood.
This study watches how a person’s mood and movement change over time, and how those patterns relate to bipolar disorder. It may help researchers better understand the condition in families and potentially improve future care.
This study uses a smartphone and a wrist-worn activity tracker to look for early signs of mood episodes in people with bipolar disorder or recurrent depression. You'll wear a smartwatch and use an app to help researchers find patterns that could predict future mood changes.
This trial tests whether a smartphone app combined with brain scanning (fMRI) can help people with depression. You will get real-time feedback on your brain activity to learn how to improve your mood.
This study uses your smartphone and a Fitbit to track mood patterns and see if they can predict depression. You may join as someone with a mood disorder, as a healthy volunteer, or as someone at higher risk for mood problems.
