Summary

Depression is common among cancer survivors but current screening approaches are not adequate. To help develop better strategies to screen for depression among cancer survivors, we will conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial with cancer survivors to evaluate whether a text message based approach to depression screening is feasible, acceptable, and potentially more effective than existing standard of care approaches to depression screening among cancer survivors.

List of Studies


Keywords

Summary

This study is designed as a prospective, multi-centered, double-blind, randomized, delayed-stimulation/ sham-stimulation controlled 12-month study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of bilateral stimulation of the subcallosal cingulate white matter (SCCwm) using the Infinity™ Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) system as an adjunctive treatment of non-psychotic unipolar Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) for adults who are experiencing a Major Depressive Episode (MDE) with inadequate response to 4 or more antidepressant treatments.

Modified cardiac rehabilitation to enhance post-stroke physical and psychosocial function: does depression limit the response?

Date Added
December 3rd, 2024
PRO Number
Pro00140518
Researcher
Ryan Ross

List of Studies

Keywords
Depression, Exercise, Stroke, Stroke Recovery
Summary

Cardiac rehabilitation is the standard-of-care treatment option for patients with cardiovascular disease and has been shown to improve many aspects critical to patient recovery. We believe that individuals who have had a stroke need to be treated similarly. We will study the effects of a comprehensive modified cardiac rehabilitation program to determine if it can improve some of the physical and psychosocial problems common in survivors of stroke with and without depression.

Portable Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in a Van for Treatment-Resistant Depression

Date Added
December 3rd, 2024
PRO Number
Pro00139739
Researcher
Mark George

List of Studies


Keywords
Anxiety, Depression
Summary

In this pilot study we will assemble a portable TMS(transcranial magnetic stimulation) unit, in a van, and then test out delivering TMS in Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC)-affiliated facilities in South Carolina, all within 90 minutes of driving from Charleston, SC. This work will hopefully open up access to TMS for millions of patients with treatment-resistant depression who cannot be treated in the current model.
We will recruit up to 30 treatment-resistant depression patients who live near one of the MUSC-affiliated clinics. We will treat these patients, open-label, with FDA-approved accelerated TMS (6 sessions each day, over 2 hours, for 5 days, spread over one or two weeks). We will measure TMS effectiveness using standard depression rating scales.
