How Fluphenazine Decanoate Affects Patients

Fluphenazine is a drug used to treat schizophrenia and other mental illnesses. It has not been proven to help with behavior issues in people with intellectual disabilities.

How Fluphenazine Decanoate works in the body

Fluphenazine affects dopamine receptors in the brain to reduce the production of hormones from the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. This can lead to changes in metabolism, body temperature, alertness, blood pressure, and vomiting.

D-Cycloserine + TMS for Mental Health

18+
All Sexes
Belmont, MA

This study is testing whether combining a rapid form of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), an oral medication called d-cycloserine (DCS), and therapy can improve brain flexibility and emotional control in adults experiencing moderate-to-severe depression, anxiety, or trauma symptoms. TMS is a non-invasive treatment that uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain. In this phase of the study, all participants receive active accelerated TMS (delivering multiple brief sessions in a single day) along with DCS, a medication that helps enhance brain learning and plasticity. Participants will be randomly assigned to have TMS directed at one of two brain targets: a region called the precuneus (identified using personalized brain scans) or the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (a standard area for mood treatment). Afterward, participants are randomly assigned to complete three weeks of either therapist-led talk therapy (a modified Unified Protocol) or self-guided educational videos and readings. The main goals are to determine which brain stimulation target works best and to see whether therapist-led therapy leads to more lasting symptom relief and brain changes compared to self-guided education.

Lakota Family Acceptance Program for Relationship or Family Issues

Any Age
All Sexes
Pine Ridge, SD

Although research documents the concerning rates of mental and behavioral health problems (e.g., substance use/initiation) among Indigenous LGBTQ2S+ youth, there is very little known about how to prevent these deleterious issues that devastate Indigenous communities. The study will include \~40 families (Lakota LGBTQ2S+ youth and caregivers) in Rapid City, SD (20 families (10 FAP; 10 wait-list control) and on the nearby Pine Ridge Indian Reservation (10 FAP; 10 wait-list control). Following the baseline survey, families will be randomly assigned to the treatment or wait-list control. Participants will complete an immediate post-test and 6-month follow-up survey to test the hypotheses that FAP will lead to changes in targets, specifically increases in caregiver accepting behaviors, youth and caregiver connection to Lakota culture, family bonding, and youth future orientation and decreases in caregiver rejecting behaviors, caregiver harsh parenting, and youth internalized homo/bi/transphobia compared to the control condition. The researchers will also examine the hypotheses that there will be reductions in deleterious primary outcomes (depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, suicidality) and secondary outcomes (alcohol and drug use/initiation and dating and sexual violence victimization and perpetration) among youth in the treatment conditions compared to the control condition. Additionally, the researchers will assess the acceptability and feasibility of the FAP via program observations, post-session surveys, and exit interviews.

All Sexes
San Francisco, CA

This is a double-blind, within-participant crossover, multi-site dose-finding study evaluating the safety, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of repeated low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) stimulation using the ATTN201 device across seven candidate deep-brain targets in adults with subsyndromal-to-moderate depression, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. Every session delivers active ATTN201 stimulation; there is no sham or placebo condition. Participants and the on-site study staff who deliver stimulation and administer the clinical scales are blinded to the brain target and to the stimulation parameters assigned for each session by a constrained Bayesian optimization algorithm.

All Sexes
Colorado Springs, CO

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a family-based treatment called Parenting-STAIR-Modular (PSTAIR-M) can help military parents recover from trauma, strengthen emotion regulation skills, and improve parent-child relationships. Participants will be trauma-exposed active-duty Service Members (SM) or their spouses who screen positive for PSTD and/or depression, and one identified child (ages 2-10). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1) Does PSTAIR-M reduce parental PTSD and depression symptoms, lower parenting stress, and improve child behavior compared to treatment-as-usual?; and 2) Is PSTAIR-M feasible and acceptable when delivered to military families stationed overseas? Researchers will compare PSTAIR-M to treatment-as-usual (TAU) to see if PSTAIR-M leads to greater improvements in parental PTSD, depression, parenting stress, emotion regulation, child maltreatment risk, and child behavior than usual care. Participants will: 1) attend 12-16 weekly, 1-hour online treatment sessions with their assigned clinicians, 2) complete three 1-hour online assessments administered by research staff, 3) engage with their child in three 15-30-minute online, observed play sessions, 4) have assessments and observed play sessions audio and video recorded.

Behavioral Activation for Depression and Autism

12 - 17
All Sexes
Stony Brook, NY

Autism spectrum disorder is characterized by differences in social communication/interaction and the presence of restricted/repetitive behaviors, with significant heterogeneity in terms of autistic features, language ability, and cognitive characteristics. About 2-3% of individuals in the United States are autistic, and most autistic individuals have co-occurring mental health conditions. Autistic people are 3-4 times more likely to experience depression than non-autistic people. Of the emerging depression treatment research with autistic people, none to date has focused on developing and testing a depression treatment for autistic youth with below average cognitive abilities - a group which comprises over 50% of the autistic community. Therefore, this study seeks to evaluate the feasibility (Aim 1), acceptability (Aim 2), and preliminary treatment effects (Aim 3) of an extension of Behavioral Activation for Depression in Autistic Adolescents (BA-A), adapted to meet the needs of cognitively lower functioning autistic youth.

Philadelphia, PA

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) affects brain circuits involving the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC) in adults with depression. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can brain responses in the sgACC before treatment predict improvement in depressive symptoms following TMS? * Does a 6-week course of active TMS, compared with sham TMS, change brain responses in the sgACC? * Are changes in sgACC responses during treatment associated with changes in depressive symptoms? Researchers will compare active TMS with sham TMS to evaluate changes in the targeted brain circuit and depressive symptoms. Participants will: * Receive active or sham TMS every weekday for 6 weeks * Undergo MRI scans with TMS before, during, and after the 6-week intervention to measure brain responses to stimulation * Complete clinical assessments, questionnaires, and cognitive testing * Complete follow-up assessments after the intervention

All Sexes
Chicago, IL

This study is being done to better understand the complex relationship between mental health and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), with a particular focus on symptoms of depression and anxiety. While depression and anxiety have traditionally been viewed as reactions to the burden of living with IBD, new research suggests that the biological factors involved in IBD may also contribute directly to these mental health challenges. This study aims to evaluate whether a virtual, group-based psychological treatment is both acceptable and feasible for patients with IBD who experience significant depression and/or anxiety. Researchers will also evaluate participants' depression, generalized anxiety, and associated psychosocial factors (poor sleep quality, GI-specific anxiety, fatigue) before, during, and after treatment. Finally, researchers will evaluate disease severity as it relates to mental health status by comparing it to symptoms, biochemical disease and tryptophan metabolites from blood and stool samples. People who agree to join the study will be asked to attend three in-person visits and 10 virtual group psychotherapy sessions over 11 weeks. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires, give stool and blood samples, and the research team will collect information about participations from medical records.

Suicide Prevention Program for Suicidal Thoughts

12 - 30
All Sexes
Los Angeles, CA

Young people at clinical high risk for psychosis are more likely to experience suicide thoughts than the general population, but there are few suicide prevention programs designed specifically for them. This study will develop and evaluate a recovery-oriented suicide prevention group program for young people at clinical high risk for psychosis. The program will be led by a clinician and a peer with lived experience. It will help participants identify reasons for living, build hope, set meaningful recovery goals, strengthen social connections, and learn strategies to better remember and use suicide prevention strategies developed during the program. Caregivers will also be invited to participate in a session to learn ways to support their young person. The study will first gather feedback from participants, caregivers, clinicians, and community advisors to refine the program. Researchers will then compare the program plus standard care with standard care alone to determine whether it improves personal recovery and increases participants' ability to remember and use suicide prevention strategies. Researchers will also collect feedback from participants and program staff to better understand how the program can be integrated into early psychosis services.
