About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the psychometric properties and utility of new, computerized, neurocognitive measures in humans with depression, and humans with depression undergoing electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). The benefits of the study outweigh the risk as there is the possibility of developing better computerized neurocognitive measures, and the risks are limited to no more than minimal test related fatigue and psychological stress.

Depressed humans, depressed human participants undergoing ECT, and humans diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (age 18-85) will be invited to participate in this study. After providing informed consent participants will undergo a clinical psychiatric evaluation to confirm the inclusion/exclusion criteria. After the clinical psychiatric evaluation, participants will complete common and new neurocognitive measures. There will be a total of two testing visits (baseline, 1-month follow-up). The anticipated duration of the participant's involvement is no more than 2 study visits that can take place over a 4-day period (i.e., the clinical evaluation can occur on day 1 and the neuropsychological measures can be administered on day 2 of each study visit) equating to approximately 6-hours (3-hours each day) per study visit.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Neurocognition, run by Duke University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 24 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Dec 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

California Verbal Learning Test-II (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Dec 2015.
