Bipolar Disorder

Clinical Trials

Below is a list of Bipolar Disorder clinical trials from the clinical trials database at Mayo Clinic.

This list includes only trials about which Mayo researchers choose to publish information. Mayo Clinic may be conducting other trials which are not in this database. Mayo's clinical trials include experimental treatments, often unavailable elsewhere, which frequently lead to improved patient care for people worldwide. Patients should ask their doctor at Mayo about clinical trials appropriate for their situation.

Development of Lithium Imaging on a 3T MRI System for the Treatment of Bipolar Disease
Develop an imaging technique to measure brain lithium levels. This could potentially improve the ability to predict lithium responses based on brain lithium levels rather than serum lithium levels.

While lithium is an effective medication for some bipolar patients, it doesn't work in others. We're trying to develop a new MRI scan to measure brain lithium levels in order to predict who will respond best to lithium therapy.
