1. Adolescent Biomarker Guided rTMS

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to gather information regarding the use of rTMS as a treatment for depression in adolescents with Major Depressive Disorder. The investigators also hope to learn if measures of brain activity (cortical excitability and inhibition) collected with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be used to identify which patients will benefit from certain types of rTMS treatment. 

2. A Study of Mood Symptoms in Epilepsy Patients

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to track neuropsychiatric symptoms in patients with epilepsy.

3. A Study to Assess Impulsivity and its Association with Post-Treatment Relapse in Subjects with Substance Use Disorders

   Rochester, Minn.

   Impulsivity is a major component of addictive behavior contributing to the initiation and perpetuation of Substance Use Disorders (SUDs). The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation of self-reported measures of impulsivity, neurocognitive task measures of impulsivity,  with craving intensity, the correlation of neurocognitive task measures of impulsivity, and the association between impulsivity measures and sequence variability in the A2AR gene.  

    

   
    

4. A Study of Factors That Predispose, Promote, and Perpetuate Post-Traumatic Dizziness

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to investigate whether recent, groundbreaking discoveries about key pathophysiologic processes that drive chronic dizziness in patients without traumatic brain injury (TBI9,10) are applicable to patients with post-mTBI vestibular disability. We expect the results of this project to have practical clinical and research applications, providing novel data for two future steps:

5. Systemic Inflammation Related to Mood Disorders

   Rochester, Minn.

   The overall goal is to better understand the underlying pathophysiology of mood disorders and bipolar disorders in particular. We aim to investigate whether the subclinical atherosclerotic and inflammatory markers differ between patients with bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and psychiatric non-mood disorders and healthy subjects.

6. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) in Children and Adolescents With Epilepsy and Depression

   Rochester, Minn.

   The proposed study seeks to obtain preliminary signal of the tolerability and efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for depressive symptoms in a sample of adolescents with depression and epilepsy. Additionally, effects of tDCS will be assessed via electroencephalographic, cognitive, and psychosocial measures.

7. A Study to Evaluate a Primary Care-Based Intervention for Adolescent Restrictive Eating Disorders

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility, acceptability, usability, and preliminary outcomes of a treatment protocol (FBT-PC) for PCP management of adolescent restrictive eating disorders.

8. Effects of Social Media Use on Self-esteem, Depressive Symptoms, Psychiatric Morbidity, and Physiological Markers of Stress in Adolescent Psychiatric Patients and Healthy Controls

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to contribute to our understanding of the relationships between social media use in adolescents and psychological development, psychiatric comorbidity, and physiological markers of stress. 

9. Common Mechanisms of Anti-Suicidal Drug Action

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to characterize the effects of clozapine, lithium, and ketamine on mTOR signaling, glucose uptake, and overall cellular metabolic function in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from suicidal psychiatric inpatients.

10. A Study to Promote Emotional and Cognitive Health in Patients of the Executive Health Program

    Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.

    The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of an intervention program promoting emotional and cognitive health to modify high levels of perceived daily stress and quality of life in the patients of an executive health program.
