1. A Study of Mood Symptoms in Epilepsy Patients

   Rochester, Minn.

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

2. 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. 

3. 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:

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 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. 

8. 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.

9. Advanced Care Planning in Dementia

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The goal of this study is to gain a better understanding of the status of advanced care planning among caregivers of patients with dementia and examine how this differs by race and disease stage.

10. A Study of Trans Sexualities

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to qualitatively examine and describe the ways in which trans people experience sexuality (desire, eroticism), and to explore how trans individuals describe the connections between gender and sexuality.
