current clinical trials for Depression and Panic Disorder

New Study for Panic Disorder - Now Enrolling
What is Panic Disorder?
Do you sometimes have sudden attacks of anxiety or overwhelming fear that last for several minutes? Maybe your heart pounds, you sweat, and you feel like you cannot breathe or think clearly. Do these attacks occur at unpredictable times with no apparent trigger, causing you to worry about having another one at any time?
If so, you may have panic disorder, a common but often undiagnosed condition. And while there are several treatments available, doctors and researchers continue to study new ways to possible better treat panic disorder in the future.
About the Study
Right now, Doctors at select centres in Australia are conducting a new clinical study for adults (ages 18 to 65) who struggle with panic disorder. That study is evaluating an investigational oral medication to see if it can reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
The study lasts about 14 weeks and involves up to 6 visits to your local study centre. These visits are an important part of the study as they allow your study doctor and staff to closely monitor your progress and results.
There is no cost to participate in the study, and you will revive all study-related care free of charge. You will be reimbursed for your travel to attend any required visits to you local study centre.
Swinburne University: Brain response to transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) in healthy people and in those with major depressive disorder
Volunteers with Major Depressive Disorder ages between 18 and 75 years are required for a research study being conducted at Swinburne University in Hawthorn. This is a study looking at the neural activations elicited by transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS).
Using a gentle electrical stimulus applied to nerve distributions in the ear, tVNS is a safe and non-invasive means of stimulating neural pathways in the brain. You will be asked to fill out a series of initial interviews and questionnaires over the phone to determine if you meet the criteria for the study. During the study you will be connected to testing neuroimaging equipment used to measure brain function while we use a low level of electrical stimulation to activate nerves in your ear.
The session will take approximately 2 hours and you will be reimbursed $150 for your participation.
