About this study

Official title: Assessment of Cardiac Autonomic Behavior in Patients With Mood Disorders With a Focus on the Chaos Theory

The purpose of this study is to characterize the behavior of cardiac patients with Mood Disorders and its clinical course, interpreting the results from a theoretical framework of Chaos Theory and Complexity Theory and Systems as well.

Read the detailed description

Mood disorders are strongly associated with changes in cardiovascular function and alterations in Hear Rate Variability (HRV). Fluctuation in heart rate occurs over a wide frequency and demonstrates a broad, irregular variability that suggests that the mechanisms involved in cardiovascular regulation interact in a nonlinear manner. Over the past decade, there has been an increasing emphasis on applying nonlinear methods of analysis to characterize cardiac function, but the studies on the pathophysiology of mood disorders in general still remain under a linear and reductionist perspective. The scarcity of both Brazilian and international studies on the autonomic behavior in mood disorders in general and not only in Major Depressive Disorder, as well as the use of a non-linear reading of the results of this study makes an additional tool of analysis.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression(HAM-D-17)-17 ; Montgomery & Asberg Rating Scale for Depression(MADRS); Escala de Avaliação de Mania de Bech-Rafaelsen (EAM-BR); Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI.

    Both scales for depression and mania will be compared with the linear and nonlinear results from the heart rate variability in the period of 3 months.

    Measured: 3 months (period between the first and the second assessments)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Polar RS800CX hear-rate monitor; Kubios HRV version 2.0 software; Visual Recurrence Analysis software.

    The heart rate variability will be obtained from 20-min R to R wave (RR) interval data using the Polar. The data will be estimated by analysis from both softwares.

    Measured: 3 months (period between the first and the second assessments)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mood Disorder and Mania, run by Sao Jose do Rio Preto Medical School at 1 site in Brazil.

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 1 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Sep 2019. 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 Brazil. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Guilherme L. Wazen, Psychiatrist (055-17-9117-3927, wazenguilherme@yahoo.com.br), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression(HAM-D-17)-17 ; Montgomery & Asberg Rating Scale for Depression(MADRS); Escala de Avaliação de Mania de Bech-Rafaelsen (EAM-BR); Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI. (time frame: 3 months (period between the first and the second assessments)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01272518, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Sep 2019.
