A study testing Treatment group (TG) in people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Depression, run by Fundación Pública Andaluza para la Investigación de Málaga en Biomedicina y Salud at 1 site in Spain.
Trial summary
In diabetes, web programs have been designed that have integrated cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with diabetes education, obtaining positive results in the mood of the patient. In Spain, no similar approach has been performed in people with diabetes and depression. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Assessment of the Effectiveness of a New Telematic Program for the Treatment of Depression in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes
In diabetes, web programs have been designed that have integrated cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with diabetes education, obtaining positive results in the mood of the patient. In Spain, no similar approach has been performed in people with diabetes and depression. However, the need to provide professionals with adequate tools to help people with this problem is justified.
The main objective of this project is to apply a telematic program for the treatment of specific depression for people with type 1 diabetes designed by our research team in a sample of patients with type 1 diabetes and mild-moderate depressive symptomatology of the province of Malaga. To do this, the sample will be divided into two groups: treatment group (TG) and control group (CG). The design of the study is quasi-experimental, longitudinal randomized pre-post with control group. The treatment group (TG) will receive the web treatment, which consists of 9 weekly sessions, while the control group (CG) will be evaluated in the same phases as the TG. For ethical reasons, the CG will receive the web treatment once the TG intervention has been completed. There will be a follow-up at 3, 6 and 12 months.
Read the detailed description
On the website will be collected the 9 sessions of which the treatment consists. The sessions will be weekly. Each week, the patient will find a brief summary of the previous session and an introduction to the topic, where the new session will be explained. Then, the patient will be provided with the new information (the topic treated) and different examples will be added to facilitate understanding. Once the information is presented, a summary of the key ideas of the session and a small evaluation to assess the understanding on the part of the patient will be presented. At the end of the session, the patient will have the key ideas and a self-evaluation of the session. Finally, the patient will be explained the task to be performed and sent to the therapist with an example of how to perform it. In addition, the patient will have a bibliography of each of the topics discussed. Each session will last 20-30 minutes.

Glycosylated hemoglobin test (HbA1c)
Measured: Pre treatment, post treatment (12 weeks), 3, 6 and 12 months.
Hypoglycemia
Number of mild hypoglycemia weekly and severe hypoglycaemia in the last year.
Measured: Pre treatment, post treatment (12 weeks), 3, 6 and 12 months.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Treatment group (TG) in people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Depression, run by Fundación Pública Andaluza para la Investigación de Málaga en Biomedicina y Salud at 1 site in Spain.
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 12 inclusion and 8 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 22 Mar 2018. 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 Spain. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 Mónica Carreira, PhD (+34 952136697, mcarreira@uma.es), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Depression (time frame: Change between Pre treatment, post treatment (12 weeks), 3, 6 and 12 months.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03473704, which also lists 4 linked publications.
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.
