Dichotic Listening as a Predictor of Medication Response in Depression
March 29, 2018 updated by: New York State Psychiatric Institute
This study will recruit 100 depressed patients to test whether the previous finding of an association between treatment response (with treatment groups including placebo, imipramine, and fluoxetine) and preferences of hemispheric laterality in perceptual processing are also found with a different type of commonly used anti-depressant, bupropion.

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Preliminary data suggest that depressed patients with increased left hemispheric laterality of perceptual processing are unlikely to improve during 6 weeks' treatment with placebo, while being very responsive to either imipramine or fluoxetine.
Depressed patients who do not show evidence of poor right hemispheric functioning respond significantly more often to placebo than those with poor right hemispheric functioning , and do not show an advantage of drug over placebo.
100 patients will be tested with verbal and nonverbal dichotic tests, and then treated sequentially with bupropion, escitalopram, and imipramine.
Preferential hemisphere for auditory processing will be correlated with treatment outcome.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Hamilton Depression Scale (HAM-D)
Time Frame: 6 weeks or last visit in Phase
|
Hamilton Depression Scale, 21 item version Summary of all 21 items and higher score means worse depression.
Scores range from 0 to a maximum of 63.

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Clinical Global Impression Scale (CGI)
Time Frame: 6 weeks or last visit in Phase
|
The CGI is a standard measure of global psychopathology. CGI-severity scores rated on a 7-point scale, with the severity of illness scale using a range of responses from 1 (normal) through to 7 (amongst the most severely ill patients). CGI-improvement scores range from 1 (very much improved) through to 7 (very much worse). |
