Rhythm and Depression (R&B)

February 28, 2017 updated by: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Besancon

Characterization of Rhythmic Markers Associated With the Response to Antidepressants

The study aims to characterize the rhythmic parameters of unipolar depressed patients that are associated with the response to antidepressants after 6 weeks of treatment.

Study Overview

Status

Unknown

Conditions

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

Patients are included at the time of their hospitalization in the psychiatry unit. They perform rhythmic parameters recording within 48hours after the initiation of the antidepressant treatment. An evaluation of the evaluation of the severity of depression symptoms is performed at 2, 4 and 6 weeks after the initiation of the antidepressant treatment.

A correlation analysis will be performed with rhythmic parameters and the response to the antidepressant treatment.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: responder
responder to antidepressant treatment
Other: rhythmic parameter recording
the following rhythmic parameters are recording during 48 hours: temperature, heart rate and actimetry
Behavioral: psychiatric assessment
different psychometric scales are filled in: Montgomery and Asberg depression rating scale (MADRS), Quick inventory depression scale (QIDS-C16) and Beck depression inventory (BDI)
Experimental: non responder
non responder to antidepressant treatment
Other: rhythmic parameter recording
the following rhythmic parameters are recording during 48 hours: temperature, heart rate and actimetry
Behavioral: psychiatric assessment
different psychometric scales are filled in: Montgomery and Asberg depression rating scale (MADRS), Quick inventory depression scale (QIDS-C16) and Beck depression inventory (BDI)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
significant difference of temperature amplitude between responder and non-responder
Time Frame: 6 weeks

the response to the antidepressant treatment is determined by the variation of the MADRS score between pretreatment and 6 weeks of treatment.

the complete response is obtained when the MADRS score has at least a 50% decrease after 6 weeks.
6 weeks
significant difference of activity duration between responder and non-responder
Time Frame: 6 weeks
6 weeks
significant difference of RR interval of the heart rate between responder and non-responder
Time Frame: 6 weeks
6 weeks
