Adaptive Messaging for Depression
Chicago, Illinois
This is a pilot randomized controlled trial of an adaptive 8-week text messaging intervention for depression self-management. Among 100 individuals with elevated depression symptoms, the investigators will compare the effects of 8 weeks of the adaptive text messaging intervention (n=40) to 8 weeks of a non-adaptive text messaging intervention (n=40), and 8 weeks of a psychoeducation-only intervention (n=20). The investigators will include a 6-month post-treatment follow-up to verify that treatment gains are maintained.
Both messaging arms will receive 8 weeks of daily text messaging. Messages will prompt learning and applying cognitive and behavioral self-management strategies. Whereas the non-adaptive messaging system will randomly select daily messaging styles (representing a variety of self-management strategies and message tones), the adaptive messaging system will apply reinforcement learning to select daily messaging styles to maximize user engagement. Text messages will also be used to solicit feedback such as message ratings to inform the reinforcement learning algorithm (if applicable). The psychoeducation control group will receive a few brief text messages per week providing weblinks to access psychoeducation information.
The investigators will recruit participants through digital methods (e.g., advertising on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram).
Administration of study measures will occur at baseline, weeks 4 and 8, and 3-month and 6-month follow-up. The primary outcomes is depression symptom severity (PHQ-9). Secondary outcomes are: anxiety severity (GAD-7) and suicidality (DSI-SS). Using an Intention to Treat paradigm, the investigators will test our hypothesis that:
H1: Relative to the psychoeducation-only control, messaging interventions will reduce depression (H1a) and anxiety and suicidal ideation (H1b).
H2: Relative to non-adaptive messaging, adaptive messaging will reduce depression (H1a) and anxiety and suicidality (H2b).
H3: Adaptive messaging will reduce depression relative to non-adaptive messaging by producing greater objective and subjective engagement.

AI-Powered Counseling for Depression and Anxiety
Chicago, Illinois
Approximately 200 Participants with mild-to-moderate, untreated depression and/or anxiety will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to 1 of 3 study groups: Lumen Coached Problem-Solving Treatment (PST) (n=100), Human Coached PST (n=50), and optional (delayed) Lumen Coached PST as waitlist control (n=50) to improve emotional health. All participants will complete assessments at baseline and at 18 weeks post randomization.
Depending on the group assignment the PST program will be delivered by Lumen, a virtual voice-based coach on a study iPad, or by a human coach in person for the first session and then via videoconference or phone for the remaining 7 sessions. Participants assigned to the waitlist control group can receive the Lumen coached PST on a study iPad after completing their 18-week follow-up assessment.
Participants will receive 8 coaching sessions to learn problem-solving skills and work on unresolved problems in daily living that may be interfering with their emotional well-being and contributing to depression and anxiety symptoms.

Behavioral Health Intervention for Developmental Disabilities
Chicago, Illinois
Many youth with disabilities and their families receive "care coordination services" from a state Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) agency. MCHB care coordination services help youth with disabilities get the medical care and social services they need to be healthy. Complex HEalth Care for Kids (CHECK) developed a program to combine mental health treatment and care coordination services for youth with disabilities. The goal of this study is to see whether a care coordination program that treats depression and anxiety (MCHB care coordination + CHECK) is better than a care coordination program (MCHB care coordination alone) that refers youth to mental health services in terms of making youth feel healthier, happier, and able to handle future challenges. The project team will test which care coordination approach is better at making youth with disabilities: (Aim 1) less anxious and depressed; (Aim 2) feel healthier, function better, and practice healthy habits; (Aim 3) improve their ability to manage their health. This study will also evaluate which approach makes (Aim 4) youth, caregivers, and providers feel more satisfied with their care coordination experience. This study will give youth with disabilities and their families information about what kinds of care coordination models are available, and better suited to their needs. The study team will reach out to 780 youth with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, age 13-20 years old, who receive care coordination services from the state of Illinois MCHB. If these youth are eligible and agree to be in the study, they will be placed, by chance, into either MCHB care coordination alone or into the MCHB care coordination + CHECK program. In both groups, youth will have a care coordinator who helps them identify and make plans to meet their needs and provides referrals to services/resources. Youth in the MCHB care coordination + CHECK care coordination will get mental health treatment directly from CHECK staff if they report symptoms of depression or anxiety. Treatment may include an online program or group meetings that teach youth how to cope with negative thoughts and feelings. Youth in each group will be followed for 24 months and will receive gift cards for participating. Youth will be asked questions about anxiety and depression, health, functioning, ability to manage their health care, self-efficacy, and their experience with care coordination.

Pain Management Interventions for Postpartum Pain
Chicago, Illinois
Obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS) encompass both third and fourth degree perineal tears. These tears can have a significant impact on women's quality of life in the short and long term. One of the most distressing immediate complications of this severe perineal injury is perineal pain. Women can also experience postpartum depression, dyspareunia, and altered sexual function after OASIS.
This is a randomized controlled trial to study the effects of three interventions (placebo, low dose intravenous ketamine plus epidural morphine, or epidural morphine alone) on acute pain after OASIS.
The objective of this study is to assess the incidence of perineal pain in postpartum patients 1 week after obstetric anal sphincter injuries.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Depression clinical trials in Chicago, IL pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.How do Depression clinical trials in Chicago, IL work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Depression trials in Chicago, IL 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length in Chicago, IL for Depression is 12 months.How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility in Chicago, IL several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.Do I need to be insured to participate in a Depression medical study in Chicago, IL ?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.What are the newest Depression clinical trials in Chicago, IL ?
Most recently, we added Sertraline + Guanfacine for Depression, Nitrous Oxide for Acute Suicidality and Morphine or Ketamine for Pain to the Power online platform.Popular Searches
