methylphenidate has been researched along with Depression, Involutional in 44 studies

Methylphenidate: A central nervous system stimulant used most commonly in the treatment of ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER in children and for NARCOLEPSY. Its mechanisms appear to be similar to those of DEXTROAMPHETAMINE. The d-isomer of this drug is referred to as DEXMETHYLPHENIDATE HYDROCHLORIDE.
methylphenidate : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of the two threo isomers of methyl phenyl(piperidin-2-yl)acetate. A central stimulant and indirect-acting sympathomimetic, is used (generally as the hydrochloride salt) in the treatment of hyperactivity disorders in children and for the treatment of narcolepsy.
methyl phenyl(piperidin-2-yl)acetate : A amino acid ester that is methyl phenylacetate in which one of the hydrogens alpha to the carbonyl group is replaced by a piperidin-2-yl group.

Depression, Involutional: Form of depression in those MIDDLE AGE with feelings of ANXIETY.

Trial Outcomes

Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) Maintained Scores at Week 16

The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) is a 24-item depression scale and the total score is summed with a minimum score=0 and maximum score=76. There are no subscales and the higher values represent a worse outcome. Outcomes are measured and defined as follows: 1) Response will be defined as HDRS scores of 10 or less; 2) Sustained response will be defined as maintained response at week 16; 4) Remission will be defined as HDRS scores of 6 or less. (NCT00602290)
Timeframe: Maintained response measured at Week 16

Quality of Life Assessment

The Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire - Short Form (Q-LES-Q-SF) is a 16 item self-administered questionnaire that captures life satisfaction over the past week. Each question is rated on a 5 point scale from 1 (Very Poor) to 5 (Very Good). The total score is reported for items 1-14. The minimum raw score on the Q-LES-Q-SF is 14, and the maximum score is 70 with higher values representing a better outcome. (NCT00602290)
