valproic acid and Depression

valproic acid has been researched along with Depression in 71 studies

Valproic Acid: A fatty acid with anticonvulsant and anti-manic properties that is used in the treatment of EPILEPSY and BIPOLAR DISORDER. The mechanisms of its therapeutic actions are not well understood. It may act by increasing GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID levels in the brain or by altering the properties of VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNELS.
valproic acid : A branched-chain saturated fatty acid that comprises of a propyl substituent on a pentanoic acid stem.

Depression: Depressive states usually of moderate intensity in contrast with MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER present in neurotic and psychotic disorders.

Trial Outcomes

MADRS Score - Baseline

Antidepressant effects were assessed using the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). It is a ten-item diagnostic questionnaire which psychiatrists use to measure the severity of depressive episodes. Higher MADRS score indicates more severe depression, and each item yields a score of 0 to 6. The overall score ranges from 0 to 60. (NCT00088699)
Timeframe: Baseline

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)
Ketamine - Healthy Volunteers1.17
Placebo - Healthy Volunteers1.48
Ketamine - MDD Patients33.83
Placebo - MDD Patients31.82

MADRS Score - Day 1 Following Intervention

Antidepressant effects were assessed using the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). It is a ten-item diagnostic questionnaire which psychiatrists use to measure the severity of depressive episodes. Higher MADRS score indicates more severe depression, and each item yields a score of 0 to 6. The overall score ranges from 0 to 60. (NCT00088699)

Clinical Global Impressions-Bipolar Mania Improvement

The Clinical Global Impressions-Bipolar (CGI-BP) assessment instrument measured improvement in mania, depression, and overall bipolar illness. The primary outcome measure was mania improvement, which measured the change in mania from baseline. Scores were 1=very much improved, 2=much improved, 3=minimally improved, 4=no change, 5=minimally worse, 6=much worse, 7=very much worse. (NCT00057681)
Timeframe: Measured at Week 8

Randomized Medication - Lithium2.49
Randomized Medication - Divalproex Sodium2.73
Randomized Medication - Risperidone1.70

K-SADS Mania Rating Scale

The K-SADS Mania Rating Scale (KMRS) is comprised of 15 items modified from WASH-U-KSADS items. The individual items are scored on a 1-6 severity scale and then these item scores are summed to create an overall KMRS score. Guidelines for interpretation are as follows: 0-11 = no or minimal mania, 12-17 = mild mania, 18-25 = moderate mania, 26+ = marked or worse mania. The maximum possible score is 64. (NCT00057681)
Timeframe: Measured at Week 8

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)
Randomized Medication - Lithium24.06
Randomized Medication - Divalproex Sodium26.31
Randomized Medication - Risperidone14.58

Modified Side Effects Form for Children and Adolescents

The Modified Side Effects Form for Children and Adolescents includes 62 potential side effects, with measures of frequency and severity for each item. Frequencies are 0=not present, 1=1-2 days, 2=3-4 days, 3=5-7 days. Severity scores are 0=not present, 1=mild (does not interfere with functioning), 2=moderate (some interference with functioning), 3=severe (functioning is significantly impaired because of side effects). Items for cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, central nervous system, ocular, mouth and nose, genito urinary, dermatology, musculo-skeletal, and other side effects are included. For analyses, side effects that were reported at any frequency and a severity of 2 or greater were considered present. (NCT00057681)
