An observational study in Depression and Vestibular Disorder, sponsored by Vest Brain,Centro de Estudios Neurovestibulares. Completed. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-02-06.
Sponsored by Vest Brain,Centro de Estudios Neurovestibulares · Observational
This study evaluates the vestibular activity in major depression patients and healthy controls using the rotatory test and electronystagmography.
Previous studies showed abnormal vestibular activity in major depression patients using caloric vestibular tests. The present study investigates the vestibular response to vestibular rotatory tests in major depression subjects and healthy controls.
8,582 studies on the registry are indexed under Depression; 1,723 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 41 is below the median of 175 across 1,259 observational studies indexed under Depression.

Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Depression Group patients were selected by psychiatrists from the ambulatory Mental Health consult of the Hospital; the Control Group included 20 healthy volunteers, composed by desk workers from the center.

The American Psychiatric Association’s manual of mental health diagnoses. DSM-5 (2013, revised as DSM-5-TR in 2022) replaced DSM-IV, and some studies still name the older edition. “Meets DSM criteria for …” means diagnosed by that edition’s diagnostic criteria, usually by a clinician in an interview.

We will measure the vestibular activity of Major depression patients with Rotatory Test and electronystagmography
Diagnostic Test: Rotatory vestibular test
We will measure the vestibular activity of Healthy subjects with Rotatory Test and electronystagmography.
Diagnostic Test: Rotatory vestibular test
We will measure Depression and Healthy subjects vestibular activity by Rotatory Vestibular tests
Vestibular Activity
The primary outcome corresponds to the vestibular activity. The vestibular stimulation provided by the rotatory chair is sensed by the inner ear´s vestibular receptors and generates reflex ocular movements(Vestibulo Ocular Reflex) registrated by electronystagmography. The main outcome corresponds to the asymmetry of the vestibular activity between both ears.
Time frame: Vestibular rotatory test for each participant is about 50- 60 minutes. One rotatory test per participant.
No study locations are listed for this record.
Plan to share: Yes — We plan to share all collected vestibular data of IPD after 6 months of publication.
Supporting information: Analytic code
Time frame: Data will be available after 6 months of publication undefined.

Ran from Jul 2005 to primary completion in Dec 2006, 17 months.
Of 460 non-industry observational studies under Depression, half reached primary completion within 34 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 14 and three quarters within 63. This study's 17 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 493 studies reached it within 32 months; a quarter within 13 and three quarters within 62.
