5 studies recruit in and from this area

IMPORTANT INFOMATION

NON INVASIVE RESEARCH ( Where No Medications or invasive procedures are involved, ie. needles ) there is no need for medical checks.

As a general rule of thumb you will learn about the reimbursements for your time and incovenience at the point of contact with the clinic or at the point of NOTES FOR VOLUNTEERS which BioTrax will continue to upload on certain studies but only where complicated explanations may not be required unless ethics allow in certain circumstances the printing of the financial rewards in relation to geographical conditions, circumstances etc

WHEN APPLYING FOR REAL TIME STUDIES, APPLY FIRST AND CONTACT SECOND.

The Hotline Number will be shown after application in most cases, or where clinics have their own volunteer sites, a link may be provided and all details will be supplied.

PLEASE READ ALL STUDIES CAREFULLY BEFORE APPLICATION TO MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND EVERYBODY ELSES

Study 1358 :Have You Ever Experienced a Traumatic or Life-Threatening Event ? New York
Type of Study	Keywords: ptsd trials, ptsd medical trials, ptsd medical research, ptsd clinical research, ptsd clinical trials, ptsd drug research, ptsd paid research, ptsd clinical studies. ptsd testing, ptsd treatment, ptsd symptoms, post traumatic stress disorder research, post traumatic stress disorder medical studies, post traumatic stress disorder clinical trials, anxiety disorders, mood and anxiety disorders, military combat victims, mugging victims, rape victims, violence victims, child abuse victims, serious car accident victims, natural disaster victims, flashbacks, depression. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have You Ever Experienced a Traumatic or Life-Threatening Event? SINCE THE TRAUMA, have you: · Had nightmares or flashbacks? · Tried to avoid thinking or talking about it? · Felt jumpy or anxious? · Become less connected with people around you, or less interested in activities you used to enjoy? If so, you may be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD. The Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine is conducting a study of an investigational medication that may help relieve your PTSD symptoms. You may be eligible to participate if you have PTSD and are 21-55 years old.
Inclusion Criteria	• Have experienced a traumatic or life threatening event • Be 21-55 years of age • Be experiencing anxiety as a result of the traumatic event • Be willing to taper off any psychiatric medications if currently being taken
Exclusion Criteria	Not be pregnant or nursing • Not have an unstable medical condition or illness • Not be currently taking drugs or abusing alcohol

Duration	Participation involves a thorough psychiatric and medical screening, and, if eligible, requires two separate overnight stays at the Mount Sinai Hospital each followed by multiple follow-up visits in our clinic.
Reimbursement	Procedure Reimbursement Screening visit 1 (interview) $25 Screening visit 2 (medical clearance) $25 First infusion day (includes overnight stay) $150 Five follow-up visits $75 Second infusion day (includes overnight stay) $150 Five follow-up visits $75 Four fMRI scans --- OPTIONAL $200 Total for participation in all parts of the study $700
Other Info	This is a research study of an investigational medication for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. We are looking for participants who have unfortunately been through a traumatic or life-threatening experience and are by affected by it. The investigational medication we are testing is Ketamine, which is approved by the Food and Drug Administration as an anesthetic, but is not approved for the treatment of PTSD. The study involves two separate overnight stays at the Mount Sinai Hospital each followed by 5 follow-up visits in our clinic. In this study we will compare the effects of Ketamine to an anesthetic called midazolam. This comparison is necessary because we’re trying to see if Ketamine is really effective for treating PTSD or if a person feels better simply because they are receiving treatment. Midazolam is a drug that has similar anesthetic effects but has not been shown to treat PTSD or major depressive disorder symptoms. Like Ketamine, Midazolam is not approved for the treatment of PTSD but is approved by the FDA as an anesthetic. As part of the study, there are two overnight visits when you will be given either Ketamine or Midazolam. You will be randomly assigned to one of the drugs for the first overnight stay and will be given the other drug for the second overnight stay. You won’t be told which medication you have received and the research team won’t know either.

PET (Positron Emission Tomography) is a non-invasive diagnostic scanning technique that provides researchers and clinicians with visual images of organ function. PET scans can detect biochemical changes in body tissues before structural damage occurs from disease. This information allows clinicians to be proactive in their treatments and enables researchers to detect early biomarkers of disease that can aid diagnosis and advance drug development. (source:http://petcenter.yale.edu) We are currently utilizing PET to study the serotonin, norepinephrine, and cannabinoid neurotransmitter systems in the following study populations: Healthy Controls: male or female subjects between 18-55 years of age, without a history of any type of neurological illness or injury or any current or prior mental health or substance use disorder. PTSD: male or female subjects, ages 18-55, who are suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Individuals who have had reactions to major traumatic life events are also encouraged to participate. Depression: male or female subjects, ages 18-55, who are suffering from depression. Alcohol Dependence: male or female subjects between 18-50 years of age, suffering from alcohol dependence or in partial remission. Subjects may participate in an inpatient or outpatient setting, but must be abstinent from alcohol for 4-6 weeks prior to MR and PET scanning.
Aim of Study	Aim of the studies: to examine the association between disorders such as PTSD, depression, and alcohol dependence, and brain function using MRI and PET. Location of the Study: Yale University, New Haven, CT and VA Medical Center, West Haven, CT
Inclusion Criteria	We are looking for male or female subjects, ages 18-55, who are healthy or suffering from depression, PTSD, or alcohol dependence. In addition, participants must have a willingness to participate in imaging studies including 1 PET scan and 1 MRI scan.
