Depression and Pain

Anesthesiology October 1, 2011 Edgar Alfonso Romero-Sandoval 21 citations

Dartmouth Medical School, Dartmouth College, Lebanon, New Hampshire. edgar.a.romero-sandoval@dartmouth.eduA LARGE population of patients concomitantly experiences chronic pain and depression or symptoms of depression (52% in pain clinics, or 85% in chronic facial pain dental clinics, for example).1How these two syndromes coexist, interact, reinforce each other, and/or are maintained is poorly...

A Single Subanesthetic Dose of Ketamine Relieves Depression-like Behaviors Induced by Neuropathic Pain in Rats

Anesthesiology October 1, 2011 Jing Wang, Yossef Goffer, Duo Xu et al. 171 citations

BACKGROUND: Chronic pain is associated with depression. In rodents, pain is often assessed by sensory hypersensitivity, which does not sufficiently measure affective responses. Low-dose ketamine has been used to treat both pain and depression, but it is not clear whether ketamine can relieve depression associated with chronic pain and whether this antidepressant effect depends on its...

Depression, Conversion, Possession and Family Relations: A Socio-cultural Study

臺灣精神醫學 September 1, 2011 Chun‐Yi Lee, Jung-Kwang Wen

Objective: A socio-cultural model of depression in Confucianism-oriented societies has the basic assumption that its psychopathology is determined by the disturbance of a harmonious relationship with others. We present a case study in the context of the socio-cultural background to address the relevant issues regarding mental health. Case Report: A 46-year-old housewife patient with major...

Acute ketamine administration modulates glutamatergic neurotransmission and functional brain activation in prefrontal cortex implications for major depression

Pharmacopsychiatry September 1, 2011 Milan Scheidegger, Anke Henning, Martin Walter et al.

Background: Ketamine is a potent NMDA receptor antagonist with rapid antidepressant properties at subanaesthetic doses. This multimodal imaging study reveals the effects of a subanaesthetic ketamine infusion on fMRI-BOLD responses during an emotional processing task and their relationship to glutamatergic metabolite concentrations in the pregenual anterior cingulate cortex (PACC) assessed by...

Adapting Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Treatment-Resistant Depression: A Clinical Case Study

Cognitive and Behavioral Practice August 1, 2011 Stuart J. Eisendrath, M. Chartier, Maura Mclane

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is currently ranked the third leading cause of disability in the world. Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) causes the majority of MDD's disability. Strikingly, 50% of individuals with MDD will fail to remit with two adequate trials of antidepressant medications, thus qualifying as treatment resistant. Current pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatment...

Mindfulness training increases momentary positive emotions and reward experience in adults vulnerable to depression: A randomized controlled trial.

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology July 18, 2011 Nicole Geschwind, Frenk Peeters, Marjan Drukker et al. 440 citations

OBJECTIVE: To examine whether mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) increases momentary positive emotions and the ability to make use of natural rewards in daily life. METHOD: Adults with a life-time history of depression and current residual depressive symptoms (mean age = 43.9 years, SD = 9.6; 75% female; all Caucasian) were randomized to MBCT (n = 64) or waitlist control (CONTROL; n =...

Rumination as a predictor of relapse in mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for depression.

Psychology and Psychotherapy Theory Research and Practice June 2011 Johannes Michalak, Anne Hölz, Tobias Teismann

In mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), it is proposed that training in mindfulness should reduce the tendency of formerly depressed patients to enter into ruminative thinking, thus reducing their risk of depressive relapse. However, data showing that rumination is associated with depressive relapse are lacking. In an uncontrolled study with 24 formerly depressed patients, rumination was...

Rapid decrease in depressive symptoms with an N-methyl-d-aspartate antagonist in ECT-resistant major depression.

Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry June 1, 2011 Lobna Ibrahim, Nancy Diazgranados, David A. Luckenbaugh et al.

Ketamine rapidly improves depressive symptoms in patients with treatment-resistant major depressive disorder (MDD) who do not respond to multiple standard antidepressants. However, it remains unknown whether ketamine is equally effective in patients with MDD who previously also did not respond to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). This study compared 17 patients with treatment-resistant MDD who...
