简要总结

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the potential of a customized digital cognitive training intervention to target aspects of brain function in apathy of late-life depression and reduce symptoms of apathy and related cognitive and behavioral deficits. The investigators hypothesize that 4 weeks of a customized digital cognitive training program will lead to changes in brain connectivity, apathy severity, and cognitive control performance.

入选标准

  • •Age 60+ years
  • •Diagnosis of unipolar major depressive disorder without psychotic features, as assessed by the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview
  • •Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) score > or =
  • •Clinically significant apathy, determined by the Clinician-rated Apathy Evaluation Scale (C-AES > or = to 37)
  • •Off antidepressants or on a stable dose of an antidepressant for 8 weeks and do not intend to change the dose in the next 5 weeks.
  • •On a stable dose of other psychotropic medications, deemed by the investigator to be associated with brain networks of interest, for at least 8 weeks.
  • •Capacity to provide written consent for research assessment and treatment
  • •Ability to follow written and verbal instructions (English) as assessed by the PI and/or study staff.
  • •Total score of > 29 on the Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status (TICS)
  • •Eligible to undergo MRI
  • •Access to a computer or tablet with Wifi capabilities
  • •Able to comply with all testing and study requirements and willingness to participate in the full study duration.

排除标准

  • •History or presence of psychiatric diagnoses other than major depressive disorder without psychotic features, persistent depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, or specific phobia
  • •Use of cholinesterase inhibitors or psychoactive drugs other than antidepressants or benzodiazepines, including antipsychotics, that in the opinion of the Investigator may confound study data/assessments.
  • •Presence or history of significant neurologic or neurodegenerative disorder (e.g., Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment, history of stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy).
  • •Any other acute medical condition (e.g., cardiac, renal, or respiratory failure; severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; metastatic cancer; or debilitated states or less common medical illnesses) that may influence brain systems of interest or interfere with participation or interpretation of the study results.
  • •Participant is currently considered at risk for attempting suicide by the Investigator, has made a suicide attempt within the past year, or is currently demonstrating active suicidal ideation or self-injurious behavior.
  • •Electroconvulsive therapy within the past 12 months
  • •Recent history (within 6 months prior to screening/baseline) of Substance Use Disorder.
  • •Participant is currently enrolled in ongoing concurrent cognitive rehabilitation (note that if a subject is enrolled in psychotherapy, this will not be grounds for exclusion)
  • •Claustrophobia
  • •Color Blindness
  • •Sensory or physical impairment that would preclude cognitive testing or participation in the intervention (e.g., upper limb paralysis) as reported by the participant or observed by the Investigator.
  • •Travelling consecutively for 2+ weeks during the study period to a location that will preclude timely collection of post-treatment MRI data.
  • •Contraindications to MRI scanning including cardiac pacemaker, heart valve replacement, vascular stent, cochlear implant, any other metallic biomedical implant contraindicating to MRI.
