Descriptive Information
Brief Title  ICMJE Whole-body Hyperthermia for Moderate to Severe Depressive Disorder
Official Title  ICMJE Whole-body Hyperthermia for Moderate to Severe Depressive Disorder - a Randomized Controlled Tiral
Brief Summary

The primary aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of whole-body hyperthermia in addition to standard medical care in comparison to standard medical care alone on depressive symptom severity in patients with moderate to severe depressive disorder.

Secondary aims included further quality of life outcomes, immunological parameters, and tolerability/safety of the hyperthermia.
Detailed Description Not Provided
Study Type  ICMJE Interventional
Study Phase  ICMJE Not Applicable
Study Design  ICMJE Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double (Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Condition  ICMJE Depression, Unipolar
Intervention  ICMJE
  • Combination Product: Whole-body hyperthermia + standard medical care
    Whole-body hyperthermia will be applied two times during 4 weeks (week 0 and 2 after randomization) in addition to standard medical care. The hyperthermia will be applied using Heckel-HT3000 MPIIb. During the 6 weeks of primary observation, the current medication should be maintained. The dose may be optimized with respect to clinical effectiveness and the reduction of side effects. The type of medication should not be changed during the 6 weeks. The use of additional somatic therapies such as sleep deprivation, light therapy, electroconvulsive therapy, or transcranial magnetic stimulation is not allowed.
  • Combination Product: Standard medical care
    Standard medical care included guideline-based anti-depressive drug treatment in combination with psychotherapy. During the 6 weeks of primary observation, the current medication should be maintained. The dose may be optimized with respect to clinical effectiveness and the reduction of side effects. The type of medication should not be changed during the 6 weeks. The use of additional somatic therapies such as sleep deprivation, light therapy, electroconvulsive therapy, or transcranial magnetic stimulation is not allowed.
Study Arms  ICMJE
  • Experimental: Whole-body hyperthermia + standard medical care
    Whole-body hyperthermia will be applied 2 times during 4 weeks in addition to guideline-based standard medical care for depression (anti-depressive drug treatment in combination with psychotherapy). At week 6, the primary outcome will be assessed. The participants will be reassessed 12 weeks after the start of the treatment with whole-body hyperthermia.
    Intervention: Combination Product: Whole-body hyperthermia + standard medical care
  • Active Comparator: Standard medical care
    Participants will maintain standard medical care for depression (anti-depressive drug treatment in combination with psychotherapy). At week 6, the primary outcome will be assessed. The participants will be reassessed 12 weeks after randomization.
    Intervention: Combination Product: Standard medical care
