TCM Daoyin for Anxiety/Depression: Psychological Effects and Biological Mechanisms

This study is exploring medication or study treatment for people with depression. Participants may complete study visits, assessments, or follow-up activities defined by the research team. Direct benefit is not guaranteed. The detailed objective is not always clearly listed in the public registry; the study team can confirm.

This appears to be a interview / survey / observational study. Phase is mainly useful to check for medication studies and some device studies.

This study may concern people with depression; age range: From 18 Years to 65 Years. The criteria appear fairly specific, but you should not assume you are eligible. The study team must confirm diagnosis, age, exclusions, available locations, and next steps.

You may need to answer questionnaires or take part in interviews. The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask whether some steps can be done remotely.

If the study involves interviews or questionnaires, some questions may feel personal or emotionally sensitive. Ask whether you can skip questions, pause, stop, and how your answers will be protected. For any mental health study, also ask who to contact if you feel worse, whether participation may affect current treatment, whether you can stop, and who confirms eligibility.

The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask which sites are open, how many visits are expected, whether any steps can be done remotely, and whether travel costs or compensation are listed.

This study is sponsored by Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which appears to be a university. If available, it can be useful to check the sponsor website, collaborators, investigator affiliation, and the official registry before deciding. HopeStage does not judge the quality of a sponsor or researcher, but helps you identify what to verify.

The registry indicates that this study is currently recruiting. This does not mean you are eligible: the study team must confirm the criteria, available locations, and next steps.
