Pilot Randomised Controlled Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Tolerability of Virtual Reality-Based Mindfulness as an Adjunct to Treatment as Usual for treatment-resistant depression

This study is exploring behavioral or lifestyle intervention 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 medication / drug study. The phase is not clearly listed in the public registry. Phase is mostly relevant for medication studies and some device studies. For this study, it may be more useful to look at what is required, the duration, visits, and eligibility criteria.

This study may concern people with depression; age range: From 18 Years to 74 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 take a study treatment and have regular medical follow-up. 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 a medication, ask whether it is already approved, experimental, or being tested for a new use. Check possible side effects, interactions with current treatment, dose changes, monitoring, and what happens if you feel worse. 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 Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron Research Institute, which appears to be a hospital or academic medical center. 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.
