Area of Science:

  • Integrative Medicine
  • Mental Health Research
  • Clinical Trials

Background:

  • Adolescent Depression Disorder (ADD) is a growing global health concern with significant disability.
  • Acupuncture shows promise for depression but its efficacy in ADD requires investigation.
  • This pilot trial aims to assess acupuncture's potential for treating ADD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To preliminarily explore the efficacy and safety of acupuncture for Adolescent Depression Disorder (ADD).
  • To evaluate the feasibility of conducting larger clinical trials on acupuncture for ADD.
  • To provide a basis for future clinical interventions and scientific research in ADD treatment.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot randomized controlled trial involving 60 participants with ADD.
  • Treatment duration of 8 weeks with acupuncture or sham acupuncture, followed by 4 weeks of follow-up.
  • Primary outcome: change in Children's Depression Rating Scale-revised (CDRS-R) scores; secondary outcomes include HAMD-17, HAMD-14, PSQI, and C-SSRS scores.

Main Results:

  • Data on the efficacy and safety of acupuncture for ADD will be collected.
  • Feasibility of acupuncture treatment for ADD will be assessed.
  • The study will provide preliminary data for future research.

Conclusions:

  • This pilot study will offer insights into acupuncture's role in managing Adolescent Depression Disorder.
  • Findings will guide the design of future large-scale randomized controlled trials.
  • The research aims to establish a foundation for evidence-based acupuncture interventions for ADD.
