Depression Study
Mit der klinischen Studie zur Depression wird ein zu prüfendes Medikament bewertet/untersucht, das gemeinsam mit Ihrem derzeitigen Antidepressivum (SSRI) eingenommen wird, um herauszufinden, ob es die andauernden Symptome der Depression lindert. Alle Teilnehmer an der Studie erhalten kostenlos die zu prüfenden Studienmedikamente, das zur Zeit vorgeschriebene Antidepressivum und eine studienbezogene Betreuung. Wenn Sie mindestens 18 Jahre alt sind, bei Ihnen eine Depression (MDD) diagnostiziert wurde und Sie ein verschreibungspflichtiges Antidepressivum einnehmen, kommen Sie für die Studie in Frage.
Bei Interesse würden wir uns freuen, Sie in unserem Institut begrüßen zu dürfen!

Brain-Live: Memory Without Holes
Brain-Live: Memory Without Holes
Dementia is a growing problem for our population, not just medically, but socially and economically. In order for therapy to be effective, early detection and definition of patient's condition is of paramount importance. According to the latest research, no drug can reverse damage to brain matter, and so early detection of pathological brain aging is essential. Early treatment and therapy is also the most useful and meaningful basis for medical research.
This background and rational is what our study is based on.
We are looking for women and men aged over 50 that have the feeling that they are becoming forgetful in more and more areas of their lives. After a detailed medical inclusion investigation, psychological testing will be carried out in six-month intervals over a period of two years of time. During this time we will administer you with a dietary supplement of black sesame seeds, saffron or a placebo.
Participation in the study is completely voluntary and can be terminated at any time, for any reason, without notice. Personal data will be kept safe and never given to a third party.

Schizophrenia Study
Examination and Treatment Program for Schizophrenic Patients
Our institute is taking part in an international research project concerning the treatment of schizophrenic patients. The clinical research is being conducted to discover whether the dosage form of Seroquel XR (slow release of the active ingredient) taken once a day has different effect on the perception of the patient than the dosage of Seroquel IR (immediate release of the active ingredient) taken twice a day.
Participation
We are looking for men and women aged between 18 and 50 years with diagnosed schizophrenia, who are already being treated with an unchanging doses of Seroquel and would like to participate in a clinical study.
Your Advantages
At the beginning of the study, you will receive a thorough medical examination. Throughout the study, you will be examined regularly and cared for medically and psychologically. You will have regular out patient appointments and will therefore receive more medical and therapy hours than you would with standard care. During the study, all of your medication will be free, and you will be reimbursed for your travel expenses to out patient appointments. For giving us your time, you will also be given food coupons.

Burnout Study
Burnout ist heute häufig - warten Sie nicht, bis es zu spät ist!
Menschen, die unter großem emotionalen Druck stehen, die ernstlich gekränkt werden - Ärzte, Schwestern, Hausfrauen, Lehrer - trifft es besonders oft. Engagierte Konzern-Manager und viele Mitarbeiter, die von Fusionen betroffen sind, bleiben leicht auf der Strecke, werden vom Burnout überrollt, bremsen sich letztlich selbst aus. Ihre Arbeitskraft geht sinnlos ins Leere.
Das muss nicht sein. Je früher der Betroffene sein Burnout erkennt, umso einfacher kann er seine Lebenskraft zurück gewinnen.
Zur frühzeitigen Behandlung bieten wir im Rahmen einer klinischen Prüfung eine Diagnostik und ein pflanzliches Präparat an, zur kostenlosen Teilnahme sollten Sie zwischen 30 und 60 Jahren alt und berufstätig sein.
Bei Interesse würden wir uns freuen, Sie in unserem Institut begrüßen zu dürfen!

Anxiety Study
What happens when your whole life is dominated by WORRIES?
Excessive ANXIETY is very unpleasant and can completely dominate a person's life-especially if anxiety is accompanied by physical symptoms such as muscle tension, forgetfulness, etc.
In order to treat anxiety, we are conducting a clinical trial to test the effects of a new drug on people with generalized anxiety disorder, who are 18 years of age or older.
If you interested, we would be very happy to meet with you to discuss further details!
If you participate, the study related medical treatments and drugs are free of charge and do not require any additional payments.
Your travel costs will also refunded.
