Clinical Treatment Trials |
The research studies listed below are currently recruiting volunteers to participate.
For each study there is a brief description and contact information.
Antipsychotics and Genetics Study
(Physiogenomic Analysis of Antipsychotic Therapies and their Metabolic Side Effects)
The Burlingame Center for Psychiatric Research and Education, in collaboration with Genomas, Inc., is conducting a study sponsored by the National Institute of Health to develop a product that will enable doctors to more effectively treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and other mental health disorders. The product under development aims to help patients avoid an antipsychotic medication's potential side effects, like cardiovascular disease symptoms and obesity, by guiding drug selection for each patient according to his/her DNA.
If you are interested in participating or have questions about this study, please call Dr. Stephen Woolley at (860) 545-7329 or Marcia Gerulaitis at (860) 545-7118.

Compulsive Hoarding
The Anxiety Disorders Center is conducting several studies on compulsive hoarding. One of the studies, in collaboration with Smith College and Boston University, examines how the problem with clutter started, the relationship between hoarding and other kinds of emotional problems, and your thoughts, emotions and beliefs in relation to clutter, saving, and acquiring. This study involves coming into the clinic for an interview as well as completing a number of questionnaires. It also involves a home visit by a clinician. People may participate in this study if they live within a 40 minute drive of Hartford, CT.
The Olin Neuropsychiatry Research Center is at the forefront of research in applying quantitative measures of brain structure and function to neuropsychiatric themes, especially to severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia. Techniques include structural and functional MRI. In addition, electrophysiologic measures, including event-related potential assessments, are an important feature of our research.

The Anxiety Disorders Center at The Institute of Living/Hartford Hospital is conducting research on new ways to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder. Participants in the ongoing studies will receive free cognitive-behavioral therapy, one of the most effective treatments for obsessive-compulsive disorder.
The Anxiety Disorders Center is conducting state-of-the-art studies to examine the effectiveness of a virtual reality program for Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) veterans with post-deployment stress. Studies are available for all male OIF/OEF veterans with or without post-deployment stress.
