Clinical Studies
OSU Harding Hospital and the OSU Department of Psychiatry are committed to finding new treatments to decrease morbidity and mortality and improve the quality of life of patients with mental and behavioral disorders.
The clinical trials program at OSU Harding Hospital and the OSU Department of Psychiatry is one way to determine whether new treatments are safe and effective. The trials encompass agents that are in various phases of development across numerous diagnostic categories. Our goal is to ultimately establish new therapies to minimize the distress experienced by patients with an array of mental disorders.
Below is a list of ongoing and currently-enrolling clinical trials being conducted at OSU Harding Hospital and the OSU Department of Psychiatry as a part of a larger research program that includes pharmacology, genetics and imaging. These clinical trials, in adults and children, encompass diagnostic categories such as Bipolar Disorders, Depressive Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, and Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorders (ADHD).
