Sensoril® (Ashwagandha) - A Standardized Extract From a Medicinal Plant - (Withania Somnifera) for Cognitive Enhancement in Persons With Bipolar Disorder: A Parallel Group, Randomized Double Blind, and Placebo Controlled Study
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Sensoril and Placebo for Bipolar I Disorder and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The investigators hypothesis is that oral Sensoril® (as compared to placebo) will enhance cognitive abilities (specifically measures of attention, executive function, working memory, and visuospatial ability) in persons with bipolar disorder. Secondarily, the investigators hypothesize there will be secondary improvements in residual mood/anxiety symptoms, and metabolic indices, if impaired (fasting blood glucose and lipids). The investigators aim to test these hypotheses by conducting a randomized, placebo controlled, add on treatment trial of Sensoril® (added to existing mood stabilizer treatment) recruiting 60 subjects with DSM IV-TR bipolar disorder for a period of 8 weeks. Measures of cognition, psychopathology and laboratory indices will be utilized for evaluating primary and secondary outcomes, along with safety assessments.
