"Machine Learning Analysis of Lingual Colorimetry and MADRS Anxiety-Depression Score in Acupuncture Patients"

Machine Learning Analysis of Lingual Colorimetry and MADRS Score in Acupuncture Patients: a Prospective Observational Study

Sponsor

Dr Benoit Bataille

Enrollment

350 participants

Start Date

Jun 27, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Anxiety Disorders

Summary

This observational study aims to assess the potential relationship between tongue colorimetry (using standardized photographic techniques) and anxiety-depression scores measured by the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) in acupuncture patients. Data will be analyzed using machine learning methods to determine whether tongue color features correlate with MADRS scores, possibly contributing to a novel, non-invasive diagnostic tool for anxiety and depression assessment in clinical practice. Participation involves only tongue photography and completion of questionnaires, without any invasive procedures or treatment modifications.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years
