NCT ID NCT07212946

Summary

This study tested whether four weekly doses of ayahuasca (a traditional plant brew) or esketamine (a modern antidepressant) could help people with severe depression. Researchers compared the two treatments in 22 carefully selected patients who had no other major health conditions. The goal was to see which approach better reduced depression symptoms using standard measurement tools.
