Brain waves could reveal if depression meds will work

NCT ID NCT00792168

Summary

This study tested whether brain wave scans could predict if people with depression would respond to antidepressant medication. Researchers monitored 38 patients with major depression using EEG brain scans while they received either medication or placebo. The goal was to see if early brain wave changes could forecast treatment success before patients themselves felt better.
