Scientists scan brains to unlock suicide risk clues
NCT ID NCT03327129
Summary
This study aims to understand how the brain's pain and opioid systems might be linked to a person's capability for suicide. Researchers will use brain scans (fMRI) on 90 adults with major depression and suicidal thoughts, as well as healthy volunteers, while they perform a pain task. The goal is to identify brain patterns that could help identify individuals at highest risk for suicide and guide future interventions.
