Brain scan could end guesswork for PTSD meds

NCT ID NCT04183205

Summary

This study tested whether a simple brainwave test could predict which veterans with PTSD or depression would respond well to common antidepressant medications (SSRIs). Researchers measured participants' brain responses to sounds before starting medication, then tracked their symptoms over 17 weeks of treatment. The goal was to create a tool to help doctors choose the right medication faster, instead of using trial and error.
