New hope for teens with severe depression: testing a powerful treatment combo

NCT ID NCT07247968

Summary

This study is testing if adding a low dose of the medication esketamine to standard electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is more effective for treating severe depression in teenagers. Researchers will compare two groups of 110 adolescents each: one receiving esketamine with ECT and one receiving a placebo with ECT. The main goal is to see if the esketamine group has a higher response rate, meaning their depression symptoms are cut in half.
