First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study looks at whether certain brain wave patterns (gamma oscillations) can predict how well ketamine works for people with treatment-resistant depression. Researchers will measure brain activity with EEG before and after ketamine treatment and track depression symptoms over 4 weeks. The goal is to find a simple brain test that tells doctors which patients are most likely to benefit from ketamine therapy.
