NCT ID NCT06805851
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how adults with depression respond to heat stress compared to those without depression. Researchers will measure skin blood flow, sweating, and core temperature during passive heating. The goal is to understand if depression or antidepressant medications like SSRIs and SNRIs change how the body cools itself.
