Anesthesia drug tested to stop Post-Surgery depression
NCT ID NCT05233566
Summary
This study tested whether a low-dose ketamine infusion given right after brain surgery could prevent depressive symptoms from returning in patients with a history of depression. It was a small, early-stage trial to see if a larger study was possible. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either ketamine or a saline placebo, and researchers measured their mood and sleep patterns afterward.
