VR headsets could boost power of Fast-Acting depression drug

NCT ID NCT06781697

Summary

This small pilot study aims to see if combining a fast-acting depression medication (ketamine) with immersive virtual reality (VR) is a better treatment than ketamine alone for adults with depression that hasn't responded to other medications. All 31 participants will receive standard ketamine infusions, but half will also use a VR headset during treatment. The main goal is to test if running a larger future trial is feasible, while also checking if the combination improves depression symptoms more effectively.
