Could nicotine patches lift depression fog in seniors?
NCT ID NCT05746546
Summary
This study is testing whether nicotine patches can help improve mood and thinking problems in older adults with depression. It is an extension of a previous trial, allowing participants to continue using the patches for up to 12 more weeks to gather more information on safety and potential benefits. The goal is to see if stimulating certain brain receptors with nicotine can help control both depressive symptoms and cognitive difficulties common in late-life depression.
