Laughing gas brain scans could unlock depression secrets
NCT ID NCT04199143
Summary
This study aimed to understand how nitrous oxide (laughing gas) might help people with depression that hasn't responded to other treatments. Researchers used ultrasound and MRI brain scans on 30 women (20 with depression and 10 healthy volunteers) before, during, and after a one-hour session of breathing a nitrous oxide mixture. The goal was to see how the brain reacts to the gas and find clues that might predict who could benefit from it.
