Laughing gas tested as emergency treatment for suicidal thoughts
NCT ID NCT03736538
Summary
This study is testing whether inhaling nitrous oxide (laughing gas) can quickly reduce suicidal thoughts in hospitalized patients with severe depression. Fifty patients will receive either the gas or a placebo during up to six sessions while continuing their standard depression treatment. The main goals are to check if the treatment is safe and whether it reduces suicidal thinking more than standard care alone.
