Laughing gas tested as emergency treatment for suicidal crisis

NCT ID NCT05710887

Summary

This study aimed to test if a single 45-minute dose of inhaled nitrous oxide (laughing gas) could quickly reduce severe suicidal thoughts and depression in people arriving at the emergency room. It planned to compare the gas to a placebo, given alongside standard emergency care, to see if it was safe and helpful for people in acute crisis. The trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled.
