Parkinson's drug tested as potential boost for 'Emotional Numbness' in depression

NCT ID NCT04121091

Summary

This small, early-stage study tested whether adding the drug pramipexole could help people with depression who specifically struggle with anhedonia—the inability to feel pleasure or motivation. The drug, typically used for Parkinson's disease, was given alongside participants' existing antidepressant medication. Researchers also used brain scans and blood tests to understand how the treatment might work.
