Sleep-Boosting anesthetic tested as new hope for stubborn depression
NCT ID NCT06867549
Summary
This study is testing whether a low-dose anesthetic drug (propofol), given as an IV infusion, can help treat depression in adults aged 60 and older. The idea is that the drug may boost deep, restorative sleep, which is often disrupted in depression. All 70 participants will also receive brief sleep therapy, and researchers will compare two different doses of propofol to see which is more effective at improving mood and thinking skills.
