Could a Parkinson's drug help bring back pleasure in depression?
NCT ID NCT05825235
First seen Apr 29, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether adding pramipexole (a drug usually used for Parkinson's) can safely reduce anhedonia—the loss of interest or pleasure—in people with depression over the long term. 55 adults who had already been in a shorter trial took the drug as an add-on to their usual treatment. Researchers tracked changes in anhedonia and depression symptoms using standard questionnaires.
