Can a pill at discharge shield seniors from Post-Fracture depression?
NCT ID NCT05851898
Summary
This study aims to see if starting a common antidepressant medication when older adults leave the hospital after a leg fracture can help prevent them from developing depression during their recovery. Researchers will enroll 100 patients aged 65+ and give them a low dose of duloxetine at discharge, then track their mood and medication use for a year. The main goal is to learn if this prevention strategy is practical and acceptable to patients and doctors.
