Real-World study tracks Trazodone's effect on depression and memory in seniors
NCT ID NCT07377682
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is observing how the medication trazodone helps older adults (55+) who have both major depression and mild memory or thinking problems. Researchers will track changes in depression symptoms and thinking skills during routine care in Italy, Poland, and Romania. The goal is to understand how well trazodone works in everyday medical practice, not to test a new drug.
