Keto supplement for depression with inflammation
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a keto-like supplement to see if it helps change how the brain responds to emotional situations in people with depression and higher inflammation. It involves MRI brain scans and blood tests.

This Phase 1 study uses a PET brain scan to look at inflammation-related activity (cyclooxygenase) in people with major depressive disorder (MDD). It may help researchers better understand how depression is connected to inflammation in the brain.
This trial tests if a Mediterranean diet can help improve depression in people with major depressive disorder. It also looks at how the diet affects your gut bacteria.
This study tests if adding computer-based cognitive training to ketamine treatment can improve mood in people with depression that hasn't responded to other treatments. It aims to see if the combination works better than ketamine alone.
This trial studies whether following a Mediterranean-style eating plan can change the gut and brain “communication” to help people with major depression. It looks at possible links between gut bacteria and mood.
This early-stage study tests how your brain responds to an “inflammatory challenge” in people with major depressive disorder and in healthy volunteers. It may help researchers understand the immune-to-brain link in depression and guide future treatments.
This study tests whether a ketogenic diet (a very low-carb, high-fat eating plan) can help improve symptoms of depression in people with major depression or bipolar depression. Participants will get support to follow the diet and be monitored closely.
