Keto supplement for depression with inflammation
Part of Brain & nervous system, 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 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 study tests whether following a Mediterranean-style diet, which is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats, can help reduce depressive symptoms. The trial also looks at how the diet affects the bacteria in your gut and whether that relates to mood improvement.
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 high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet) can improve symptoms of depression. It is a dietary intervention that may help your mood, but it requires commitment to following the diet and avoiding alcohol and other substances during the study.
This study tests whether a ketogenic diet (a low-carb, high-fat eating plan) combined with a type of brain stimulation called rTMS can help people whose depression hasn't improved with standard treatments. You'd be randomly assigned to follow either the ketogenic diet or a standard healthy diet for 12 weeks.
