Combining brain training with ketamine for depression
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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 early-stage study tests how ketamine given once and then repeatedly may change brain signals and related biomarkers in people with major depression. If you’re eligible, the team will use brain imaging and assessments to see who responds and why.
This early-stage study tests ketamine and looks at what brain changes may explain why it helps people with major depression that hasn’t improved with usual treatments. You may be asked to stay in the hospital and complete detailed interviews, mood rating scales, and brain imaging.
This trial tests whether adding ketamine to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) works better than ECT alone for people with depression that hasn't improved with at least two different antidepressants. It may offer a new option for those who have not found relief from standard treatments.
This early-stage study looks at how parts of brain cells respond to ketamine in people with depression who have not improved with usual antidepressants. It may help researchers find why ketamine works for some people and not others, and who might benefit.
This trial tests whether a single dose of ketamine can quickly improve depression by studying brain chemical changes using MRI. It's for people with treatment-resistant depression who haven't used ketamine before.
This study compares ketamine alone to ketamine combined with psychotherapy for treating depression. It may help if you have moderate to severe depression and want to see if adding talk therapy improves results.
