Using speech patterns to predict treatment response in depression, PTSD, or bipolar disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if a computer algorithm can analyze your speech to predict how well you will respond to treatments like TMS or Spravato. It aims to create a simple tool that helps doctors choose the right treatment for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently an outpatient (not hospitalized).
- You are between 18 and 68 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with major depression, PTSD, or bipolar disorder.
- You are scheduled to start either TMS or Spravato (esketamine) treatment.
- You have been on the same medication for at least 2 months and do not plan to change it.
- You are fluent in English and have a working internet connection and a device with a microphone.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks for early brain-wave patterns that could help personalize treatment for people with depression that hasn't responded to medication. Researchers will use brain imaging and a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to see if these patterns can predict who benefits most from treatment.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation technique called TMS can help people with depression, anxiety, OCD, or schizophrenia. It aims to find better ways to target the treatment for each person's specific needs.
This trial tests whether using brain-related “biomarkers” from your scans to guide rTMS can improve depression that hasn’t responded to at least one antidepressant. It may help by targeting brain circuits linked to depression more precisely.
This study uses a computer program to listen to your speech and see if it can help detect mental health or neurodevelopmental conditions. It may help find new ways to diagnose conditions like ADHD, anxiety, depression, and others earlier.
This study uses a special headband (TD-fNIRS) that measures brain activity to see if it can predict how well different depression treatments work. You would be starting a new treatment for depression (like ketamine, SPRAVATO, TMS, or antidepressants) and wear the headband before and during treatment.
This trial uses computer modeling based on brain measurements to try to predict which depression treatment will work for you. It may help match you with the most effective option faster by understanding your motivation-related brain patterns.
