Cognitive Training as an Adjunct to Ketamine in Real-world Clinics (NCT06526078)
A Brief Automated Neurocognitive Training to Enhance the Real-World Impact of Ketamine's Rapid Antidepressant Effect
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
In a sample of patients already receiving ketamine (or esketamine) treatment as part of their clinical care, this project seeks to test whether we can enhance and/or extend (es)ketamine's rapid effects by introducing helpful information delivered by a computer-based cognitive training protocol. This work could ultimately lead to the ability to treat depression more efficiently and with broader dissemination by rapidly priming the brain for helpful forms of learning.
