Intravenous (IV) ketamine is an emerging intervention for treatment-resistant depression (TRD), yet the temporal dynamics of response and the optimal number of infusions remain unclear, particularly in real-world clinical populations with psychiatric comorbidities. We conducted a retrospective chart review of 209 adults with TRD treated with IV ketamine at an interventional psychiatry program....
Nitrous oxide may possess antidepressant effects; however, limited data exist on repeated administrations and active placebo-controlled studies in treatment-resistant depression (TRD). We aimed to test the feasibility of a randomised controlled trial examining a 4-week course of nitrous oxide or midazolam, an active placebo. In this randomised, active, placebo-controlled pilot trial, 40...

Thus, we aim to examine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a six-week follow up study examining the effects of a 4 week...
