NIRS Investigation of Mitochondrial Function in Depression and COVID
Depressed Patients: Non-Invasive Study of Brain Oxygen Use
Sponsor: American Psychiatric Association Foundation
Enrolling: Male and Female Patients
Study Length: 2 Days
Clinic Visits: 1
IRB Number: 7887
Contact: Elizabeth Sublette, MD, PhD: 646-774-7561 / elizabeth.sublette@nyspi.columbia.edu
Additional Study Information: This research study uses non-invasive brain imaging called functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). For fNIRS, a small infrared bulb shines light through the skull, and a special light detector is able to measure oxygen use in the brain. Our goal is to understand oxygen use by brain mitochondria cells in major depression and how this is affected by past COVID exposure. Participation includes screening and psychological interviews conducted remotely by phone or video, and one 1 hour visit for a blood test and the fNIRS procedure. For in-person procedures, we follow rigorous medical guidelines to prevent COVID transmission and maximize your safety. Individuals who complete the fNIRS procedure will be compensated $200 plus travel costs.
