Resting and Dynamic Brain Glutamate by MRS In Vivo: Relation to Suicidal Behavior (Depression)
A Neuroimaging Study on Brain Chemistry in Depression
Sponsor: National Institute of Mental Health
Enrolling: Male and Female Patients
Study Length: 1 Months
Clinic Visits: 3
IRB Number: AAAV4037
Contact: Camila Gomez Restrepo: / cr3438@cumc.columbia.edu
Additional Study Information: We are conducting a study on depression and suicide risk, and participants can earn up to $300 for taking part. Suicide rates in the U.S. are rising, and new treatments are urgently needed. This study focuses on the brain chemical glutamate, which may play an important role in mood and mental health. We will compare glutamate levels at rest and during simple tasks in three groups: people with depression and past suicidal behavior, people with depression but no suicidal behavior, and healthy volunteers. Please email cr3438@cumc.columbia.edu for more information.
