Does your 13-17 year old have treatment resistant depression?
Yale is conducting a study to examine the safety, efficacy, response predictors, and post treatment trajectory of adolescents (13–17 years old) with treatment-resistant depression and high suicide risk following a conservative repeat dosing Ketamine infusion paradigm compared to an active control, Midazolam. Those who are randomized to Midazolam and remain ill have the option to cross-over to Ketamine in the open phase.
All participants will be followed closely for 4 months post-treatment and treated with standard of care depression treatment (medication management and cognitive behavioral therapy). Brain-based predictors of anti-suicidal responses will be assessed via connectome predictive modeling and examining functional brain circuits via fMRI before and after treatment.
To learn more about how this study may benefit your patients, contact Brooke Rivera, Clinical Coordinator, Yale Pediatric Depression Lab at (203) 974-2241 or email PediDepression@yale.edu.

Does your child have chronic tics or Tourette Syndrome?
If your child is 10-16 years old with chronic tics, they may be eligible to receive neurofeedback treatment. We use a form of neurofeedback that involves monitoring brain activity via fMRI. The purpose of this study is to determine if our neurofeedback intervention can reduce tic symptoms and improve our understanding of Tourette Syndrome.
Participation can result in compensation up to $880.
