Trial Outcomes & Findings for Anesthesia and Functional Connectivity: An Analysis of fMRI Changes (NCT NCT02196259)

NCT ID: NCT02196259

Last Updated: 2017-05-02

Results Overview

The imaging experiments and analysis of subject-specific data will lead to maps corresponding to separate measures: resting state functional connectivity maps. The outcome of interest is whether ketamine reduces functional connectivity between the anterior (subgenual anterior cingulate corte, sgACC) and posterior regions (posterior cingulate cortex, PCC) of the default mode network. This is the z-score of the functional connectivity correlation. Timepoints for Initial fMRI were: Time 1:Immediately before Infusion, Time 2: After washout (Approx. 40 min after end of infusion). Timepoints for Depression were: Time 1: 1 Day before Infusion, Time 2: 1 Day after Infusion

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 minutes scans, acquired between 1 day and 3 days (see above)

Population: Primary outcome measure is functional connectivity as measured using the MRI scans, which is only in the Initial MRI and Depression Arms.

The imaging experiments and analysis of subject-specific data will lead to maps corresponding to separate measures: resting state functional connectivity maps. The outcome of interest is whether ketamine reduces functional connectivity between the anterior (subgenual anterior cingulate corte, sgACC) and posterior regions (posterior cingulate cortex, PCC) of the default mode network. This is the z-score of the functional connectivity correlation. Timepoints for Initial fMRI were: Time 1:Immediately before Infusion, Time 2: After washout (Approx. 40 min after end of infusion). Timepoints for Depression were: Time 1: 1 Day before Infusion, Time 2: 1 Day after Infusion
