Official title
Placebo-Controlled Dose-Ranging Trial of Creatine Augmentation for Adolescent Females With Treatment-Resistant Major Depressive Disorder: a Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Study
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to see if creatine, which is a naturally occurring chemical in the body, is effective for treating Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in female teenagers. The primary hypothesis is that compared to placebo, 2g, 4g, and 10g of creatine monohydrate for eight weeks will be associated with a significant increase in brain phosphocreatine (PCr) concentrations.
