简要总结
The purpose of this study is to investigate the neuroanatomical effects of ketamine treatment on patients with treatment-resistant depression. The investigators will compare the neuroimaging of patients several days before and after injection in order to assess the more durable changes induced by ketamine. In addition, changes in perfusion will be analyzed, in addition to changes in neurovascular coupling, and functional connectivity that are correlated with psychiatric measures.
详细描述
The present study is designed as a prospective data analysis of patient response to the use of ketamine to treat treatment-resistant depression. For Phase I trail, 10 patients of any gender with an age range of 18 to 70 who have undergone the outlined procedure will be recruited for inclusion. Patients will be examined by the principle investigator. All patients must be diagnosed with persistent treatment-resistant depression and prescribed ketamine. Patients will be accepted regardless of if the depression coincided with anxiety and/or pain. Patient status will be assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory, and Brief Pain Inventory. Patients must have a Beck Depression Inventory score of 10 or above. These scores will be used as baseline data. Patients will be offered the option of participating in the study and provided informed consent for neuroimaging before and after the ketamine treatment.
A week before the scheduled ketamine treatment, the patients will have fMRI scans, including structural T1, Arterial Spin Labeling, and Resting BOLD. The scans take around 30 minutes at no charge to the patients. The ketamine will be injected per the doctor's orders to achieve a dissociative state; dosages varies between 75mg - 1000mg depending on every individual's unique treatment plan. The same scans will be taken two days after treatment.

结局指标
主要结局
fMRI T1 baseline
时间窗: Images to be acquired 7 days prior to Ketamine intervention
T1-data was collected as a sagittal MPRAGE sequence. T1 images are corrected for field biasing and then skull stripped and linearly registered to standard MNI space. Each patients' T1 image is segmented into 100 cortical and 15 subcortical areas using the Harvard-Oxford Cortical and Subcortical structural atlas. Mean volume is computed for each of these regions for each patient, which can be used for quantitative comparison.
fMRI T1 post-intervention comparison
时间窗: Images to be acquired at 2 days post-treatment

Arterial Spin Labeling (fMRI) baseline
时间窗: Images to be acquired 7 days prior to Ketamine intervention
Pulsed Arterial Spin Labeling is collected as an echo planar sequence. ASL data is superimposed over the acquired T1-weighted brain image demonstrating a map of cerebral perfusion. Quantification to CBF values (milliliters of blood per 100g of tissue per minute) is implemented and voxel-based comparisons showing perfusion values relative to the acquired data range are used for quantification.

fMRI Resting Bold baseline
时间窗: Images to be acquired 7 days prior to Ketamine intervention
The signal change measured in BOLD imaging comes from the brain oversupplying the region of activation with oxygen, leading to a focal decrease in deoxygenated hemoglobin. Processed BOLD imaging allows for visualization of hemodynamic response (HR) and neurovascular coupling (NVC) based on signal variability and distribution. These elements can be quantified and used for comparison.
