What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06705270). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: Stanford University. Recruitment status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING. Phase: NA. Study type: INTERVENTIONAL. Enrollment: 20 participants (ESTIMATED). Conditions: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Interventions: BEHAVIORAL: Response-focused education; BEHAVIORAL: Diagnosis-focused education. Primary outcome measures: Change in clinician-rated depression severity , From Day 0 pre-intervention baseline to 1, 2, and 3 days post-intervention. Brief summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to understand how patient education surrounding a one-time, consciousness-altering medical intervention impacts the antidepressant response to the intervention in adults with major depressive disorder. In this study, the consciousness-altering medical intervention is a single infusion of propofol, an intravenous anesthetic which might have antidepressant properties. The main question this study aims to answer is: Does the focus of patient education influence the antidepressant response to a single intravenous infusion of propofol? Researchers will compare response-focused vs. diagnosis-focused education. Qualifying participants will: * Undergo a single intravenous infusion of propofol which will induce a temporary state of sedation * Wear an EEG cap that records brain activity during sedation * Be randomized to receive either response-focused or diagnosis-focused education about their brain signals after they recover from sedation * Be asked to fill out surveys about their mood and other measures of well-being before and after treatment
