ketamine and Genetic Predisposition

ketamine has been researched along with Genetic Predisposition in 10 studies

Ketamine: A cyclohexanone derivative used for induction of anesthesia. Its mechanism of action is not well understood, but ketamine can block NMDA receptors (RECEPTORS, N-METHYL-D-ASPARTATE) and may interact with sigma receptors.
ketamine : A member of the class of cyclohexanones in which one of the hydrogens at position 2 is substituted by a 2-chlorophenyl group, while the other is substituted by a methylamino group.

MADRS Score - Baseline

Antidepressant effects were assessed using the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). It is a ten-item diagnostic questionnaire which psychiatrists use to measure the severity of depressive episodes. Higher MADRS score indicates more severe depression, and each item yields a score of 0 to 6. The overall score ranges from 0 to 60. (NCT00088699)

MADRS Score - Day 1 Following Intervention

Antidepressant effects were assessed using the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). It is a ten-item diagnostic questionnaire which psychiatrists use to measure the severity of depressive episodes. Higher MADRS score indicates more severe depression, and each item yields a score of 0 to 6. The overall score ranges from 0 to 60. (NCT00088699)
