nitrous oxide and Depression, Involutional

nitrous oxide has been researched along with Depression, Involutional in 13 studies

Nitrous Oxide: Nitrogen oxide (N2O). A colorless, odorless gas that is used as an anesthetic and analgesic. High concentrations cause a narcotic effect and may replace oxygen, causing death by asphyxia. It is also used as a food aerosol in the preparation of whipping cream.
dinitrogen oxide : A nitrogen oxide consisting of linear unsymmetrical molecules with formula N2O. While it is the most used gaseous anaesthetic in the world, its major commercial use, due to its solubility under pressure in vegetable fats combined with its non-toxicity in low concentrations, is as an aerosol spray propellant and aerating agent for canisters of 'whipped' cream.

Depression, Involutional: Form of depression in those MIDDLE AGE with feelings of ANXIETY.

Trial Outcomes

Change in Tinnitus Functional Index (TFI) Score

"Change of participant-reported tinnitus symptoms 1 week after each intervention.~The Tinnitus Functional Index (TFI) is a 25-question survey assessing tinnitus impact on quality of life. Participants were asked to rate on a scale from 0-10 the degree of unpleasantness, cognitive interference, sleep disturbance, auditory difficulties, interference with relaxation, and emotional distress associated with their tinnitus. Subscores are summed and scaled to a score of 0-100. A score less than 25 indicates mild problems due to tinnitus and little need for intervention, while a score between 25-50 indicates significant problems due to tinnitus with potential need for intervention.~A decrease in TFI score indicates decreased bother due to tinnitus over time, a better outcome. An increase in TFI score indicates increased bother due to tinnitus over time, a worse outcome." (NCT03365011)
Timeframe: Pre-intervention and 1 week post-intervention

Change in Global Bothersome Scale (GBS) Score

"Change in participant-reported tinnitus bother after each intervention.~Global Bothersome Scale (GBS) measured participant's self-assessment of tinnitus bother on a 5-point scale ranging from Not bothered, 0 to Extremely bothered, 5.~A change of 0 indicates no change in tinnitus bother over time. A change of -1 indicates somewhat improved tinnitus bother, and a change of positive 1 indicates somewhat worsened tinnitus bother. A change of positive 2 indicates significantly worsened tinnitus bother." (NCT03365011)
