Inside the Research
Question: How does ketamine reduce suicidal ideation among veterans with PTSD?
Strategy: Veterans with PTSD and suicidal ideation will be treated with ketamine. A new method of brain imaging, Intrinsic Connectivity Distribution Analysis, will be used to measure brain changes.
Impact: A novel approach to treating PTSD and reducing suicidal ideation and risk.
