Summary
This trial aims to test a meditation-based treatment for people with depression in an open and transparent way.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with moderate depression as measured by the PHQ9, a common symptom rating tool. It's not suitable for those who are acutely suicidal, currently abusing substances, or diagnosed with psychotic disorders or bipolar disorder.
What is being tested?
The study is testing MediNF, a meditative neurofeedback intervention designed to improve mood in people suffering from depression. This open-label single-arm study means all participants receive the same treatment without a comparison group.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves meditative practices and biofeedback rather than medication, side effects may include discomfort during sessions or frustration if no improvement in mood is perceived.
