Clinical trials

The purpose of this research is to learn more about a new treatment for individuals with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) with heightened symptoms of anhedonia (i.e. loss of pleasure or interest in activities). The treatment is called Prism, and it is a software device intended for a novel form of neurofeedback training to be used in a clinic setting. During this study, the subject will use different techniques to measure brain activities, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electroencephalography (EEG).

Prism is a software as a medical device (SaMD) to be prescribed by clinicians as an adjunct to the standard of care treatment of patients with PTSD. The Prism software device runs on a laptop using an EEG signal input (g).Nautilos PRO (K171669). The primary objective of the study is to extend the use of the FDA cleared Prism for PTSD (K222101) to an adolescent population and to confirm the safety of fifteen (15±3) EEG-NF training sessions using the Prism software in reducing PTSD-related symptoms in adolescents. The study aims to demonstrate the safety profile of Prism, having no device-related serious adverse events (SAEs), consistent with findings in the adult population, throughout the course of Prism treatment in an adolescent population.
