Self Neuro-modulation Therapy for Major Depressive Disorder with Anhedonia
This study is looking into a new treatment called Prism for people with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who also experience anhedonia (a loss of pleasure or interest in activities). Prism is a software device that uses neurofeedback training in a clinic. The study aims to see if Prism training can help reduce symptoms of anhedonia. You might be able to join if you are between 22 and 75 years old, have MDD with anhedonia, and can speak and understand English. Researchers will measure changes in your depression symptoms using a tool called HDRS-21 to see if the treatment is successful. The study plans to enroll 170 participants.
