This retrospective clinical review examined the safety and effectiveness of a novel combination therapy—transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with ketamine analgesia (CTK)—for patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Twenty-eight patients who had not responded to other treatments received high-output TMS and biomarker-guided ketamine infusions. The study found a significant reduction in depression severity, as measured by the Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scale, which was sustained for two years after treatment. The combination allowed for higher TMS intensities than usual, with no major adverse effects. The authors conclude that CTK can be a promising long-term therapy for TRD.

The article "Brain SPECT as an Imaging Biomarker for Evaluating Effects of Novel Treatments in Psychiatry–A Case Series" explores the use of Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) as a functional brain imaging tool to assess and monitor the effects of novel treatments in patients with complex neuropsychiatric conditions. The study presents six case studies where SPECT imaging was used to evaluate the efficacy of treatments such as combination transcranial magnetic stimulation with ketamine infusions (CTK), hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), and perispinal administration of etanercept (PSE). The findings suggest that SPECT imaging can serve as a valuable biomarker for monitoring clinical changes and guiding treatment decisions in psychiatry.
