What Does Research Say About SPRAVATO for Treatment-Resistant Depression?

Esketamine has been evaluated in clinical trials and increasingly in routine clinical practice.

A 2026 systematic review and meta-analysis published in the Journal of Affective Disorders evaluated nine real-world observational studies involving intranasal esketamine for adults with treatment-resistant depression. Researchers reported significant reductions in depressive symptoms, with response and remission rates increasing over time. View the study on PubMed
