Laughing Gas is Good

Dec. 10, 2014 -- Laughing gas may help treat severe depression, researchers say.

Their study of 20 patients found that nitrous oxide -- often used to sedate dental surgery patients -- can be a fast-acting and effective treatment for severe depression in people who haven't responded toantidepressants or other standard therapies, CBS News reported.

Two-thirds of patients who received the gas had significant improvements in their depressive symptoms, compared to one-third of those who were given a placebo, according to the study in the journalBiological Psychiatry.

 

"The nitrous oxide treatment improved it above and beyond the placebo," Dr. Peter Nagele, assistant professor of anesthesiology at Washington University's School of Medicine, said in a podcast, CBS News reported. "This was fairly rapid, so at two hours. But our primary endpoint when we measured everybody -- we asked the patients to come back the next day -- was sustained to a day."

Because he was laughing so hard?

Never had the experience. Cy is clueless about some things. Believe it or not.

Well when it came the day I had to have my teeth yanked,
I laid back in the dentist chair with a mask/snorkel of nitrous
flow on a continuos basis and just sat there for a few minutes.
Then some assistant came in the room and asked how I was
doing and I said pretty good. Then a few minutes later she
came back again and I was "flying". Then they went to work
on me. I remember grabbing my female dentist in a very
strong one-armed hug as she was yanking my teeth out.
I had no idea what was going on as it closely resembled
a past LSD experience. So I'd say nitrous oxide is what you
want with any fooling around with your teeth. Tell them
to crank it up..of course your bill will show extra charge.
