Abstract

Introduction: There is increasing evidence for the involvement of an immune process in the pathophysiology of major depression (MD). Previous studies could demonstrate elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines as well as elevated PGE2 levels. Celecoxib is a COX–2 inhibitor, leading to a reduced production of PGE2. We conducted a randomized and placebo-controlled trial of celecoxib as add-on therapy in patients with MD treated with reboxetine.
