简要总结

Evidence-based treatments for depression, such as antidepressive medication, usually have a latency of 4 to 6 weeks before they achieve a therapeutic effect. Chronotherapy is a group of non-pharmacological interventions that presumably act on the circadian system to achieve a rapid-onset clinical effect and better long-term effects and has been shown efficient to improve depressive symptoms. Interventions include sleep deprivation, sleep-phase advancement and stabilization, and light therapy. There are few studies testing the effectiveness of combining these three chronotherapeutic techniques in the initial phase of treatment of depression in a mental health care clinic. The investigators aim to test the effects and safety of chronotherapy in addition to TAU compared to TAU alone, with the primary outcome being self-reported depressive symptoms at 1 week following randomization. The study is a randomized controlled trial with 76 patients with a depressive episode who initiate treatment at Nidaros DPS, St. Olavs University Hospital. Participants will be allocated 1:1 to either chronotherapy + treatment as usual (TAU) or to TAU alone.

盲法说明

Masking will not be applicable due to the nature of the study, in which participants randomized to receive chronotherapy plus treatment as usual will be admitted to the ward for a one-night sleep deprivation, and the participants and researchers will understand which intervention arm the participant is receiving. Researchers and participants will not be aware of randomization until after baseline-assessments are completed. Analyses will be conducted by a statistician who is blinded to intervention allocation.

排除标准

  • . Patients are considered ineligible for participation if any of the following are present:
