First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 32 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding chronotherapy—a combination of sleep deprivation, sleep schedule changes, and light therapy—to standard depression care can relieve symptoms faster than standard care alone. 76 adults starting treatment for a depressive episode will be randomly assigned to either chronotherapy plus usual care or usual care only. The main goal is to see if depression scores improve more in the chronotherapy group after one week.
