Could a hot sauna be the key to cooling depression?
NCT ID NCT05708976
Summary
This study explored whether adding whole-body heat therapy (like a medical sauna) to standard cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) could help people with major depression. Thirty adults with depression received eight weeks of CBT and were randomly assigned to also get either real or fake (sham) heat sessions. The goal was to see if the combination was acceptable to patients and if it helped reduce depression symptoms more than CBT alone.
