Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to better understand how low-level light therapy (LLLT) can be used to augment the antidepressant effects of Deprexis, an internet-based treatment program for depression, for participants with current major depressive disorder. The researchers will administer active and placebo LLLT to the right forehead of participants who show an improvement of at least 10% in depressive symptoms from baseline after two weeks of Deprexis treatment. Hypothesis: Participants who receive active LLLT will show a greater reduction of depressive symptoms than participants who receive placebo LLLT.
