Depression Clinical Trial
Official title:
Transcranial Continuous and Pulse Near-Infrared Light in Depression: a Placebo-Controlled Study (ELATED-3).
Transcranial Light Therapy involves non-invasive and invisible beams of light that increase energy metabolism in the brain. Transcranial light therapy has been found to promote brain metabolism which may help people with depression. The research team proposes a novel approach to treating depression by using transcranial light therapy.
During study visits a clinician applies transcranial light therapy to both sides of a
participant's forehead for about 30 minutes. The study involves, 1 screening visit which may
last up to the 3 hours, 24 transcranial light therapy treatment visits, and 1 post-treatment
visit (26 total visits to the Massachusetts General Hospital).
If a participant qualifies for the study, we assign the participant by chance to receive
either active transcranial light therapy or sham transcranial light therapy treatment. During
sham transcranial light therapy visits, the transcranial light therapy device will not
produce near infrared waves (e.g., light energy that cannot penetrate the skin and cranium).
Participants have an equal chance of being assigned to the active transcranial light therapy
or the sham transcranial light therapy when first randomized. Neither the participant, nor
the clinician, nor any research staff will know which study group the participant belongs.
Participants are randomized a second time after 6-weeks in the study. If the participant were
in the sham group the first 6-weeks, that participant may receive the active transcranial
light therapy treatment after re-randomization. If the participant were already in the active
transcranial light therapy group during the first 6-weeks the participant continues receiving
the active treatment. All in all, participants have a 1 in 3 chance of receiving the active
transcranial light therapy treatment at some point during the study.
