Depression Clinical Trial
Official title:
Dance Movement Therapy in the Treatment of Depressed Patients: A Randomised Controlled Trial
This multi-centre research investigates the effects of dance movement therapy (DMT) on participants diagnosed with depression. In total, 109 persons participated in the study in various locations in Finland. All participants received treatment as usual (TAU). They were randomised into DMT + TAU (n = 52) or TAU-only (n = 57). The participants in the DMT + TAU group were offered 20 DMT sessions twice a week for 10 weeks in addition to standard care. The measurement points included pre-treatment measurement at the baseline and post-treatment measurement at the end of the intervention, which was 10 weeks after the pre-treatment measurement. The follow-up measurement was 3 months after the post-treatment measurement. The effects of the intervention were assessed with a clinical measure of depression (BDI-I) and with indicators of physical and psychological distress (CORE-OM and SCL-90). The participants in the treatment group (DMT+TAU) were compared to the participants in the control group who received TAU-only.
This research investigates the outcomes of dance movement therapy (DMT) groups in the
treatment of adults with depression. In total, 157 participants were involved. Of them, 109
were randomized into DMT group (n = 52) or control group (n = 57). The rest of the
participants participated in non-randomized DMT groups. All participants met the criteria for
the eligibility for rehabilitation psychotherapy, had depression diagnosed by a doctor, and
the severity of depression threatened the ability to work/ study. All participants received
treatment as usual during the research. DMT-intervention was facilitated by a dance movement
therapist and included 20 x 75 mins sessions within 10 weeks. Depressive symptoms (BDI),
physical and psychological distress (CORE-OM, SCL-90), ability to work/study, and body image
were assessed at three measurement points: pre-measurement at the baseline, post-measurement
10 weeks after the pre-treatment measurement, and a follow-up measurement three months after
the post-treatment measurement.
This research includes a larger number of participants (N = 109) than have been involved in
previous studies utilising randomised controlled trials in research designs. The research
generates further information about the effectiveness of dance movement therapy groups in the
rehabilitation of depression as it was conducted in five cities across Finland. This type of
multi-centre research can provide a realistic picture of the typical practice of a range of
dance movement therapists working with participants in various geographic locations.
