Transcranial Light Therapy
Transcranial light therapy penetrates the skin and brain using light energy and, the light energy may activate under-stimulated brain regions. Transcranial Light Therapy: Transcranial light therapy penetrates the skin and brain using light energy; this makes transcranial light therapy noninvasive. Transcranial light therapy may activate under-stimulated brain regions.
Sham Transcranial Light Therapy
For the sham group, The transcranial light therapy device uses nonpenetrating light emitting diode light energy. The sham controls for which participants improve from the actual transcranial light therapy treatment and which participants improve during the study for reasons other than the therapy Transcranial Light Therapy: Transcranial light therapy penetrates the skin and brain using light energy; this makes transcranial light therapy noninvasive. Transcranial light therapy may activate under-stimulated brain regions. Sham Transcranial Light Therapy: The same device used for the actual transcranial light therapy is used as the sham device; The device, when set to sham, will mimic the actual transcranial light therapy; however, when set to sham the device does not emit skin and cranium penetrating light emitting diode light energy.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 weeks - Sequential-parallel comparison design

Population: Sham Group in Phase 1 accounts for all subjects Receiving Sham. Patients in Sham within the first phase would be re-randomized to either NIR or Sham after completion of the initial 6 weeks. 2 participants in Sham did not have scores collected, as such the Sham group for Phase 1 consists of 29 participants rather than the total 31.

This is a brief (16-item) clinician-rated inventory of core depressive symptoms such as sleep, depressed mood, appetite, concentration, suicidal ideation, interest, energy, psychomotor retardation or agitation. Scores range from 0-27, higher scores indicating greater depression severity.

Timeframe: 6 weeks - Sequential-parallel comparison design

Population: Patients in Sham within the first phase would be re-randomized to either NIR or Sham after completion of the initial 6 weeks. There were two participants in the Sham group who did not have scores for the primary analysis (QIDS), we decided to include them in the secondary analysis (HAMD) as they had scores.

assessment of the patient's depressive symptoms, using a structured interview and defined anchor points. The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale aims to quantify the degree of depression in patients who already have a diagnosis of major depression. Score ranges from 0-52. Higher score indicates greater severity of depression.
