Trial Outcomes

Depressive Symptoms at Baseline and Measured Monthly, as Measured by the Structured Interview Guide for the Hamilton Depression Rating - Seasonal Affective Disorder (SIGH-SAD)

Clinician-rated measure of mood; evaluates classical 21 Hamilton Depression items, and 8-item subscale measuring atypical depression symptoms which commonly occur during SAD episodes. Score ranges from 0-89, higher scores indicate higher levels of depression. (NCT00502320)
Timeframe: Monthly for duration of treatment (up to 4 months)

Depressive Symptoms at Baseline and Measured Monthly, as Measured by the Zung Depression Scale (ZDS)

Self-rated scale to measure severity of depressive symptoms. Score ranges from 25-100, higher scores reflect more depression. (NCT00502320)
Timeframe: Monthly for duration of treatment (up to 4 months)

Sleep Satisfaction at Baseline and Measured Monthly, as Measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)

Self-rated scale to measure quality of sleep via questions regarding sleep latency, duration, efficiency, disturbances, use of sleep medication, and daytime dysfunction. Score ranges from 0-21, higher scores represent more significant sleep disturbance. (NCT00502320)
Timeframe: Monthly for duration of treatment (up to 4 months)
