Bright light therapy-induced improvements of mood, cognitive functions and cerebellar functional connectivity in subthreshold depression: A randomized controlled trial
Background
The efficacy of bright light therapy (BLT) in ameliorating depression has been validated. The present study is to investigate the changes of depressive symptoms, cognitive function and cerebellar functional connectivity (FC) following BLT in individuals with subthreshold depression (StD).
Method
Participants were randomly assigned to BLT group (N = 47) or placebo (N = 41) in this randomized controlled trial between March 2020 and June 2022. Depression severity and cognitive function were assessed, as well as resting-state functional MRI scan was conducted before and after 8-weeks treatment. Seed-based whole-brain static FC (sFC) and dynamic FC (dFC) analyses of the bilateral cerebellar subfields were conducted. Besides, a multivariate regression model examined whether baseline brain FC was associated with changes of depression severity and cognitive function during BLT treatment.
Results
After 8-week BLT treatment, individuals with StD showed improved depressive symptoms and attention/vigilance cognitive function. BLT also increased sFC between the right cerebellar lobule IX and left temporal pole, and decreased sFC within the cerebellum, and dFC between the right cerebellar lobule IX and left medial prefrontal cortex. Moreover, the fusion of sFC and dFC at baseline could predict the improvement of attention/vigilance in response to BLT.
Conclusions
The current study identified that BLT improved depressive symptoms and attention/vigilance, as well as changed cerebellum-DMN connectivity, especially in the cerebellar-frontotemporal and cerebellar internal FC. In addition, the fusion features of sFC and dFC at pre-treatment could serve as an imaging biomarker for the improvement of attention/vigilance cognitive function after BLT in StD.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Clinical and Health Psychology is dedicated to publishing manuscripts with a strong emphasis on both basic and applied research, encompassing experimental, clinical, and theoretical contributions that advance the fields of Clinical and Health Psychology. With a focus on four core domains—clinical psychology and psychotherapy, psychopathology, health psychology, and clinical neurosciences—the IJCHP seeks to provide a comprehensive platform for scholarly discourse and innovation. The journal accepts Original Articles (empirical studies) and Review Articles. Manuscripts submitted to IJCHP should be original and not previously published or under consideration elsewhere. All signing authors must unanimously agree on the submitted version of the manuscript. By submitting their work, authors agree to transfer their copyrights to the Journal for the duration of the editorial process.
