在一项随机交叉研究中，12名冬季抑郁症患者接受了等量的绿色或白色光治疗。每种处理条件包括每天早晨暴露2小时，持续1周，中间至少1周不处理。在每种情况之前和之后，在不了解治疗情况的情况下进行评级。两种治疗都显著降低了抑郁评分。在减少内源性症状方面，白色光比绿色光明显更有效，但对作为冬季抑郁症常见特征的“非典型”症状没有效果。此外，治疗条件的顺序影响抗抑郁药的反应。宽带白色光对于最大化治疗反应可能是最佳的。
Twelve subjects with winter depression were treated with equal quanta of green or white light in a randomized crossover study. Each treatment condition consisted of 2 hours of exposure each morning for 1 week, with at least 1 intervening week without treatment. Ratings made without knowledge of treatment condition were done before and after each condition. Both treatments significantly reduced depression ratings. White light was significantly more effective than green light in reducing endogenous symptoms, but not the “atypical” symptoms that are common features of winter depression. Furthermore, sequence of treatment conditions influenced antidepressant responses. Broad-band white light may be optimal for maximizing therapeutic response.
