Improving adherence to physical activity in treatment-resistant depression: Protocol for a pilot randomized controlled trial of a remotely delivered program
Randomized controlled trial assesses feasibility and effects of physical activity in adults with treatment-resistant depression, implying potential for personalized interventions.
Key Points
The pilot trial investigates the feasibility of a remotely delivered physical activity program in treating adults with treatment-resistant depression.
Participants will engage in a four-week adjunct physical activity program alongside standard treatment, aiming to reduce depressive symptoms.
