Efficacy, moderators and mediators of cognitive behavioural analysis system of psychotherapy (CBASP) versus behavioural activation (BA) in persistently depressed treatment-resistant inpatients: study protocol for the multicentre, randomised controlled changePDD trial
Overview
This study protocol outlines a multicentre randomised controlled trial comparing Cognitive Behavioural Analysis System of Psychotherapy (CBASP) with Behavioural Activation (BA) for adults with treatment-resistant persistent depressive disorder in an inpatient setting. The research aims to assess short- and long-term efficacy, safety, and health-economic benefits while exploring moderators and mediators of treatment effects. It is designed for clinicians and researchers interested in evidence-based guidance for selecting psychotherapies for this specific patient population.
