Cognitive behavior therapy vs. control conditions, other psychotherapies, pharmacotherapies and combined treatment for depression: a comprehensive meta‐analysis including 409 trials with 52,702 patients
Overview
This comprehensive meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy of cognitive behavior therapy for depression by comparing it against control conditions, other psychotherapies, pharmacotherapies, and combined treatments across 409 trials involving over 52,000 patients. The study reports that CBT demonstrates moderate to large effects compared to control groups, with benefits persisting at follow-up, while showing small or non-significant differences relative to other psychotherapies and short-term pharmacotherapy. It also examines the comparative effectiveness of combined treatments versus monotherapies and notes the increasing quality of included trials over time.
