Efficacy evaluation of exercise as an augmentation strategy to brief behavioral activation treatment for depression: a randomized pilot trial
Overview
This randomized pilot trial evaluates adding exercise prescriptions to brief behavioral activation treatment for depression in thirty-one sedentary patients. The study assesses credibility, completion rates, and changes in depression, quality of life, distress intolerance, and perceived stress over twelve weeks. Results indicate that while all participants improved across outcomes, those in the exercise condition showed greater reductions in distress intolerance and perceived stress compared to the stretching control group.
