1. A portable, head-mounted device was developed for administration of light therapy. A randomized crossover protocol was used to test the therapeutic efficacy of this device, compared to a standard light box, for treatment of winter depression. 2. Depressive symptoms were significantly reduced by both the head-mounted device and the light box. 3. Therapeutic efficacy of the two devices was not significantly different. 4. The head-mounted device was rated by patients as significantly more convenient than the conventional light box; this may be important in improving patient compliance.
