Morning versus evening bright light treatment of late luteal phase dysphoric disorder
Abstract
Six women with late luteal phase dysphoric disorder had a significant reduction in depression ratings after treatment with evening, but not morning, bright light. Bright light may offer an alternative to the pharmacologic treatment of premenstrual mood disorders.

“Indeed, studies have found that light therapy was effective in significantly reducing depressive symptoms in PMDD patients [110–112].”

In the citing paper
“While an initial study by Parry et al. [110] found that bright evening light was more effective than morning light, a follow-up study by the same group [111] achieved similar beneficial effects of symptom alleviation in PMDD patients using bright white light in the morning, bright white light in the evening, and dim red light in the evening (a putative placebo).”

“Unlike MDD, however, in which morning bright light had the greatest antidepressant effects [109], two studies demonstrated the most mood improvement after evening bright light.”

“PMDD patients, like those with MDD, have responded favorably to light therapy during their symptomatic LP.”

In the citing paper
“Finally, nonpharmacological therapies for PMDD symptoms which target the sleep-wake cycle and circadian rhythms, such as phototherapy [110–112] and sleep deprivation [52, 65, 113, 114], are often effective in improving mood and sleep quality in these patients.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
