About this trial
Many studies have shown that patients with depression had weak brain region connections and low levels of activation of the prefrontal lobe when brain activity was active and that patients with depression have a negative attentional bias, and the patient's abnormal attentional allocation may stem from a loss of attention avoidance of negative cues and a loss of attention preference for positive cues. Here use the near-infrared, eye movement to evaluate the cognitive function in patients with depression. The purpose of the study is to explore the correlation between depressed symptom and cognition function among the depression patients and the difference between first-onset of depressed patients and those is recurrent.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Change in Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-17)
Scores ranging from 0-54, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms
Change in Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale (PSQI)
Scores ranging from 0-21, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms
Changes in Beck Suicidal Scale Inventory (BSI)
Scores ranging from 0-100, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms
Changes in selective attention through eye-tracking task.
Eye-tracking task was performed using the free-viewing paradigm. By presenting images of irritable, threatening,positive, and neutral emotional scenes, the subject's selective attention was measured.
Secondary outcomes
Change in Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA)
Scores ranging from 0-56, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms
Change in Young's Mania Scale (YMRS)
Scores ranging from 0-60, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms
