criteria for NES (O’Reardon et al., 2006). As in the current study, the sertraline sample was made up of primarily Caucasian (79%) women (67%) in their mid-forties (45.1 years). Pre- treatment mean NESS scores (31.7) and BDI-II scores (14.4) were also similar to this study. In the first CBT trail for the treatment of NES, the 25 participants included were also primarily female (76%), Caucasian (68%), and in their mid-forties (46.8 years) (Allison et al., 2010). Average NESS score was 28.7 prior to beginning treatment. In this trial for CBT, however, mean BDI-II score was significantly lower (9). BLT is a potential efficacious treatment for NES. This study offers preliminary evidence that with a relatively short-term administration of morning light therapy, night eating behaviors can significantly improve. Additional benefits are improvements to mood and sleep quality. Based on these data, BLT may offer comparable symptoms improvement when compared to previously investigated treatments. Sertraline was found to be an effective treatment for NES and reduced nocturnal ingestions by 80% in the treatment group. This study also found that many of their participants had a quick and robust response to treatment, even those that had experienced symptoms for many years (O’Reardon et al., 2006). In the CBT trail, NESS scores were reduced from 28.7 at session 1 to 16.3 by session 10 (Allison et al., 2010). As in these studies, these data also demonstrate a relatively robust change in mood and night eating behaviors in a short period of time. Despite the small sample size, large effect sizes were seen for primary and secondary outcomes. This allows an assessment of the effect this treatment may have in the general population. Given the effect sizes seen in this study, a short-term treatment of BLT may provide significant improvement of night eating behaviors, sleep quality, and mood. 53PDF Image | BRIGHT LIGHT THERAPY FOR late NIGHT EATING SYNDRome
