Abstract

The objective of this study was to systematically review the literature and perform a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the effectiveness of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for depression in patients with moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury. Databases searched were: Embase, PubMed, PsycInfo, Cochrane Central, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Depression score on a self-report questionnaire was the outcome measure. Outcomes were collected at baseline and at the first follow-up moment. Data extraction was executed independently by two researchers. Thirteen RCTs were identified: five pharmacological and eight non-pharmacological. Although not all individual studies had significant results, the overall standardized mean difference (SMD) was -0.395, p
