Dawn simulators are a useful tool in the treatment of SAD reports Lumie
Dawn simulators have a valuable role to play in the treatment of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) according to the latest research led by medical researcher Dr Konstantin Danilenko in collaboration with Lumie, the Cambridge-based light therapy specialist. The research is published by the Journal of Affective Disorders.Previous research comparing the efficacy of dawn simulation to conventional bright light for the treatment of SAD has yielded conflicting results. Dr Danilenko’s crossover study using Lumie lights investigated further both treatment outcomes and long-term treatment preference.
