Brief Summary: Background Previous studies have suggested that non-pharmacological treatments such as binaural beat music BBM and rhythmic photic stimulation RPS may help improve depressive symptoms and enhance quality of life However their effectiveness in elderly patients with depression remains unclear

Objectives This study aims to investigate the effects of combining BBM and RPS on improving depression quality of life and heart rate variability HRV in elderly patients with depression

Methods This study was conducted as a single-blind randomized controlled trial Forty-eight elderly patients with depression were recruited from a long-term care institution in Taiwan and randomly assigned to either the BBM and RPS group or the Sham group Participants received 20 minutes of intervention daily Monday to Friday for 12 consecutive weeks During the intervention participants in the BBM and RPS group listened to 10Hz BBM embedded with classic old songs and wore RPS glasses that provided 10Hz light stimulation In contrast participants in the Sham group listened to classic old songs and wore RPS glasses without the 10Hz light stimulation
