Recruiting · NCT06879977 · Observational (researchers observe without assigning treatment)
View the official record on ClinicalTrials.gov →What this trial is about
Body awareness plays a crucial role in health and well-being. However, too little research has been carried out on how it manifests in individuals with depressive disorders. The Awareness Body Chart (ABC), a tool developed in recent years to assess body awareness, may provide new insights into the physical experience of people with depression and may lead the way in the application of body-oriented therapies in this cohort. Information about the distribution properties of the Awareness Body Chart in people with depressive disorder will be collected and analysed in this observational study.
