T-RAC: Study protocol of a randomised clinical trial for assessing the acceptability and preliminary efficacy of adding an exergame-augmented dynamic imagery intervention to the behavioural activation treatment of depression.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Improving the existent effective treatments of depression is a promising way to optimise the effects of psychological treatments.
