Mood and Anxiety Ratings in MDD women by RAVANS Session

Rating scale	e-RAVANS	i-RAVANS	p value
BDI
Prescan	28.1 ± 6.92	26.5 ± 7.77	0.52
Postscan	19.8 ± 9.05	22.9 ± 9.73	0.33
Post-Pre difference **	−8.21 ± 7.4	−3.58 ± 4.83	0.03
STAI (State anxiety score)
Prescan	55.2 ± 6.29	54.1 ± 8.65	0.65
Postscan	47.8 ± 7.49	52.3 ± 7.97	0.09
Post-Pre difference *	−7.36 ± 10.8	−1.76 ± 5.79	0.06
IAPS Stimuli Ratings
Negative arousal	4.72 ± 1.79	5.28 ± 2.43	0.41
Negative valence	7.29 ± 1.38	7.58 ± 0.97	0.46

^**A repeated-measures ANOVA revealed a session x time significant interaction for BDI scores (F(1,36)= 4.79, p=0.03).

^*A repeated-measures ANOVA revealed a trend toward a session x time significant interaction for STAI state scores (F(1,36)= 3.62, p=0.06). Post-hoc analysis revealed that MDD subjects reported a significant decrease in STAI state scores after e-RAVANS stimulation compared to baseline values (p<0.01).
