Near‐infrared spectroscopy for examination of prefrontal activation during cognitive tasks in patients with major depressive disorder: A meta‐analysis of observational studies

Near‐infrared spectroscopy has the potential for aiding the diagnosis of major depressive disorder. The purpose of this study was to systematically review the evidence from observational studies regarding the use of near‐infrared spectroscopy in patients with major depressive disorder and to identify the characteristic pattern of prefrontal lobe activity in major depressive disorder.
