Even if the percentage of patients assuming prophylactic therapies with antidepressant or mood stabilizer drugs was similar in both groups, with and without psychiatric comorbidity, we can not exclude a role of these drugs in the final results.
This beneficial effect was seen in placebo group with mood disturbance.
With respect to psychosocial, there was a significant interaction effect for SF-36 subscale, ie, social functioning (P<0.05), of which there was an increased in the mean score among intervention group with mood disturbance from 74±19.4 (baseline) to 89±10.0 (week 3), and 90±9.1 (week 6), when compared with the decrease in placebo group (Table 4 and Figure 5A).
In a literature review, Bair et al. found evidence of chronic pain in a mean 65% of adult patients with depression [ 3], while in our study the prevalence was 79% for the group with mood disorders, of which depression was the most prevalent disorder.
The results of this pilot study show a significant correlation between mood and enjoyment of life in both groups, mood and relationships in the chronic group, average pain and sleep in the chronic group, average pain and eating chewing in the chronic group, and phobia for physical disease with trust in clinicians in the chronic group.
Mood was equivalent between the groups prior to watching the film, and as predicted, both groups experienced comparable mood deterioration following the film (emphasis added).

Compared with women with no depressive symptoms, both groups of women with depressed mood were more likely to be younger (p < 0.01), black (p < 0.01), unmarried (p < 0.01), unemployed (p < 0.01), report poorer health (p < 0.01), be of lower income (p < 0.01) and be enrolled later in gestation (p < 0.001).
Stratified analyses estimated for the first model for the score a hazard ratio of 1.02 (95% CI 1.00-1.04, p value 0.10) in the non-depressed mood group (n = 6,769) and 1.06 (95% CI 1.03-1.09, p value <0.001) in the group with depressed mood (n = 3,785).
