    Partial sleep deprivation therapy combined with sertraline affects subjective sleep quality in major depressive disorder
    (Elsevier, 2005) Caliyurt, O; Guducu, F
    Background and purpose: Earlier studies have shown an association between mood disorders and sleep regulation. Total or partial sleep deprivation was demonstrated to have rapid antidepressive effects in depression. Depressive symptoms recur after one night of recovery sleep, but relapse is less when patients are receiving medication. In this study, we examined the subjective sleep quality changes with the antidepressive therapy using partial sleep deprivation plus sertraline and sertraline monotherapy in patients with major depressive disorder. Patients and methods: Thirteen patients received six partial sleep deprivation therapies in addition to sertraline; the sleep schedule on deprivation nights started at 11:00 p.m. and ended at 3:00 a.m. Eleven patients were treated with sertraline monotherapy as a control group. Six nights of partial sleep deprivation were completed in the first two weeks. Subjective sleep quality was evaluated with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQ1); depression and the accompanying anxiety were also assessed at baseline and at the end of the fourth week. Results: The late partial sleep deprivation (LPSD) group showed less increase in estimated sleep duration and less significant improvement in subjective sleep quality than the control group. Although decreased sleep latency and increased sleep efficiency are associated with the sleep deprivation, contrary results were found in our study. Conclusions: In conclusion, changes in subjective sleep quality could occur relative to the combined partial sleep deprivation therapy and to pharmacotherapy and must be differentiated from the rapid effects of sleep deprivation therapy and objective polysomnographic measures.

    Partial sleep deprivation therapy combined with sertraline induces more rapid improvements in quality of life items in major depressive disorder
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2005) Caliyurt, O; Guducu, F
    Background: Total or partial sleep deprivation was showed to have rapid antidepressive effects in depression. Sleep deprivation therapy in major depression constitutes insufficient antidepressive treatment response and depressive symptoms reoccur after one night of recovery. Combination of antidepressant medication with sleep deprivation therapy is generally indicated. These combination therapies were found more favorable overall therapeutic effect than antidepressive monotherapy. Methods: In this study, we examined the Quality of Life changes with the antidepressive therapy using partial sleep deprivation plus sertraline and sertraline monotherapy in patients with major depressive disorder. Thirteen patients received six partial sleep deprivation therapies in addition to sertraline, that sleep schedule in deprivation nights started at 11:00-12:00 p.m. to 03:00 a.m. and 11 patients treated with sertraline monotherapy as a control group. Quality of Life was evaluated with the WHOQOL-100, depression and the accompanying anxiety were also assessed at baseline and at the end of the 4th week. Results: Patients treated with combination therapy improved significantly and more rapidly. Rapid improvement in quality of life in major depressive disorder was showed in patients treated with combination of late partial sleep deprivation and sertraline. Limitations: Small sample size, the lack of placebo group and short duration of the study are the main limitations. Conclusions: In clinical practice, QOL improvement can be accelerated using combination of partial sleep deprivation with the sertraline therapy. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
