COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF EFFECTIVENESS OF OBESITY TREATMENT IN PRIMARY CARE USING PATIENT-ORIENTED APPROACH WITH MOTIVATIONAL COUNSELING FOR LIFESTYLE CORRECTION AND ITS COMBINATION WITH ARMODAFINIL THERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH CONCOMITANT SHIFT WORK SLEEP DISORDER.

Abstract

Objective: Aim: Conduct a comparative analysis of effectiveness of obesity treatment in primary care using patient-oriented approach with motivational counseling for lifestyle correction and its combination with armodafinil therapy in patients with concomitant shift work sleep disorder.

Patients and methods: Materials and Methods: 75 patients with obesity were studied, 38 patients had shift work disorder. Patients were divided into 2 groups: I (37 patients with obesity treated with motivational counseling) and II (38 patients with obesity and shift work disorder treated additionally with armodafinil 150 mg daily). The examination was at baseline, after 1st, 3th and 6th months. Statistical analysis was provided.

Results: Results: After 1 month of treatment, there were improvement of eating behavior, level of anxiety and depression, prognosis of diabetes development. At 3rd month, more pronounced changes were observed in 2nd group: 10% body weight loss, changes in eating behavior, sleep quality, anxiety level (p<0.05). After 6 months, examined indicators in both groups normalized, but dynamics in 2nd group was more significant; armodafinil-treated group had significantly better results in body weight loss, BMI, WC, HC, ConI, AVI, BPs, HOMA index, serotonin, leptin, levels of anxiety and depression, eating behavior, daytime dysfunction, level of sleepiness, quality of life and risk of developing diabetes.

Conclusion: Conclusions: The use of armofafinil in addition to patientoriented motivational counseling in lifestyle correction ("5 As" and "5R") in patients with obesity connected with shift work disorder and excessive daytime sleepiness allows to reduce body weight by more than 16,52%, in contrast to isolated use of the same technique of motivational counseling in obese patients without sleep disorder (only 5,51%).
