Abstract
Background
Insomnia symptoms are prevalent among patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This study involved secondary analyses from a previous randomized controlled trial testing if d-Cycloserine (DCS) augmented the effects of the Bergen 4-day treatment (B4DT) for OCD. In this study, the effects of the B4DT on sleep difficulties in a sample of difficult-to-treat OCD were explored.
Methods
The three groups received B4DT with either a placebo, 100 mg, or 250 mg of DCS. Patients (N = 163) had either not responded or relapsed after previous exposure-based treatment for OCD.
Results
The results showed a small, but robust treatment effect on insomnia symptoms (d = 0.37), maintained at 3-month follow-up (d = 0.38), and 12-month follow-up (d = 0.23). No significant differences between the groups receiving DCS or placebo were found. Insomnia did not affect OCD-treatment outcome.
Discussion
This study showed that OCD treatment is associated with some improvement in insomnia symptoms. Comorbid insomnia and DCS did not moderate treatment outcome. Patients with OCD and comorbid insomnia should be considered for specific insomnia treatment.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
