Abstract

Background: Cedrol exhibits relaxation effects, and its scent may reduce stress, thereby contributing to various stressful life situation. However, cedrol has also been reported to induce sleep, which is dangerous by case. Therefore, studies are needed in order to determine whether the relaxation or sleep-inducing effects of cedrol are induced under stressful situation and also how to only attain the former. Method: A cross-over open study was conducted. Subjects were randomly divided into two groups (n = 3 per group). After one course of the Kraepelin test and additional dumbbell lifting before and after the test was performed, subjects entered the placebo or cedrol exposure room, and rested in a sitting position for 20 minutes. Electrocardiographic, electroencephalographic, and blood pressure measurements as well as VAS assessments were conducted. Result: In the present study, no stress response was clearly detected. However, the results of analyses with respect to individuals suggested that cedrol exhibited relaxation effects, and that it did not induce sleep under the conditions adopted in this study.
雪松醇放松和诱导睡眠作用的初步研究
背景:雪松具有放松作用,其气味可以减轻压力,从而有助于缓解各种紧张的生活状况。然而,据报道,雪松醇也会诱发睡眠,这在个别情况下是危险的。因此,雪松醇的放松作用和睡眠诱导作用究竟是在应激状态下产生的,如何才能达到前者,还需要进一步的研究。方法:采用交叉开放研究。受试者随机分为两组(每组n = 3)。在完成一个疗程的Kraepelin测试和测试前后额外的哑铃举举后,受试者进入安慰剂或cedrol暴露室,并以坐姿休息20分钟。进行心电图、脑电图和血压测量以及VAS评估。结果:本研究未检测到明显的应激反应。然而,对个体的分析结果表明,雪松醇表现出放松作用,并且在本研究中采用的条件下,它不会诱导睡眠。
