Improvements were calculated as the difference between pretreatment and posttreatment scores. Age, sex, ethnicity, apnea-hypopnea index, and CPAP compliance, were analyzed. Significant improvements were observed across all age groups after CPAP treatment: ESS scores improved by a mean of 5.6 points ( P < 0.001), PHQ scores improved by 6.3 points ( P < 0.001), and GAD scores improved by 1.1 points ( P = 0.002). CPAP therapy effectively reduced daytime sleepiness, depression, and anxiety in patients with OSA, with significant age-related differences in outcomes.

Relevant advantages of OAPs identified in the literature include dosing flexibility, ease of discontinuation, lower cost, autonomy of patient administration, shorter time to steady-state, and wide choice of molecules, including risk of nonadherence, plasma level fluctuations, food and drug interactions, and polypharmacy. LAIs' advantages include improved adherence leading to reduced relapse rates and hospitalizations, patient convenience, and stable drug levels while disadvantages include discomfort of injection, possible stigma, less manageable drug interactions, organization of administration centers, and patient preference possibly contrary to physician preference. When treating schizophrenia, it is critical to consider patients' needs, preferences, and history of medication adherence.

A comprehensive survey was conducted among physicians from various European countries to gather insights into prescribing habits, treatment patterns, and the impact of comorbidities on therapeutic choices, with a focus on trazodone. The participants included psychiatrists, general practitioners, and neurologists actively involved in elderly depression care. The findings reveal a preference among physicians for using antidepressants like trazodone, due to efficacy and tolerability. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors were also commonly prescribed, while tricyclic antidepressants and monoamine oxidase inhibitors were less favored. Psychiatric conditions and sleep disturbances significantly influenced treatment decisions. The survey underscored the importance of multidisciplinary management and the crucial role of caregivers in the treatment process. Effective management of depression in the elderly demands a precision approach that incorporates a thorough understanding of pharmacology, comorbidities, and a collaborative approach to maximize the effects of treatment while trying to minimize polypharmacy and the co-occurring side effects.

This mini-review examines pharmacological and nonpharmacological therapies for managing depression in PD, analyzing their benefits, and limitations. Pharmacological options include tricyclic antidepressants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), levodopa, dopaminergic agonists, and monoamine oxidase B inhibitors. Nonpharmacological strategies involve brief psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), physical exercise, phytomedicine, massage therapy, music therapy, phototherapy, yoga, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), transcranial direct current stimulation, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), and deep brain stimulation. SSRIs, SNRIs, and some dopamine agonists have shown effectiveness and good tolerability, especially when combined with CBT or rTMS. For severe or refractory cases, ECT remains a viable option. Although many of these therapies show promise, the limited number and scale of studies for each treatment restrict the strength of current evidence. Further large-scale, multicenter randomized-controlled trials are essential to validate these preliminary findings and establish evidence-based guidelines.

Monotherapy with serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs) often leads to only partial improvement of symptoms. In such cases, a common, well established, treatment approach for most patients is the augmentation of SRI therapy with antipsychotic medications. Brexpiprazole is an atypical antipsychotic agent that acts as a partial agonist of 5-HT1A, D2, and D3 receptors. Purpose of this retrospective observational study was to evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of brexpiprazole as augmentation to SRIs in patients with treatment-resistant OCD. This preliminary study included a sample of 10 patients diagnosed with treatment-resistant OCD who underwent a 12-week trial of augmentative brexpiprazole, starting at a dose of 1 mg/day, with dosage adjustments based on clinical judgment. Treatment response was assessed through changes in the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) total score from baseline to the end of the 12-week observation period. Adverse events were systematically recorded. Significant improvement was observed after the 12-week period: at the endpoint, seven patients (70%) achieved a ≥25% reduction in Y-BOCS total score compared to baseline, with five of them (50% of the overall sample) showing a more robust clinical response (≥35% reduction). Mild adverse effects, such as sedation and weight gain, were reported by two participants (20% of the overall sample). These findings suggest that brexpiprazole may offer a promising effectiveness and tolerability profile in the management of treatment-resistant OCD.","PeriodicalId":13698,"journal":{"name":"International Clinical Psychopharmacology","volume":" ","pages":"e14-e20"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12459139/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143255480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Correlation analyses revealed significant negative associations between intravenous (IV) trazodone dosage and improvements in MADRS ( r = -0.23; P < 0.05), item 5 of GAD-7 ( r = -0.27; P < 0.001), and CGI-S scores ( r = -0.22; P < 0.05). Therapy duration also correlated negatively with improvements in GAD-7 item 5 ( r = -0.29; P < 0.001) and CGI-S ( r = -0.27; P < 0.001), indicating diminishing returns with prolonged treatment. Regression analyses showed that therapy duration, but not dosage, significantly influenced improvements in GAD-7 item 5 and CGI-S. Trazodone was well-tolerated, with only mild side effects in 11.3% of patients. These findings suggest that IV trazodone effectively reduces agitation and related symptoms in MDD-MF, particularly in the early treatment phase, emphasizing the importance of optimizing treatment duration.
