Agomelatine with cognitive behavioral therapy reduces insomnia severity index and subjective units of distress scores than initial-dose clonazepam in moderate to severe insomnia patients: A quasi-experimental study
Background
Insomnia can be caused by various factors including lack of sleep, stress, sadness, hormonal changes, excessive caffeine, anxiety, mental health disorders, and medications. Treatments include finding the cause, improving sleep patterns, using behavioral therapy, and taking sleeping pills in most cases. However, the drugs often cause worse side effects than insomnia. This study compared the efficacy of initial agomelatine and clonazepam doses with cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-i) in moderate to severe insomnia patients.
Methods
This quasi-experiment study involved 230 moderate to severe insomnia patients with group A as clonazepam 0.25 mg and B as agomelatine 25 mg. CBT-i was received by both of the groups and the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Subjective Units of Distress Scale (SUDS) score, medication adherence, and Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) were followed for up to 24 weeks.
Results
In the comparative analysis between and within groups, group B exhibited a significant reduction in ISI (p = 0.001) and SUDS (p = 0.001) scores at week 24 compared to group A. Overall, both groups demonstrated improved adherence. However, 12 patients in group A and 10 in group B experienced ADR, which included drowsiness, hypersalivation, diarrhea, maculopapular rash, and myotoxicity. The clonazepam-treated group showed reduced efficacy from week 12 onwards in the ISI and from week 16 in the SUDS median score, which was not observed in the agomelatine group.
Conclusion
The initial dose of agomelatine with CBT-i has a better impact on improving moderate to severe insomnia than the initial dose of clonazepam with CBT-i.
期刊介绍:
Pharmacology Biochemistry & Behavior publishes original reports in the areas of pharmacology and biochemistry in which the primary emphasis and theoretical context are behavioral. Contributions may involve clinical, preclinical, or basic research. Purely biochemical or toxicology studies will not be published. Papers describing the behavioral effects of novel drugs in models of psychiatric, neurological and cognitive disorders, and central pain must include a positive control unless the paper is on a disease where such a drug is not available yet. Papers focusing on physiological processes (e.g., peripheral pain mechanisms, body temperature regulation, seizure activity) are not accepted as we would like to retain the focus of Pharmacology Biochemistry & Behavior on behavior and its interaction with the biochemistry and neurochemistry of the central nervous system. Papers describing the effects of plant materials are generally not considered, unless the active ingredients are studied, the extraction method is well described, the doses tested are known, and clear and definite experimental evidence on the mechanism of action of the active ingredients is provided.
