Original description
This study used polysomnographic technology and randomly selected 60 patients who met the diagnostic criteria for depression and non-organic insomnia as stipulated in DSM-5 into an intervention group (n=30) and a control group (n=30). The intervention group was given only 5-hydroxytryptamine balanced antidepressants trazodone, while the control group was given citalopram hydrobromide combined with zolpidem. Both groups underwent PSG at baseline and 1 week after medication, and were assessed with the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Arnsworth Insomnia Severity Scale, Antidepressant Side Effects Checklist, and the Drug Dependence Scale neuropsychological assessment at baseline, 1, 2, and 4 weeks after medication. The study aimed to explore the effects of single use of SMAs class antidepressants versus combination with other antidepressants on non-rapid eye movement sleep stage III in patients with depression and insomnia comorbidity, and to compare the effects of depression and insomnia in the two groups.Read full original descriptionShow less
