Insomnia pharmacologic therapy

Morin CM, Colecchi C, Stone J, Sood, R, Brink, D. Behavioral and pharmacological therapies for late-life insomnia. JAMA 1999 28 991-999. [Pg.483]

Even if pharmacological therapy is considered for pediatric insomnia, the importance of sleep hygiene education is critical in any discussion and should be considered paramount in treating children with sleep problems. Behavioral approaches to bedtime struggles and night waking in children have been systematically studied and are the foundation of treatment [18, 19]. Detailed descriptions of behavioral approaches for pediatric insomnia are available [1, 18, 19]. [Pg.136]

Indeed, a pharmacological approach is the first line treatment in transient insomnia. Meanwhile, a behavioral or non-pharmacological approach is the recommended therapy for chronic insomnia, together with intermittent aid of pharmacological treatment [3]. [Pg.64]

When insomnia is not caused by, or fails to respond to treatment for, another medical or psychiatric condition in dementia, pharmacological treatment with sedating agents may be considered as symptomatic therapy. Controversies regarding the use of sedating medications in demented patients revolve around issues of efficacy and issues of potential toxicity, neither of which have been resolved by appropriately comprehensive empirical study. There is evidence, however, that sedative-hypnotics as a class may be inappropriately prescribed or overprescribed for demented patients. [Pg.178]

SAD can present in children of preschool to elementary school age. If the disorder is not treated, it can persist into adulthood and increase the risk of depression and substance abuse. CBT and social skills training are effective nonpharmacological therapies in children. Pharmacological evidence is limited to case studies or open-label trials. SSRIs are considered first-line therapy because of tolerability and effectiveness. Fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, sertraline, and paroxetine were effective in children with SAD. Headache, nausea, drowsiness, insomnia, jitteriness, and stomach aches were reported in children receiving SSRIs. [Pg.1300]
