Treatments to post-stroke depression, which is more effective to HAMD improvement? A network meta-analysis
Discussion: The combination of antidepressants with adjuvant therapy may enhance the efficacy of antidepressants and achieve better results than antidepressant monotherapy in both Hamilton depression scale changes at the end of week 4 or 8 and 50% Hamilton depression scale improvement rate. Acupuncture combined with fluoxetine treatment was more effective in the treatment of post-stroke depression at week 4, while rTMS combined with paroxetine was more effective at week 8. Further research is needed to determine whether acupuncture combined with fluoxetine is better than rTMS combined with paroxetine for post-stroke depression at week 8.

Use of antidepressants in unipolar depression in the elderly
CONCLUSIONS: Unipolar major depressive episodes in the elderly are frequent and their medicinal treatment has specific features. Knowing the specificities of antidepressant use in the elderly allows to optimize its efficiency and to limit the risk of inappropriate prescription leading to harmful adverse effects.PMID:35153054 | DOI:10.1016/j.encep.2021.11.006

Considerations and Current Trends in the Management of the Geriatric Patient on a Consultation –Liaison Service
AbstractPurpose of ReviewTo provide consultation –liaison psychiatrists with an updated resource that can assist in the treatment and management of geriatric patients.Recent FindingsThe current available literature has not shown any differences in efficacy between haloperidol and second-generation antipsychotics in patients with delirium. When considering relative advantages of forms of antipsychotic administration, there is no support for a superior safety profile of oral compared to intramuscular or intravenous administration. A recent meta-analysis of four randomized controlled trials concluded that when melatonin was...

Effectiveness of Paroxetine for Poststroke Depression: A Meta-Analysis
Objective: The purpose of our study is to evaluate the efficacy of paroxetine in poststroke depression (PSD) patients by conducting a meta-analysis. Methods: We searched Web of Science (science and social science citation index), PubMed, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Embase up to August 2019. Randomized controlled trials that paroxetine compared to other antidepressants or control treatments as monotherapy for patients with PSD. Results: This review identified a total of 4 studies including 212 patients.

Treatment of Post-Stroke Depression
We present the reader with the most recent evidence to support pharmacological, psychosocial, and neuromodulation interventions in PSD. We also discuss the relevance of using antidepressants and psychotherapy to prevent PSD and discuss evidence that antidepressant treatment may reduce mortality after stroke.Recent findingsNeuroinflammation and decrease neurogenesis and plasticity may play an important role in the mechanism of PSD. The strongest predictors of PSD are stroke severity, early physical disability, and severity of loss of functioning. Nevertheless, populations at risk for PSD are yet to be identified. Recent met...

Harnessing the Four Elements for Mental Health
DiscussionAs detailed above, the “elements” in both a classical and a contemporary sense have effects on our mental health and are potentially modifiable aspects that can be harnessed as therapeutic interventions. The most robust interventional evidence currently available shows tentative support for several use of the elements via horticultural and nature-exposure therapy, green exercise/physical activity, sauna and heat therapy, balneotherapy, and breathing exercises. It should be noted that, in many cases, these interventions were not studied in definitive diagnosed psychiatric disorders and thus it is pre...

Role of TREK-1 in Health and Disease, Focus on the Central Nervous System
Conclusion and Perspectives Since their cloning 20 years ago, the physiological importance of TREK-1 channels has continued to grow (Figure 3). Today, TREK-1 channels have been shown to be important and their presence is essential in a number of physiopathological processes. Their involvement in these different processes demonstrate the necessity to design pharmacological modulators, activators or inhibitors, of these channels to correct any TREK-1-related dysfunctions. Despites a number of studies and many molecule screenings, only few putative new drugs were identified. The activators belonging to the ML and BL series ...

The Synergistic Combination of Everolimus and Paroxetine Exerts Post-ischemic Neuroprotection In Vitro.
Abstract Ischemic stroke is a debilitating multi-factorial cerebrovascular disorder, representing an area of tremendous unmet medical need. Combination treatment has been proposed as a promising therapeutic approach towards combating ischemic stroke. The present study employs in vitro oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) model to evaluate the post-ischemic neuroprotective efficacy of Everolimus and Paroxetine, alone and in combination. Post-OGD treatment with Everolimus and Paroxetine, alone or in combination, significantly improved the cell survival (~ 80%) when compared to the cells subjected to ischemic injury al...

Effectiveness of paroxetine in the treatment of poststroke depression
This study retrospectively investigated the effectiveness of paroxetine for the treatment of poststroke depression (PSD). Seventy patient cases with PSD were included in this study, and were assigned to an intervention group and a control group equally. All patients received routine treatment in both groups. Additionally, patients in the intervention group underwent paroxetine, while patients in the control group received psychotherapy for a total of 8 weeks intervention. The primary outcomes included depression, measured by Hamilton depression rating scale (HAMD); and anxiety, measured by Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (H...

Efficacy and tolerability of pharmacotherapy for post-stroke depression: a network meta-analysis.
Conclusions: Paroxetine is probably the best option to consider for patients with PSD. To get a quicker relief of depression, duloxetine might be useful for its rapid onset of antidepressant action. The tolerability was comparable among all the antidepressants. But more high-quality RCTs are needed. PMID: 29805769 [PubMed]

Efficacy, acceptability, and tolerability of antidepressant treatments for patients with post-stroke depression: a network meta-analysis.
Authors: Qin B, Chen H, Gao W, Zhao LB, Zhao MJ, Qin HX, Chen W, Chen L, Yang MX Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy, acceptability, and tolerability of antidepressants in treating post-stroke depression (PSD) by performing a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of the current literature. Eligible studies were retrieved from online databases, and relevant data were extracted. The primary outcome was efficacy as measured by the mean change in overall depressive symptoms. Secondary outcomes included discontinued treatment for any reason and specifically due to adverse event...

Modafinil for the Improvement of Patient Outcomes Following Traumatic Brain Injury
Conclusion. Modafinil is a central nervous system stimulant with well-established effectiveness in the treatment of narcolepsy and shift-work sleep disorder. There is conflicting evidence about the benefits of modafinil in the treatment of fatigue and EDS secondary to TBI. One randomized, controlled study states that modafinil does not significantly improve patient wakefulness, while another concludes that modafinil corrects EDS but not fatigue. An observational study provides evidence that modafinil increases alertness in fatigued patients with past medical history of brainstem diencephalic stroke or multiple sclerosis. ...

Current Treatment Options: Headache Related to Menopause —Diagnosis and Management
AbstractPurpose of reviewMenopause is a life-changing event in numerous ways. Many women with migraine hold hope that the transition to the climacteric state will coincide with a cessation or improvement of migraine. This assumption is based mainly on common lay perceptions as well as assertions from many in the healthcare community. Unfortunately, evidence suggests this is far from the rule. Many women turn to a general practitioner or a headache specialist for prognosis and management. A natural instinct is to manipulate the offending agent, but in some cases, this approach backfires, or the concern for adverse events ou...
