5-Methoxypsoralen (5 MOP) administered daily (40 mg at 9 p.m.) was compared with placebo in the treatment of severe depression. The clinical response was evaluated using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale after 1 week of treatment. Our preliminary data indicate that patients receiving 5 MOP improved significantly after 1 week, whereas patients treated with placebo did not. The stimulating effect of 5 MOP on the melatonin secretion may be involved in this clinical effect.
将每日(晚上9点服用40毫克)服用的5-甲氧基补骨脂素(5-MOP)与安慰剂进行对比,用于治疗重度抑郁症。治疗1周后,使用汉密尔顿抑郁量表评估临床反应。我们的初步数据表明,接受5-MOP治疗的患者在1周后有显著改善,而接受安慰剂治疗的患者则没有。5-MOP对褪黑素分泌的刺激作用可能与这种临床效果有关。
