To evaluate the effects of light therapy on the alleviation of sleep disturbances, agitation and depression in people with dementia.
A search was performed in PubMed, Medline, SCOPUS, Web of Science, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, for studies published between 2000 and 2021.
A total of 4315 articles were screened. Sixteen articles were eligible for this review and 11 randomized controlled studies were included in the meta-analysis. Light therapy had a significant effect on reducing the number of awakenings in sleep ( = 4; 95% CI = -.56, -.05; I = 0%; SMD = -.31) but was not significant in reducing the wake after sleep onset ( = 3; 95% CI = -.14, .59; I = 0%; SMD = .23), agitation ( = 4; 95% CI = -1.02, .45; I = 87%; SMD = -.28) and depression ( = 6; 95% CI = -.80, .40, I = 85%; SMD = -.20).
Light therapy appeared to be more effective in terms of alleviating sleep disturbances, rather than reducing agitation and depression, but its long-term effects remain unclear.
评估光照疗法对缓解痴呆患者睡眠障碍、激越和抑郁的效果。
在 PubMed、Medline、SCOPUS、Web of Science、EMBASE、CINAHL、Cochrane 图书馆中进行了检索,检索时间为 2000 年至 2021 年。
共筛选出 4315 篇文章。16 篇文章符合纳入标准,11 项随机对照研究被纳入荟萃分析。光照疗法对减少睡眠中的觉醒次数有显著效果( = 4;95%CI = -.56,-.05;I = 0%;SMD = -.31),但对减少睡眠起始后的觉醒( = 3;95%CI = -.14,.59;I = 0%;SMD =.23)、激越( = 4;95%CI = -1.02,.45;I = 87%;SMD = -.28)和抑郁( = 6;95%CI = -.80,.40,I = 85%;SMD = -.20)没有显著效果。
光照疗法在缓解睡眠障碍方面似乎更有效,而在减轻激越和抑郁方面则效果不明显,但长期效果尚不清楚。
