Abstract

The study assessed the effectiveness of electrosleep therapy in the treatment of depression, anxiety, and sleep difficulties in a small, heterogenous sample of psychiatric inpatients. A double-blind format was employed, one group receiving active treatment while the other received simulated treatment. The results showed active electrosleep to be no better than placebo in bettering quality of sleep or in lessening symptoms of depression or anxiety.

摘要

该研究评估了电睡眠疗法在治疗一小群异质性精神科住院患者的抑郁症、焦虑症和睡眠困难方面的有效性。采用了双盲形式，一组接受积极治疗，而另一组接受模拟治疗。结果显示，在改善睡眠质量或减轻抑郁或焦虑症状方面，主动电睡眠疗法并不比安慰剂更好。
