30 depressed patients were submitted to repeated sessions of sleep deprivation. The results obtained in a previous study were confirmed: after 36 hours of wakefulness there is an important overall improvement, albeit followed by a partial or total relapse the second day after. There are no counter-indications, even for elderly subjects with psycho-organic symptoms.
30名抑郁症患者接受了多次睡眠剥夺治疗。先前一项研究所得出的结果得到了证实:在36小时的清醒状态后,整体状况有显著改善,尽管在第二天会出现部分或完全复发。即便对于伴有精神器质性症状的老年患者,也不存在禁忌情况。
