Altered cortisol awakening response in posttraumatic stress disorder.
An altered function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis is assumed to be characteristic for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), although there is inconsistent empirical evidence. Only few studies examined the awakening cortisol response and a daytime profile in PTSD. Salivary cortisol levels were measured at seven intervals from awakening until 8 PM in trauma-exposed subjects with (N=2...
متن کاملSaliva cortisol in posttraumatic stress disorder: a community epidemiologic study.
BACKGROUND Stress activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, so it was expected that posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) would be associated with activation of this axis; however, studies have found both increased and decreased cortisol in PTSD. To address this question, we collected saliva cortisol at home in a subsample of a longitudinal epidemiologic sample. METHODS Six hund...
متن کاملDiurnal salivary cortisol in pediatric posttraumatic stress disorder.
BACKGROUND The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis has been implicated in the pathophysiology of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Additional information on basal cortisol levels in children exposed to trauma and experiencing PTSD symptoms may contribute to the understanding of the role of this axis in PTSD. METHODS Fifty-one children (30 boys and 21 girls, mean age 10.7 years) with...
متن کاملHeart Rate Variability and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.
The psychophysiology of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) points towards autonomic dysregulation—specifically, elevated sympathetic response and attenuated parasympathetic response. In view of this, heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback has been applied and tested as a treatment for PTSD. Review of existing published research suggests that HRV biofeedback seems promising as a treatment fo...
متن کاملO7: The Mechanistic Role of Sleep in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
Around 75% of civilians have experienced at least one traumatic event in their lives, and this number is considerably higher in many parts of the world, as well as in military veterans and first responders. Of those exposed to trauma, 15-25% will develop Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD extracts enormous economic, health, and quality of life cost. Thus, it is critical to underst...
