Pulsing blue light through closed eyelids: effects on acute melatonin suppression and phase shifting of dim light melatonin onset
Circadian rhythm disturbances parallel the increased prevalence of sleep disorders in older adults. Light therapies that specifically target regulation of the circadian system in principle could be used to treat sleep disorders in this population. Current recommendations for light treatment require the patients to sit in front of a bright light box for at least 1 hour daily, perhaps limiting th...
متن کامل[Possible subtypes of panic disorder].
OBJECTIVE The present study, is aimed to investigate the distributiondispersion of panic attack symptoms, the possible subtypes of panic disorder, and the clinical features related to these subtypes in patients with panic disorder. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study included 105 patients that presented to the Ondokuz Mayıs University Faculty of Medicine Psychiatric Outpatient Clinic and met the D...
متن کاملEvening melatonin and bright light administration induce additive phase shifts in dim light melatonin onset.
In healthy young men, administration of a single light pulse (5000 lux for 3 hr) or a single melatonin pill (5 mg) at 20:40 hr under controlled constant routine conditions of <10 lux, yielded a phase delay and a phase advance, respectively, in the circadian marker of dim light melatonin onset 24 hr later. Phase shifts after combining the two interventions were additive. Melatonin suppression is...
متن کاملSeasonal affective disorder: response to light as measured by electroencephalogram, melatonin suppression, and cerebral blood flow.
This study was designed to test the hypothesis that patients with SAD have significantly different physiological responses to light than healthy age- and sex-matched controls. We studied retinal contrast sensitivity, visual evoked EEG responses, and melatonin suppression by, and cerebral blood flow response to, full-spectrum artificial daylight. There was no significant difference between 10 pa...
