Abstract:
AIM: To analyze the efficacy of cytoflavin in the complex treatment of sleep disorders in asthenic syndrome.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: One hundred patients with sleep disorders and asthenic syndrome of various etiology and severity were studied. The patients were divided into three groups depending on the type of therapy: the first group received intravenous infusions of cytoflavin for 10 days; the second group, in addition to cytoflavin, received per os melatonin (3 mg or 5 mg) at bedtime; the third group in addition to cytoflavin received per os zopiclone (7.5 mg) at bedtime.
RESULTS: On the 14th day of the study, a decrease in severity or complete relief of asthenia manifestations (according to the SHAS scale) and, accordingly, improvement or normalization of sleep in 97% of patients was found. At the same time, during polysomnographic study, the data obtained are characteristic for improving the quality of sleep phases mainly in the first and second groups of patients and, to a lesser extent, in the third group.
CONCLUSION: Cytoflavin effectively suppresses the main manifestations of asthenic syndrome, including sleep disorders.
