■主要目的是比较口服褪黑素的催眠功效,口服L-茶氨酸,和安慰剂通过雅典失眠量表(AIS)改善癌症失眠患者的睡眠。次要目的是了解癌症患者失眠的患病率。
■预期,双盲,安慰剂对照研究在获得机构伦理委员会批准后进行.120名患者被随机分配到A组(褪黑激素),B组(L-茶氨酸),或C组(安慰剂)。他们被指示连续14天服用药片,睡前两小时(小时),并在第一天用AIS评估,第七天,第14天
■有7名辍学者:A组2名,B组两个,在C组中有3个。发现对褪黑激素治疗的支持存在显着差异。与L-茶氨酸相比,癌症患者的褪黑激素摄入量在失眠方面有统计学上的显着改善。与安慰剂相比,L-茶氨酸在失眠方面具有统计学上的显着改善。A组第一天的平均值±标准偏差AIS为14.82±1.29;第七天为10.92±1.12;第14天为5.00±0.70。同样,B组,平均值±标准差AIS为15.39±1.03、13.05±1.06和9.55±1.01,在C组中,1日平均AIS为14.92±1.40,14.54±1.35,13.05±1.61,第七天和第十天,分别。睡眠从1天到7天有所改善,7天到14天,各组1天至14天(P<0.005)。
■在患有失眠的癌症患者中,口服褪黑素3mg的催眠功效优于口服L-茶氨酸200mg。此外,与安慰剂相比,L-茶氨酸具有更好的催眠功效。
UNASSIGNED: The primary objective was to compare the hypnotic efficacy of oral melatonin, oral L-theanine, and placebo in improving sleep in cancer patients with insomnia by the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS). The secondary objective was to know the prevalence of insomnia in patients with cancer.
UNASSIGNED: A prospective, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study was conducted after obtaining Institutional Ethics Committee approval. One hundred and twenty patients were randomly assigned to either Group A (melatonin), Group B (L-theanine), or Group C (placebo). They were instructed to take the tablets for 14 consecutive days, two h (hours) before bedtime, and evaluated with AIS on the 1st day, 7th day, and 14th day.
UNASSIGNED: There were seven dropouts: Two in Group A, two in Group B, and three in Group C. Significant differences in favour of melatonin treatment were found. There were statistically significant improvements in insomnia in cancer patients on melatonin intake compared to L-theanine. L-theanine had statistically significant improvements in insomnia in comparison to placebo. The mean ± standard deviation AIS on day one in Group A was 14.82 ± 1.29; on day seven was 10.92 ± 1.12; and on day 14 was 5.00 ± 0.70. Similarly, in Group B, the mean ± standard deviation AIS was 15.39 ± 1.03, 13.05 ± 1.06, and 9.55 ± 1.01, and in Group C, the mean AIS was 14.92 ± 1.40, 14.54 ± 1.35 and 13.05 ± 1.61 on the 1st, 7th and 10th day, respectively. There was an improvement in sleep from 1 to 7 days, 7 days to 14 days, and 1 day to 14 days in all the groups (P < 0.005).
UNASSIGNED: The hypnotic efficacy of oral melatonin 3 mg was better than oral L-theanine 200 mg in cancer patients having insomnia. Furthermore, L-theanine had a better hypnotic efficacy when compared to a placebo.
