艾司西酞普兰与氟西汀治疗老年抑郁症的对照研究

目的:探讨艾司西酞普兰对老年抑郁症患者的疗效和安全性。方法:60例符合CCMD-3抑郁发作的老年抑郁症患者随机分为艾司西酞普兰组和氟西汀组,艾司西酞普兰剂量10~20 mg.d-1,氟西汀20~40 mg.d-1,疗效采用汉密尔顿抑郁量表(HAMD)评定,治疗期间进行不良反应量表(TESS)评定,同时在基线、2,6周作血常规、心电图、肝肾功能检查。观察时间为期6周。结果:艾司西酞普兰组显效率和治愈率分别为70.4%和44.5%,氟西汀组为69.2%和42.3%,两组比较差异无显著性。艾司西酞普兰组在1周末HAMD评分与治疗前比较即有明显下降,氟西汀组下降不明显,且两组间差异显著(P<0.05)。艾司西酞普兰组主要不良反应为食欲下降、恶心、头晕各3例次,失眠、口干、心动过速各2例次,便秘、嗜睡各1例次,与氟西汀组无显著差异。结论:艾司西酞普兰治疗老年抑郁症患者显效快,疗效和不良反应与氟西汀相似。
