mianserin and Sleep Wake Disorders

mianserin has been researched along with Sleep Wake Disorders in 13 studies

Mianserin: A tetracyclic compound with antidepressant effects. It may cause drowsiness and hematological problems. Its mechanism of therapeutic action is not well understood, although it apparently blocks alpha-adrenergic, histamine H1, and some types of serotonin receptors.
mianserin : A dibenzoazepine (specifically 1,2,3,4,10,14b-hexahydrodibenzo[c,f]pyrazino[1,2-a]azepine) methyl-substituted on N-2. Closely related to (and now mostly superseded by) the tetracyclic antidepressant mirtazapinean, it is an atypical antidepressant used in the treatment of depression throughout Europe and elsewhere.

Sleep Wake Disorders: Abnormal sleep-wake schedule or pattern associated with the CIRCADIAN RHYTHM which affect the length, timing, and/or rigidity of the sleep-wake cycle relative to the day-night cycle.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of mirtazapine and imipramine on not only the distressing symptoms of cancer patients such as pain, nausea, vomiting, appetite loss, and sleep disturbances but also depressive and anxiety symptoms."5.13Mirtazapine improves sleep and lowers anxiety and depression in cancer patients: superiority over imipramine. ( Akbiyik, DI; Alkis, N; Cankurtaran, ES; Ozalp, E; Soygur, H; Turhan, L, 2008)
"Nineteen patients (12 women and 7 men), with SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction who were in remission from major depressive disorder (total Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression [HAM-D] score < or = 10), were switched to open-label mirtazapine for up to 6 weeks."5.09Mirtazapine substitution in SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction. ( Delgado, P; Gelenberg, AJ; Laukes, C; McGahuey, C; Moreno, F; Okayli, G; Zentner, L, 2000)
"Ninety-two outpatients with depressive disorders which met Research Diagnostic Criteria were treated either with mianserin or placebo in a 6-week controlled trial."5.05Placebo-controlled study of mianserin in depressed outpatients. ( Harrison, W; Markowitz, J; McGrath, PJ; Quitkin, FM; Rabkin, JG; Stewart, JW, 1985)
"Treatment with mirtazapine or placebo had no effect on cognitive and functional status as assessed by the Mini-Mental State Examination and the Katz scale, respectively."2.84Mirtazapine does not improve sleep disorders in Alzheimer's disease: results from a double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study. ( Camargos, EF; Louzada, LL; Naves, JO; Nóbrega, OT; Quintas, JL; Scoralick, FM, 2017)
"Modafinil-treated participants had a milder withdrawal syndrome as measured by the Amphetamine Cessation Symptom Assessment and less sleep disturbance in comparison to mirtazapine."2.73Symptoms and sleep patterns during inpatient treatment of methamphetamine withdrawal: a comparison of mirtazapine and modafinil with treatment as usual. ( McGregor, C; Mitchell, A; Srisurapanont, M; White, JM; Wickes, W, 2008)
"Imipramine was more effective against the clusters related to core symptoms of depression: "depression and guilt", "retardation", and "melancholia", respectively."2.69Depressed in-patients respond differently to imipramine and mirtazapine. ( Bruijn, JA; Moleman, P; Mulder, PG; van den Broek, WW, 1999)
"Mirtazapine (MTZ) is an antidepressant, which is considered to enhance noradrenergic and serotonergic neurotransmission via antagonistic action at central α2-adrenergic autoreceptors and heteroreceptors."1.38Effects of mirtazapine on sleep disturbance under neuropathic pain-like state. ( Enomoto, T; Hirayama, S; Horiuchi, H; Ikegami, D; Inada, E; Iseki, M; Nagase, H; Nakahara, K; Narita, M; Sakai, H; Suzuki, T; Torigoe, K; Yamashita, A; Yanase, M, 2012)
