modafinil and Behavior Disorders

modafinil has been researched along with Behavior Disorders in 7 studies

Modafinil: A benzhydryl acetamide compound, central nervous system stimulant, and CYP3A4 inducing agent that is used in the treatment of NARCOLEPSY and SLEEP WAKE DISORDERS.
modafinil : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of armodafinil and (S)-modafinil. A central nervous system stimulant, it is used for the treatment of sleeping disorders such as narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnoea, and shift-work sleep disorder. The optical enantiomers of modafinil have similar pharmacological actions in animals.
2-[(diphenylmethyl)sulfinyl]acetamide : A sulfoxide that is dimethylsulfoxide in which two hydrogens attached to one of the methyl groups are replaced by phenyl groups, while one hydrogen attached to the other methyl group is replaced by a carbamoyl (aminocarbonyl) group.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"For more than two decades psychiatrists have known about and have promoted modafinil, a very promising stimulant that boosts wakefulness in cases of narcolepsy and also enhances cognitive functions."4.86[Modafinil in psychiatric disorders: the promising state reconsidered]. ( Docx, L; Dom, G; Joos, L; Sabbe, BG; Schmaal, L, 2010)
"Modafinil has a number of neurochemical actions in the brain, which may be related to primary effects on catecholaminergic systems."2.44Modafinil: a review of neurochemical actions and effects on cognition. ( Carter, CS; Minzenberg, MJ, 2008)
"Respondents who had reported a psychiatric diagnosis declared higher subjective benefits of modafinil."1.56The off-prescription use of modafinil: An online survey of perceived risks and benefits. ( Rycroft, N; Smith-Spark, JH; Teodorini, RD, 2020)

Postanesthesia Quality Recovery Scale Score

Postanesthesia quality recovery scale (PQRS). Component and aggregate scoring on the scale. Measures physiology, nociceptive, emotional activities of daily living cognitive and overall patient perspective. The scale is dimensionless and the aggregate of all individually tested dimensions is scaled from 17-65. A higher value implies improved postanesthesia recovery. Mean difference was assessed in each patient and aggregated thus patients with no difference between pre- and post-operative scores were zeroed (received a zero score if the difference was zero). A negative value was associated with worse outcome. (NCT02494102)
Timeframe: baseline and 6 hours after surgery
