Efficacy and acceptability of psychotherapeutic and pharmacological interventions for trauma-related nightmares: A systematic review and network meta-analysis
2022, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral ReviewsCitation Excerpt :In 2010, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) recommended one cognitive behavioral intervention, image rehearsal therapy (IRT) and one pharmacological agent, prazosin, as level A treatments for TRN (Aurora et al., 2010); however, in 2018 the AASM downgraded its recommendation regarding the use prazosin (Morgenthaler et al., 2018) based on a single trial (Raskind et al., 2018). We believe that changing the recommendation level for an intervention should be based on the meta-analytic findings of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) which are the highest level of evidence-based methods (Zhang et al., 2020a), rather than the findings of a single trial. Importantly, recent meta-analyses of RCTs have been published, which still support prazosin as an A level treatment for TRN (Yücel et al., 2020; Zhang et al., 2020b).
Green synthesis, characterization of procyanidin-mediated gold nanoparticles and its application in fluorescence detection of prazosin
2022, Microchemical JournalCitation Excerpt :Based on FRET, OPC-AuNPs acted as an excellent quencher for the commonly used Rhodamine B, realizing a sensitive and accurate fluorescence detection of prazosin. Prazosin, (1 - (4-amino-6,7-dimethoxy-2-quinazolinyl-4 - (2-furyl carbonyl)) piperazine), a kind of α-epinephrine blockers, is widely used for the treatment of hypertension, post-traumatic stress disorder, hyperarousal, nightmares, and Alzheimer's disease, etc. [28–31]. Especially in the treatment of orthostatic hypotension, prazosin exhibits a significant effect [32].
