[Physiological status of the body and prediction of the effectiveness of drug therapy of depression. II. Physiological indicators of the reaction to sleep deprivation].
A study of pulse and breath rate, postural muscle tone and mood has been conducted in 30 patients with endogenous depression before and after night's sleep deprivation. Most patients who did respond to antidepressant treatment rated their mood following the sleepless night higher than on the preceding day. After the sleepless night their rate of breathing increased. In a subgroup of poor responders to the applied treatment breathing rhythm after sleepless night did not change and only a few patients found their mood changed following sleep deprivation. Decreased postural muscles tone was noticed in both subgroups of patients. Effects observed in the study may be related to a decreased anxiety level observed in the patients following treatment regimen.
