Короткий опис (реферат):
The aim of this study was to evaluate current approaches to the pharmacotherapy of posttraumatic stress disorder. An information search was carried out in the databases PubMed, Ovid, EMBASE by keywords: “posttraumatic stress disorder”, “treatment”, and “medications”. Search depth 2012–2022 years. From the general data (4877 articles) there were selected 14 articles with the highest degree of relevance. A content analysis of selected articles was carried out with the formation of recommendations for the use of pharmacotherapy in posttraumatic stress disorder. Currently, there are no unified approaches to the pharmacotherapy of posttraumatic stress disorder. Antidepressants (SSRI SNRIs) are primarily considered as first-line drugs, but only sertraline, paroxetine, and fluoxetine are approved by the FDA. But these drugs have a fairly wide range of side effects, including suicidal thoughts. The use of benzodiazepines should be limited as they increase the risk of developing posttraumatic stress disorder. Vortioxetine becomes a very promising option. The most significant benefits of vortioxetine are the significant positive effects of vortioxetine on attention, memory, and executive function. There is some evidence for the use of alpha-1 adrenoceptor antagonists and alpha-2 adrenoceptor agonists in therapy. In insomnia the use of prazosin and trazodone is recommended. Pharmacotherapy of posttraumatic stress disorder requires administration of medications with multimodal action. Currently, there are no unified approaches to the pharmacotherapy of posttraumatic stress disorder. Further randomized clinical trials are necessary for developing effective treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder.
