Abstract:
Objective To explore the efficacy of memantine-assisted deep brain stimulation in adolescents with refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder and its effect on serum neurofactors and inflammatory cytokines.Methods A total of 115 adolescents with refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder were randomly divided into the control group(n = 57)and the study group(n = 58).The control group was treated with sertraline combined with deep brain stimulation for 3 months,while the study group was treated with memantine combined with deep brain stimulation for 3 months.The efficacy,adverse reactions,serum neurofactors(including 5-hydroxytryptamine[5-HT],brain-de-rived neurotrophic factor[BDNF],and glial neurotrophic factor[GDNF]),inflammatory cytokines(including tumor necrosis factor-α[TNF-α],interleukin[IL]-2,and IL-6),mental state,psychosocial functioning,and quality of life before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group(96.55%and 84.21%,P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,the serum 5-HT and BDNF levels at 1-and 3-month post-treatment were signifi-cantly higher in the study group,while the levels of serum GDNF,TNF-α,IL-2,and IL-6 were significantly lower(P＜0.05).The scores of Hamilton Anxiety Scale and Hamilton Depression Scale were significantly lower and the scores of Chinese Version of the Personal and Social Performance Scale,and TDL Quality of Life Assessment Scale were significantly higher in the study group than in the control group(P＜0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups were similar(P＞0.05).Conclusion Our results support the efficacy of memantine-assisted deep brain stimulation for refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder in adolescents.In particular,the treatment can regulate neurofactor and inflammatory cytokine levels,relieve anxiety and depression,improved psychosocial function and quality of life,and is safe.
