The Effect of Trazodone on the Severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Insomnic Stroke Patients With Depression

April 3, 2020 updated by: CHEN,CHUNG YAO, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital
The investigators hypothesize that trazodone does not worse nocturnal oxygen saturation in insomnic ischemic stroke patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and depression and has beneficial effect in selected stroke patients with low arousal threshold phenotype OSA.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • unclear consciousness, unstable vital sign or neurologic sign, unstable medical conditions such as delirium, active infection, evidence of overt congestive cardiac failure, liver dysfunction with ascites, thyroid disease, end-stage-renal-disease receiving dialysis.
  • overnight mean oxygen saturation (SaO2) nadir is ≤ 70% at baseline
  • take monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI), any medication that may affect breathing, sleep, or muscle activity
  • any known allergy to trazodone
  • sleep disorder other than OSA (e.g., periodic leg movement syndrome, restless legs syndrome, central sleep apnea/Cheyne-Stokes respiration).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
nocturnal oxygen saturation
Time Frame: the polysomnography study night before take drug
mean and minimum oxyhemoglobin saturation (%) detected by pulse oximetry during polysomnography study
the polysomnography study night before take drug
Sleep apnea severity index
Time Frame: the polysomnography study night before take drug
apnea-hypopnea index, desaturation index according to The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) scoring manual version 2.0.3: Obstructive apnea: no airflow >= 10 s with respiratory effort (per hour of time); central apnea: no airflow without respiratory effort (per hour of time). Hypopnea: airflow decrease >30% lasting >= 10 s, followed by either oxygen desaturation > 3% or EEG arousal (per hour of time). The desaturation index: number of desaturations per hour of time.
