Nocturnal panic and recent life events

Abstract: Recent research has hypothesized an association between traumatic events and nocturnal panic (NP). The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the onset of nocturnal panic attacks is associated with a higher frequency of and/or greater severity of stressful or traumatic life events than that of patients with panic disorders (PDs) who experience daytime panic attacks (DPs) while awake. A secondary aim was to investigate whether NP is associated with specific life events at the onset of the disorder. Ou… Show more

“…25 However, in contrast to the findings in this study, sociodemographic characteristics did not differ between patients with and without NP attacks in these studies. 4,6,11,24,25 The reason for this discrepancy is unknown. However, in most previous studies, the definition of NP was primarily made based on the answer to a one-item screening questionnaire such as "Have you ever been woken from your sleep by a panic attack?"…”

“…1 However, some patients who fulfi ll the clinical criteria for PD experience panic attacks mainly during the nocturnal sleep period. [2][3][4] These nighttime attacks occur without any obvious triggers during periods of sleep-wake transition and are referred to as nocturnal panic (NP) attacks. 5 In general, 18% to 45% of PD patients experience both DP and NP attacks (DP/NP).…”

“…Aunque la investigación al respecto es aún escasa, algunos estudios han apuntado la posibilidad de que el estrés psicosocial pueda estar implicado en la gravedad y/o curso del trastorno de pánico (Albert et al, 2005;Friedman et al, 2002;Manfro et al, 1996). Los resultados del presente estudio son inconsistentes con la hipó-tesis de que el estrés psicosocial pueda estar relacionado con la gravedad del TP.…”

“…No obstante, en línea con nuestros datos cabría afirmar que la evidencia en la literatura sobre esta cuestión es poco conclusiva y no justifica afirmar que el estrés psicosocial sea vin buen predictor de la gravedad del TP. Por ejemplo, aunque Friedman et al (2002) constataron cierta conexión entre el estrés traumático (historia de abuso físico o social) y la gravedad clínica en pacientes con TP, los estudios basados en estrés reciente proporcionan escaso (Manfro et al, 1996) o nulo (Albert et al, 2005) apoyo a esta hipótesis. Nuestros resultados basados en estrés reciente «percibido» tampoco apoyan tal hipótesis.…”
