BACKGROUND: Treatments for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) have greatly improved over time. However, some patients do not respond to current interventions and many are left with residual symptoms even if they are 'responders'. There is increasing evidence that individuals with OCD frequently report delayed bedtimes and are at elevated risk for Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder (DSPD). Therefore, it is logical to ask whether interventions addressing disruptions in sleep timing and circadian rhythms would lead to reductions in OCD symptoms. A prior study from our group showed that behaviorally shifting sleep timing resulted in significant symptom reduction in a treatment resistant OCD patient.
OBJECTIVES: Extending prior findings, this manuscript presents quantitative data from case studies which tested the use of a pharmacological intervention that targets melatonin receptors. Specifically, the case studies reviewed herein utilized the melatonin analog and melatonergic MT1 and MT2 receptor agonist, Agomelatine.
METHODS: A literature review revealed 10 cases which have used Agomelatine for OCD.
RESULTS: Seven of the cases were reported to have sleep and/or circadian disruptions prior to treatment. These cases OCD symptom reductions between 46%-90%. In contrast, three additional cases without pre-treatment sleep and/or circadian disruptions did not respond to the intervention.
DISCUSSION: There is growing evidence that disruptions in sleep and circadian rhythms may contribute to the maintenance of OCD. Further work is warranted.
