目的：抑郁症患者可能会改变体温调节，如夜间核心温度高，白天出汗减少和夜间出汗的主观投诉。我们试图比较抑郁症患者和非抑郁症对照组的夜间出汗情况，并评估REM睡眠对出汗率的影响。方法：在9名对照组和8名抑郁症受试者的夜间测量夜间出汗率、夜间温度和REM睡眠; 7名抑郁症患者在恢复期间进行评估。抑郁症患者的夜间体温显著高于对照组，并随恢复而显著降低。抑郁症患者的夜间出汗率与对照组无显著差异，但随着恢复而显著下降。分析出汗率前，期间和REM睡眠后表明，整个样本的趋势，显示在REM出汗率下降。结论：夜间出汗率在抑郁症患者的建议，受损的出汗是不是抑郁症患者常见的夜间温度高的原因。
Objective: Patients with depression may have altered thermoregulation, such as high nocturnal core temperatures, decreased daytime sweating and subjective complaints of nocturnal sweating. We sought to compare nocturnal sweating in depressed patients and non-depressed controls, and to assess the impact of REM sleep on sweat rates.Method: Nocturnal sweat rate, nocturnal temperature and REM sleep were measured during the night in 9 controls and 8 depressed subjects; 7 depressed patients were assessed during recovery.Results: The nocturnal temperature was significantly higher in depressed patients compared to controls, and decreased significantly with recovery. The nocturnal sweat rates of depressed patients did not differ significantly from those of controls, but decreased significantly with recovery. Analyses of sweat rates before, during and after REM sleep indicated a trend for the entire sample to show a decrease in sweat rates during REM.Conclusion: The nocturnal sweating rates in the depressed patients suggest that impaired sweating is not the cause of the high nocturnal temperature commonly found in depressed patients.
