Effect Of Trazodone On Upper Airway Resistance In Chronic Spinal Cord Injury, Geoffrey M. Ginter, Sean Carroll, Abdulghani Sankari, Safwan Badr Jan 2021

Effect Of Trazodone On Upper Airway Resistance In Chronic Spinal Cord Injury, Geoffrey M. Ginter, Sean Carroll, Abdulghani Sankari, Safwan Badr

Medical Student Research Symposium

Background:

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a known risk factor for sleep-disordered breathing. While device-based therapies such as CPAP are beneficial in these individuals, adherence to these treatments is often low; consequently, pharmacotherapies for sleep-disordered breathing in patients with SCI are in high demand. Trazodone is an atypical antidepressant with a complex mechanism of action, including alpha adrenergic agonist activity and inhibition of serotonin reuptake. Serotonin (5-HT) is a known modulator of respiratory circuitry, which has been shown to influence the ventilatory drive. Trazodone is commonly prescribed as a sleep aid, but its impact on breathing during sleep is still …
