Post-stroke depression (PSD) is common after ischemic stroke, particularly with left-hemisphere lesions. A new selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), fluvoxamine maleate, effectively treated PSD without impacting cerebral blood flow.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychiatry
  • Clinical Medicine

Context:

  • Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a frequent complication following ischemic stroke.
  • Assessing the prevalence and contributing factors of PSD is crucial for patient outcomes.
  • Understanding the impact of lesion location on PSD is an area of ongoing research.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the frequency of PSD in an ischemic stroke cohort.
  • To investigate the relationship between depression scores and infarct characteristics (size, number, location).
  • To assess the efficacy of fluvoxamine maleate on PSD and cerebral blood flow (CBF).

Summary:

  • 46% of patients scored >40 on the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), with 13% scoring >50.
  • No correlation was found between SDS scores and infarct size, number, or location, but left-hemisphere lesions were associated with higher SDS scores.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Fluvoxamine maleate improved Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) scores significantly but did not affect mean cortical CBF.

    • Impact:

    • This study highlights the high incidence of PSD and the significant association with left-hemisphere ischemic lesions.
    • It underscores the importance of psychiatric evaluation for post-stroke patients.
    • Fluvoxamine maleate demonstrates effectiveness in treating PSD, suggesting a potential therapeutic option.
