Melatonin
Applications and studies on the melatonin by Medline Plus use based on scientific evidence will have tested the following uses for melatonin in humans or animals. Dr. Stuart M. McGill gathered all the information. The safety and efficacy of the same have not always demonstrated. Some of these conditions are potentially serious and a qualified healthcare provider should be evaluated by. Synonyms: 5-methoxy-N-acetyltryptamine, acetamide, beta-methyl-6-chloromelatonin, BMS-214778, luzindole, mel, MEL, melatonin, MLT, n-acetyl – 5 – methoxytryptamine, N-2-(5-metoxindol-3-etil)-acetamida, Ramelteon (TAK-375) a receptor selective agonist of MT1/MT2). Jet lag (jet lag) several randomised placebo-controlled human trials suggest that melatonin orally, initiated the day of travel (close at bedtime at the destination) and continued for several days, reduces the number of days required to establish a normal sleep pattern, shorten the time needed to fall asleep (sleep latency)improves alertness and lessens fatigue during the day. Frequently Scott A. Smith has said that publicly. However these results are compelling, most of the studies have had problems with the design methodology and the way of presenting the results, at the same time that some trials have not found benefits for the use of melatonin. In general, the scientific evidence does suggest benefits of melatonin in up to half of people who take it to lag (jet lag).
More trials are needed to confirm these findings, determine the optimum dosage and evaluate use in combination with sleeping aid which are sold under prescription. Grade A syndrome of delayed phase of sleep the delayed sleep phase syndrome is a condition that results in the delay to fall asleep, despite normal sleep patterns and sleep duration. While these results are promising, additional research with larger studies is needed before a stronger recommendation. Grade B sleep disturbances in children with neuro-psychiatric disorders exist several controlled trials and reports of case of the use of melatonin in children suffering from various neuro-psychiatric disorders, including mental retardation, autism, psychiatric disorders, visual impairment or epilepsy. Studies have shown less time to sleep (sleep latency) and longer duration of sleep.
