1 Evidenced Based Prescribing Practices in Treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in Military Combat Veterans Jess Calohan, DNP, MN, PMHNP BC Lieutenant Colonel, United States Army Program Chair, Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Program Daniel K. Inouye Graduate School of Nursing Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences DISCLOSURES The opinions or assertions contained herein are the solely the views of the author and are not to be construed as official or reflecting the views of the Department of the Army or the Department of Defense. Discussion of use of medications include non FDA or offlabel indications; prescribers are advised to use their own clinical judgment in assessing risks, benefits, adverse effects and treatment alternatives when using medications off label. The speaker has no conflicts of interest to disclose. Learning Objectives Describe prevalence data for PTSD in the military population Examine the neurobiological underpinnings of PTSD Identify evidence based pharmacological interventions for treating PTSD in military combat veterans Identify standardized tools to evaluate outcomes in military combat veterans with PTSD Jess A. Calohan, DNP, MN, PMHNP BC 1
2 Behavioral Health Disorders in the Military Population PTSD 8.5% (Significant Impairment) vs 3.5% in the general US population (18 years or older) Vietnam Vets 19% PTSD 23.2% (Some Impairment) Alcohol or Aggressive Behavior in 50% of cases Thomas, J, et al. (2010). Kessler R., et al. (2005). U.S. Census Bureau Population(2004) PTSD in the Military Population Operational Context (Infantry vs. Support Elements) Overall prevalence 2 6% immediately postdeployment and 11% 3 6 months later Infantry units weighted prevalence rate of 13% Kok, B., Herrell, R., Thomas, J. & Hoge, C. (2012). DSM 5: Trauma & Stress Related Disorders Acute Stress Disorder Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Reactive Attachment Disorders Disinhibited Social Engagement Disorder Adjustment Disorders Other Specified or Unspecified Jess A. Calohan, DNP, MN, PMHNP BC 2
3 DSM 5 Diagnostic Criteria Criterion A: Experienced (directly or indirectly), witnessed or confronted with an event involving actual or threatened death or serious injury, or threat to the physical integrity of self or others. DSM 5 Diagnostic Criteria Criterion B: Re experiencing in one or more of the following: Recurrent and intrusive recollections (repetitive play in children with themes of the trauma) Recurrent dreams (frightening dreams without recognizable content in children) Dissociation : acting or feeling the event were recurring (re enactment in young children) Intense psychological distress at exposure to internal and external cues that resemble even Marked physiological reactions to internal or external cues that symbolize the event DSM 5 Diagnostic Criteria Criterion C: Avoidance as indicated by three or more of the following: Avoids thoughts, feelings, or conversations associated with trauma Avoids activities, places, or people that arouse recollections Criterion D: Inability to recall important aspects of the trauma (dissociative amnesia, not due to an organic cause) Persistent and exaggerated negative beliefs or expectations about the world Persistent, distorted cognitions about the cause or consequences of the lead to blame or guilt Persistent negative emotional state Anhedonia Feelings of detachment Persistent inability to experience positive emotions Jess A. Calohan, DNP, MN, PMHNP BC 3
4 DSM 5 Diagnostic Criteria Criterion E Difficulty falling or staying asleep Irritability or anger outbursts Difficulty concentrating Hypervigilance Exaggerated startle response Reckless or self destructive behavior Criterion F: Duration of B, C, D, E is more than one month Criterion G: Causes significant distress or impairment in functioning Criterion H: Not attributable to effects of substances or another medical condition Response to Trauma Response serves an evolutionary purpose to protect you from a life threatening event: Physiological ( fight or flight ) Cognitive (memories, avoidance) Emotional (fear, anxiety, guilt, shame) These are normal, expected reactions to help you adapt to the situation. However, if these reactions persist and interfere with functioning they are no longer adaptive. Adaptive Recovery Recollections become less intense and frequent, and more precisely cued. Avoidance lessens as individual is re exposed to situations and nothing bad happens. Acute physiological response decreases. Gradual relearning that world is not always such a dangerous place and decrease in guilt and shame. Jess A. Calohan, DNP, MN, PMHNP BC 4
5 Maladaptive Non Recovery Initial reaction persists for more than a few weeks. Individual continues to experience symptoms that are distressing and significantly interfere with functioning. Symptoms get worse rather than better over time. Maladaptive Non Recovery (cont.) Individual has continued and excessive: Re experiencing (flashbacks, nightmares) Avoidance of people, places and thoughts Arousal (e.g. hypervigilance, insomnia, irritability) Feelings of shame and guilt (need to assess for suicide) Emotional Memory Review Limbic System Cingulate gyrus: receives information Hippocampus: short term memory, spatial coding Thalamus: translator, relay station Amygdala: emotional coding of memories Performs high level processing of sensory information Structures involved with Long term potentiation Attaches behavioral significance and response to stimulus Jess A. Calohan, DNP, MN, PMHNP BC 5
6 Stress and HPA Axis Hippocampus, Amygdala & HPA axis involved in stress circuits Normal Stress Response of HPA axis: release of CRF ACTH glucocorticoids negative feedback on CRF stop stress response Resulting neurotransmitter cascade: release of glutamate and norepinephrine fight or flight response GABA attenuates Glutamate and Norepinephrine fight or flight stops Heim C. and Nemeroff, C. (2009). Neurobiological Underpinnings of PTSD Hypothalamic Pituitary Adrenal Axis Negative feedback loop is dysregulated Hypercortisolism (near term) then, Hypocortisolism (chronic) Cortico Releasing Factor over activity in the brain leading to release of norepinephrine from the locus coeruleus Anatomical changes in the brain region that inhibits the HPA axis Neurotransmitters alterations Serotonin Norepinephrine GABA Glutamate Heim C. and Nemeroff, C. (2009). Emerging Neurobiological Theories Physiological processes involved with fear extinction Potential Target: Endocannaboid system and GABA B receptors Other Substances Potential Target: Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), Oxytocin, Substance P Neimeister, A. (2013). Barnardy, N and Friedman, M. (2015) Jess A. Calohan, DNP, MN, PMHNP BC 6
7 Challenges with Pharmacotherapy Heterogeneous symptom presentation Most recent FDA approval was 10 years ago Co morbid disorders Presence of previous trauma (i.e. Adverse Childhood Events) Cost/Formulary vs. nonformulary medications Limited evidence base Provider knowledge with existing evidenced based interventions and clinical practice guidelines Bernardy, N. and Friedman, M. (2015). General Pharmacological Treatment Interventions Medications SSRIs (Prozac, Paxil, Celexa, Zoloft, Lexapro) SNRIs (Effexor, Cymbalta, Pristiq) Mood Stabilizers (Depakote, Lamotrogine, Topiramate) Atypical Antipsychotics (Seroquel, Zyprexa, Risperidone, Abilify) Benzodiazepines (Valium, Ativan, Klonopin, Xanax) Other Sedating Medications (Ambien, Lunesta, Trazodone, Amitriptyline, Nortriptyline) Beta Blockers (Propranolol) Alpha Blockers (Clonidine and Prazosin) Evidence Base: Antidepressants Most RCT studies are industry sponsored, however meta anlayses have confirmed efficacy Focus generally on Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil and Effexor XR Zoloft, Paxil and Effexor XR are only antidepressants FDA approved for PTSD Chronicity of symptoms may influence treatment response TCAs (particularly Desimpramine and Imimpramine) also demonstrate efficacy but are not superior to SSRIs and SNRIs SSRIs and SNRIs are first line treatments SNRIs demonstrate efficacy for aggression and anger Longer treatment trials of medication may be needed Bernardy, N. and Friedman, M. (2015). Watts, B. et al., (2013). Davidson, J. et al., (2001). Friedman, M. (2007). Petrakis, I. et al., (2012) Jess A. Calohan, DNP, MN, PMHNP BC 7
8 Evidence Base: Antipsychotics Mixed results adjunctive antipsychotic treatment with second generation or atypical antipsychotics Atypical antipsychotics used for: Sleep/Sedation Anger/Aggression Psychosis No evidence to support monotherapy use Recommended only for psychotic sx s Krystal, J. et al., (2011). Hermes E. et al., (2013). Maher. A. et ai., (2011). Department of Veteran Affairs. (2010). Evidence Base: Mood Stabilizers Limited evidence to support use Topiramate and SSRIs/SNRIs have same efficacy and some evidence suggests efficacy for comorbid Alcohol Use Disorders Lamotrogine may be helpful in treating refractory depressive sx s Gabapentin may be helpful in managing hyperarousal symptoms Jonas, D. et al., (2013). Batki. S. et al., (2014) Evidence Base: Benzodiazepines DO NOT USE, NO EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT USE Lader, M. (2011) Bernardy, N. and Friedman, J. (2015) Jess A. Calohan, DNP, MN, PMHNP BC 8
9 Potential Pharmacological Interventions Ketamine Guanfacine GABA B Receptors NMDA Endocannaboid agonists Fox, H. et al., (2012) Feder, A. et al., (2014) Bernardy, N. and Friedman, J. (2015) Evidence Base: Hypnotics Small study suggestive that Lunesta may be effective for sleep disturbance related to PTSD Trazodone helpful sedation Pollack, M. et al., (2011) Evidenced Based Treatment for Combat Related Nightmares Jess A. Calohan, DNP, MN, PMHNP BC 9
10 Sleep that knits up the raveled sleeve of care, the death of each day's life, sore labor's bath, balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course, chief nourisher in life's feast. ~William Shakespeare, Macbeth A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book. ~Irish Proverb "Some people talk in their sleep. Lecturers talk while other people sleep. ~Albert Camus Combat Related Nightmares Sleep disturbance is a core symptom of PTSD A foundational component that significantly influences functional impairment Reported by 50 70% of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) combat veterans with PTSD 1 PTSD Avoidance Re experiencing Mood Hyperarousal Sleep disturbance Hypervigilance 1 Lydiard, R. & Hamner, M. (2009). Jess A. Calohan, DNP, MN, PMHNP BC 10
11 Neurobiological Underpinnings of Combat Related Nightmares Amygdala Hippocampus The locus coeruleus shuts down during normal REM sleep no norepinephrine release. In PTSD, locus coeruleus remains active norepinephrine is released during REM sleep, disrupting REM Prazosin Background One of the few lipid soluble alpha 1 antagonist A non sedating generic that has been used for decades to treat hypertension and BPH Decreases/eliminates the effect of norepinephrine during REM sleep Initially found effective for trauma nightmares in Vietnam veterans 1 reports of improved sleep quality and duration marked decrease in frequency intensity of nightmares well tolerated, improvement is dose related discontinuing medications after improvement associated with return of nightmares potential to reduce co morbid alcohol abuse 1 Raskind M. et al., (2003). Evidence of Prazosin Efficacy for Trauma Nightmares and Global Function In Vietnam veterans, a crossover placebo controlled study (n = 10) 1 and a parallel group placebo controlled study (n = 34) 2 positive improvement in sleep duration and quality, reduction in nightmares In civilians, a crossover study (n = 13) positive and sleep duration 90 minutes longer than with placebo 3 1 Raskind M., et al., (2003). 2 Raskind M., et al., (2007). 3 Taylor F. et al., (2008). Jess A. Calohan, DNP, MN, PMHNP BC 11
12 Evidence of Prazosin Efficacy for Trauma Nightmares and Global Function In OIF deployed in a combat zone, a prospective study (n = 13) positive improvement in sleep duration and quality, reduction in nightmares and improved overall level of functioning 1. In OIF/OEF combat veterans, a double blind placebo RCT (n = 56, 29 placebo and 27 prazosin) positive improvement in sleep duration and quality, reduction in nightmares and improved overall level of functioning. Prazosin vs. Quetiapine (N=237, 62 prazosin and 175 quetiapine) similar efficacy, however prazosin is much better tolerated. 1 Calohan, J. et al., (2010). 2 Raskind. M et al., (2013). Byers, M et al., (2010) Prescribing Prazosin Prazosin (Minipress) 1mg 20mg Dose initially at 1mg for two nights to assess for first dose effect. Has been associated with orthostatic hypotension with first dose. Also possibility of reflex tachycardia in the AM upon exertion If pt is tolerates medication and no improvement in nightmares, then increase dose to 2mg HS for four nights. Continue titrating dose upwards by 2mg q 4 days to effect Monitoring: initial orthostatic and ongoing BP monitoring Also can consider low dose during the day (mid AM) 2 6mg to address residual hyperarousal symptoms Outcome Evaluation Tools Clinician Administered Post Traumatic Stress Scale Clinical Global Impression of Change CAPS Sleep Items (B2) Frequency Have you had any problems falling or staying asleep?
