[From Litterature]

Randomized, double blind and placebo-controlled study confirmign the effects of lemon balm on sleep disturbances in post-menopausal women.

Objective: Sleep disturbance is one of the most prevalent problems in post-menopausal females. The current research intended to evaluate the effects of Dracocephalum (called Dracocephalum by the authors (study registration confirms the use of lemon balm) on sleep disorder in post-menopausal females.
Method: The current study is a randomized, double-blind controlled trial, in which 110 post-menopausal women were randomly allocated to Dracocephalum or placebo groups. The intervention group took Dracocephalum capsules containing 250 mg Dracocephalum extract twice daily for one month. While, the placebo group took the same capsule containing 250 mg of starch twice daily for one month. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was completed by the participants of both groups before and after the treatment and the data obtained were analyzed with Chi-square, paired and independent t-test in SPSS (version 20).
Results: The mean score of sleep quality before and after the treatment was 12.69 ± 3.98 and 8.58 ± 1.97 in the treatment group, respectively. Also, the score of sleep quality in the placebo group was 13.48 ± 2.60 and 11.21 ± 2.74 at the beginning and end of the research, respectively. The symptoms of sleep disorder in the intervention group significantly improved after the treatment (P max 0.001), while this was not the case with the placebo group (P = 0.155). Besides, there was a significant difference between the two groups in the mean score of sleep quality after the treatment (P = 0.012).
Conclusion: Dracocephalum extracts are effective in reducing symptoms of sleep disorders in post-menopausal women.
Dracocephalum extract is an effective treatment for enhancing the quality of sleep in post-menopausal females as well as for decreasing symptoms of sleep disturbances. This study showed that sleep quality increased after the consumption of 250 mg of Dracocephalum extract for one month. Therefore, the use of complementary herbal medicines can reduce sleep disorders in post-menopausal women. Future research should focus more on the use of Dracocephalum in different populations as an adjunctive treatment alongside common standard care.
