Akute und therapieresistente Depressionen

Zusammenfassung

Therapieresistenz wird nach wie vor in vielen unterschiedlichen Varianten definiert. Ein fehlender offizieller Konsens über die Definition einer Vielzahl von Details im Zusammenhang mit der Beschreibung der betroffenen Patientengruppe erschwert die Durchführung von aussagekräftigen Studien zur Therapieresistenz wie auch die Interpretation der vorliegenden wissenschaftlichen Befunde. Ziel einer erfolgreichen Akuttherapie sollte die Remission und nicht die Response sein, in der Langzeittherapie dementsprechend die dauerhaft anhaltende Remission. Der Begriff »therapieresistent« sollte dem Begriff »therapierefraktär« vorgezogen werden, letzterer impliziert zu Unrecht das fehlende Ansprechen auf jegliche denkbare Therapiestrategie.

Forschungsschwerpunkte auf dem Gebiet der Therapieresistenz befassen sich mit Fragen der Kodierung und Stadieneinteilung, der Weiterentwicklung von geeigneten Skalen zur Dokumentation der Therapieresistenz und der Definition von geeigneten Outcomekriterien. Weiterhin müssen Definitionen erarbeitet werden, welche Therapieversuche als adäquat hinsichtlich Dauer und Dosis zu werten sind und welche Bedeutung die retrospektive und die prospektive Erhebung von Kriterien der Therapieresistenz des Patienten haben. Methodische Gesichtspunkte beim Entwurf passender Studiendesigns betreffen vor allem die Wahrung wissenschaftlicher Präzision einerseits und die Möglichkeit der Übertragung der Studienergebnisse in die klinische Praxis andererseits.
