| مستخلص: | Background Nearly half of Australians between the age of 16 to 84 have suffered from mental illness [1]. Such health conditions can be chronic and require aggressive medication therapy leading to possible adverse drug reactions and further complications. The need for a holistic, lower risk health care approach has paved the way for the emerging, relatively lower risk therapies, such as advanced micronutrient therapy. Micronutrient therapy utilises vitamins and minerals to correct biochemical imbalances thought to be responsible for mental health conditions. Micronutrients have been investigated in over twenty placebo-controlled randomised control trials across a variety of mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism, antisocial aggressive behaviour in prisoners [2]. Pyrrole disorder is an example of a biochemical imbalance that is treated with micronutrient therapy consisting primarily of Vitamin B6 (B6) and Zinc (Zn). A theorised mechanism of the pathophysiology of the disorder is the complexation of hydroxyhaemopyrrolin-2-one (HPL), an elevated marker in the pyrrole patients, with Zn and the active form of B6 leading to a deficiency these two nutrients in the body [3-6]. However, very little research has been done on the condition and the practice follows, mostly, anecdotal evidence. Pyrrole disorder is characterised by a specific cluster of symptoms, signs and traits. Some of the distinctive symptoms reported are little or no recall of dreams, recollection of nightmares only when dreaming, and poor short-term memory (STM) [5, 7]. The relationship between these symptoms, however, has not been clinically investigated. Thus, this pilot study aimed to explore pyrrole disorder and the relationship between the recollection of dreams, remembering nightmares exclusively, STM performance, and the micronutrient, vitamin B6. This study is also the first of its kind in assessing pyrrole disorder in a population of Thesis (Masters) Master of Music Research (MMusRes) School of Medical Science Griffith Health Full Text |
