International review of psychiatry (Abingdon, England) April 1, 2014 Michael R Nadorff, Karen K Lambdin, Anne Germain
Nightmare disorder is clinically significant and linked to post-traumatic stress disorder, other psychiatric conditions, and suicidality. Imagery rehearsal therapy and prazosin are leading treatments. The paper proposes using these treatments as first-line interventions for PTSD and as adjunctive therapy to reduce suicide risk in individuals with nightmares.
