abstract = {Serotonergic dysfunction, including reduced central
serotonin levels, is associated with different psychiatric
syndromes, including depression. As a serotonin precursor,
5-hydroxytryptophan has long been used as a
nonpharmacological treatment for depression.A systematic
review and meta-analysis was conducted to determine the
antidepressant effects of 5-hydroxytryptophan in depressed
patients.MEDLINE (via PubMed) and Google Scholar were
searched from inception to May 2018.Thirteen investigations
were included in the systematic review (using PRISMA
guidelines), and 7 in the full meta-analysis (pre-registered
on PROSPERO: CRD42018104415).Analyses revealed a depression
remission rate of 0.65 $(95\%$ confidence interval [CI],
0.55-0.78; remission rate [k] = 13), and this was
confirmed by the questionnaire results, which revealed a
large Hedges' g (1.11; $95\%CI,$ 0.53-1.69). Methodological
variability (in treatment duration, type of depression
studied, experimental design, 5-hydroxytryptophan dosage)
contributes to heterogeneity in the results
$(I2 = 76\%,$ τ2 = 0.379). In addition, the OHAT
(Office of Health Assessment and Translation risk of bias
rating) tool suggested that, on the whole, current studies
are relatively weak (few include placebo groups).Further
trials should overcome these limitations by using
placebo-controlled studies that include patients with
well-defined depression diagnoses, along with strong
characterization of psychological and physiological patient
characteristics.},
