摘要
An open pilot study was carried out to assess the effectiveness of pimozide as the sole maintenance therapy for chronic institutionalized schizophrenics who were withdrawn and apathetic. A total of 13 patients entered the study and, following withdrawal of all other neuroleptics for 1 month, patients then received pimozide in a dosage increased gradually from 8 mg to 20 mg per day. Patients were assessed using the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) and the St. Wulston's Ward Behaviour Scale. There was a trend towards improvement when patients were assessed by both rating scales. This was only statistically significant between the pre-pimozide measurement and the 4 and 6-month's assessment on the BPRS. Other differences, including a slight reduction in side-effects, were not statistically significant. © 1979 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
