Risperidone is a widely used agent as first-line treatment in schizophrenia with a favorable side-effect profile. However, a number of case reports have suggested an increase in obsessive-compulsive symptoms in patients treated with risperidone.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of risperidone on obsessive-compulsive symptoms in the treatment of schizophrenia.
Forty patients with DSM-IV diagnosis of schizophrenia were included in the study. The Yale-Brown obsessive compulsive scale was administered before, at the end of first and second months of treatment. Paired-samples t-test was used to compare the three assessments.
There was not an increase, but a significant decrease, in YBOCS scores over time during risperidone treatment (p<0.05).
In the present study risperidone caused a significant decrease in obsessive-compulsive symptoms in the treatment of schizophrenia.
利培酮是一种广泛用作精神分裂症一线治疗的药物,具有良好的副作用特征。然而,一些病例报告表明,接受利培酮治疗的患者强迫症状有所增加。
本研究旨在探讨利培酮在治疗精神分裂症时对强迫症状的影响。
本研究纳入了40例符合DSM-IV精神分裂症诊断标准的患者。在治疗的第一个月和第二个月末及治疗前使用耶鲁-布朗强迫量表进行评估。采用配对样本t检验对三次评估结果进行比较。
在利培酮治疗期间,YBOCS评分随时间推移没有增加,反而显著下降(p<0.05)。
在本研究中,利培酮在治疗精神分裂症时可使强迫症状显著减轻。
