We evaluated Barnes Akathisia Rating Scale (BARS) and standardized lower limb actometry in quantifying neuroleptic-induced akathisia (NIA) in 99 schizophrenia patients. Both instruments discriminated well between NIA and non-NIA patients and they correlated weakly but significantly. BARS was superior to actometry in screening DSM-IV diagnosed NIA patients. The results of this methodological study provide BARS with objective validation through movement measuring, that it has been suggested to need.
我们评估了巴恩斯静坐不能评定量表(BARS)和标准化下肢活动测量法在量化99例精神分裂症患者中抗精神病药物所致静坐不能(NIA)方面的作用。两种工具在区分NIA患者和非NIA患者方面表现良好,且二者存在微弱但显著的相关性。在筛查DSM-IV诊断的NIA患者方面,BARS优于活动测量法。这项方法学研究的结果通过运动测量为BARS提供了客观验证,而此前有人认为它需要这种验证。
