Repetitive and stereotypic behavioral disturbances in patients with dementia are common; however, little is known regarding successful treatments. The authors describe six cases of elderly cognitively impaired patients exhibiting repetitive and stereotypic behaviors who were treated successfully with buspirone. The cases demonstrate that buspirone may be an effective and safe treatment for patients with dementia who demonstrate repetitive and stereotypic behavior disorders.
痴呆患者中反复出现的刻板行为障碍很常见；然而，关于成功的治疗方法却知之甚少。作者描述了6例认知功能受损的老年患者，他们表现出反复的刻板行为，使用丁螺环酮治疗成功。这些病例表明，丁螺环酮可能是治疗患有反复刻板行为障碍的痴呆患者的一种有效且安全的治疗方法。
