Only one controlled trial is known that employed aripiprazole for patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD). This 8-week trial found significant changes on most scales of the symptom checklist (SCL-90-R), Hamilton depression rating scale (HDRS), Hamilton anxiety rating scale (HARS), and on all scales of the state-trait anger expression inventory (STAXI). OBJECTIVES, MATERIALS, AND METHODS: To assess the long-term effectiveness of aripiprazole with multifaceted borderline symptomatology, this 18-month follow-up observation with biannual testing was carried out with the same patients from the previous trial (treated with 15-mg aripiprazole daily, n = 26, 21 female and 5 male patients; previous placebo group, n = 26, 22 female and 4 male patients).
According to the intent-to-treat principle, significant changes on all scales of the SCL-90-R, HDRS, HARS, and STAXI were observed in the aripiprazole-treated subjects after 18 months.
Aripiprazole appears to be an effective and relatively safe agent in the long-term treatment of patients with BPD.
已知仅有一项对照试验对边缘型人格障碍(BPD)患者使用了阿立哌唑。这项为期8周的试验发现,症状清单(SCL - 90 - R)、汉密尔顿抑郁评定量表(HDRS)、汉密尔顿焦虑评定量表(HARS)的大多数量表以及状态 - 特质愤怒表达量表(STAXI)的所有量表均有显著变化。目的、材料与方法:为评估阿立哌唑对多方面边缘型症状的长期疗效,对先前试验中的同一批患者进行了为期18个月的随访观察,每半年进行一次测试(先前每日服用15毫克阿立哌唑治疗组,n = 26,21名女性和5名男性患者;先前安慰剂组,n = 26,22名女性和4名男性患者)。
根据意向性分析原则,18个月后,在接受阿立哌唑治疗的受试者中,观察到SCL - 90 - R、HDRS、HARS和STAXI的所有量表均有显著变化。
阿立哌唑在长期治疗BPD患者方面似乎是一种有效且相对安全的药物。
