This article aims to highlight current trends in the pharmacologic management of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). A systematic search of the electronic database MEDLINE was conducted. The first case report of clomipramine efficacy in the management OCD more than 40 years ago gave new hope for the treatment of this debilitating disorder. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) proved to have a similar efficacy profile compared with clomipramine but had a superior tolerability profile. While many patients with OCD respond to SSRIs or clomipramine, the treatment of those with refractory OCD remains challenging. Different augmentation agents in treatment-resistant OCD have been explored, with antipsychotic agents having the largest supporting evidence base. Nevertheless, new pharmacologic treatment options are required and are under investigation.
本文旨在强调强迫症(OCD)药物治疗的当前趋势。对电子数据库 MEDLINE 进行了系统搜索。40 多年前,首例氯米帕明治疗 OCD 的病例报告为这种使人衰弱的疾病的治疗带来了新的希望。选择性 5-羟色胺再摄取抑制剂(SSRIs)与氯米帕明相比具有相似的疗效,但具有更好的耐受性。虽然许多 OCD 患者对 SSRIs 或氯米帕明有反应,但治疗难治性 OCD 仍然具有挑战性。已经探索了治疗抵抗性 OCD 中的不同增效剂,抗精神病药物具有最大的支持证据基础。然而,需要并正在研究新的药物治疗选择。
