The Mastrogiovanni case was a revolutionary case in the field of Italian forensic psychiatry. A recent judgment of the Court of Cassation has defined what the legal limits of mechanical restraint should be. On the other hand, even today, there is a gap in the scientific community about the presence of guidelines governing mechanical restraint. It is probably time to create specific guidelines to protect the psychiatric patient and the mental health worker.
马斯特罗乔瓦尼案是意大利法医精神病学领域的一个具有革命性的案例。最高上诉法院最近的一项判决确定了机械约束的法律界限。另一方面，即使在今天，科学界在关于机械约束的指导方针方面仍存在差距。或许是时候制定具体的指导方针来保护精神病患者和精神卫生工作者了。
