Ten hospitalized chronic psychotic patients with symptoms of tardive dyskinesia were given deanol and placebo, each for 8 weeks following a double-bline, crossover design. No psychotropic agents were administered during the trial. Improvement occurred in all patients during the first treatment phase regardless of which drug the patients received; seven patients were on deanol and three on placebo during this time. The possible reasons for this decrease were discussed. It was concluded that deanol may have contributed to the decline but that its effect on the disorder was not dramatic.
十名患有迟发性运动障碍症状的住院慢性精神病患者按照双盲、交叉设计接受了二甲胺乙醇和安慰剂治疗，每种药物治疗8周。试验期间未使用精神药物。在第一个治疗阶段，所有患者均有改善，无论他们接受的是哪种药物；在此期间，七名患者使用二甲胺乙醇，三名患者使用安慰剂。讨论了这种下降的可能原因。得出的结论是，二甲胺乙醇可能促成了症状的减轻，但其对该疾病的影响并不显著。
