The purpose of this study was to determine whether combined treatment with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, desipramine, effectively reduces obsessive-compulsive symptoms in patients who do not respond to SSRIs.
In a double-blind study, desipramine or placebo was added for 6 or 10 weeks to the treatment of 30 patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder whose symptoms were refractory to SSRI treatment (fluvoxamine, fluoxetine, or sertraline) alone.
There were no significant differences between the adjunctive desipramine and placebo groups in obsessive-compulsive or depressive symptoms.
These data suggest that clomipramine's possibly superior efficacy in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive symptoms may not stem from its capacity to inhibit reuptake of norepinephrine.
本研究旨在确定选择性5-羟色胺再摄取抑制剂(SSRI)与去甲丙咪嗪(一种去甲肾上腺素再摄取抑制剂)联合治疗对SSRI治疗无效的强迫症患者是否能有效减轻强迫症状。
在一项双盲研究中,30名强迫症症状单独使用SSRI(氟伏沙明、氟西汀或舍曲林)治疗无效的患者,被添加去甲丙咪嗪或安慰剂治疗6周或10周。
在强迫症状或抑郁症状方面,添加去甲丙咪嗪组与安慰剂组之间无显著差异。
这些数据表明,氯米帕明治疗强迫症状时可能具有的优越疗效,可能并非源于其抑制去甲肾上腺素再摄取的能力。
