5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Hypersalivation (sialorrhea or ptyalism) is known as a frequent, disturbing, uncomfortable adverse effect of clozapine therapy, and until now there is not enough effective treatment for this side effect leading to noncompliance.
In previous studies it was found that substitute benzamide derivatives with higher selective binding to the D2/D3 dopamine receptor - amisulpride and sulpiride may be effective in treatment of clozapine-induced hypersalivation (CIH). Today, in psychiatric practice in Israel, there are four medications which belong to substitute benzamide derivatives group: amisulpride, sulpiride, tiapride and moclobemide. We hypothesized that antisalivation effect is universal for the whole group of benzamide.
The aim of our study was to compare efficacy of amisulpride, moclobemide (reversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor-A (RIMAS)), and tiapride (dopamine D2 antagonist) as an additional possibility for management of CIH.
Detailed Description
The pilot study will be conducted in two mental health centers. In order to examine our hypothesis, we will use an add-on design. Into the study will be enrolled 50 patients with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder (males and females, 19-60 years old), according to the DSM-IV criteria, treated with clozapine and suffering from hypersalivation.
