Abstract
An open label trial was conducted to study the efficacy of zuclopenthi xol decanoate, a D-1/D-2 antagonist, in the treatment of chronic (> 10 years) neuroleptic-resistant aggressive schizophrenia (n = 10) and ps ychotic oligophrenic patients (n = 6). A significant reduction was not ed in the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale score, especially in the clus ters of hostility-suspiciousness and excitement. After many years of s eclusion, ten of the 16 patients were transferred to an open psychiatr ic department and were allowed to visit their families. (C) 1998 Elsev ier, Paris.
