Abstract

The clinical effect of clopenthixol decanoate has been assessed in a 5-month controlled including 21 hospitalized chronic schizophrenic patients. The ratings were done with BPRS, NOSIE 30, the two psychological tests of WAIS and Grübaum, and the rating scale of Simpson & Angus to assess extrapyramidal side effects. Clopenthixol decanoate was found an effective and long-acting antipsychotic compound with few autonomic and neurological side effects. Compared with previous maintenance treatment it also showed a positive influence on depression and facilitation of the social adaptation of the patients.
