Methylphenidate in the treatment of neurobehavioral slowing associated with cancer and cancer treatment
Abstract
Psychostimulants used in the treatment of psychiatric conditions, including depression, alleviate some of the observed psychomotor retardation. We describe 3 patients with impairments of arousal and psychomotor speed secondary to tumor-related organic brain dysfunction who benefited from stimulant therapy.
