BACKGROUND
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are among the most common complications in operative medicine. Especially patients undergoing middle ear surgery or stapedectomy are frequently suffering from PONV. On the other hand vertigo might be a symptom of an operative complication. For
Prochlorperazine is a centrally acting dopamine receptor antagonist that is most commonly used for the treatment of nausea and vomiting. Like many dopamine antagonists, prochlorperazine has the ability to induce extrapyramidal reactions in susceptible patients. Rarely, however, have cases of tardive
Eight psychiatric patients with tardive dyskinesia (TD) were treated with single doses of the synthetic met-enkephalin analogue FK 33-824 (1, 2, and 3 mg IM) morphine (10 mg SC) and naloxone, an opiate receptor antagonist (0.8 mg IM). The drug effects were assessed by blind evaluation of randomly
The effectiveness of a once-weekly i.m. injection of ceruletide (0.8 microgram/kg) in suppressing the symptoms of neuroleptic-induced tardive dyskinesia (TD) was evaluated in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, matched-pairs study. Global evaluation of the severity of TD symptoms over the 8-week
Tardive dyskinesia is a potentially irreversible syndrome of involuntary hyperkinetic movements that occur in predisposed persons receiving extended neuroleptic (antipsychotic) drug therapy. It is usually characterized by choreoathetoid dyskinesias in the orofacial, limb, and truncal regions, but
RS 86, a specific muscarinic agonist, was evaluated in a blind, placebo-controlled, single-dose trial in 10 psychiatric patients with stable tardive dyskinesia (TD). RS 86, 0.5-4 mg orally, produced no significant effects in TD, although 4 mg caused a minimal aggravation in parkinsonism. Side
BACKGROUND
Since the 1950's neuroleptic medication has been extensively used to treat people with chronic mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia. These may cause tardive dyskinesia (TD), abnormal, repetitive and involuntary movements, in up to 20% of those using the medication for longer than three
Chronic antipsychotic drug treatment may cause tardive dyskinesia (TD), a long-term movement disorder. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) agonist drugs, which have intense sedative properties and may exacerbate psychotic symptoms, have been used to treat TD.

Both antidepressants and neuroleptics are widely used in psychopharmacological treatment. In view of the often equal efficacy of substances belonging to the same class of drugs, potential side effects have become the most important criteria for the selection of a specific drug. The therapeutic
The main clinical features, pathophysiology and underlying mechanisms of drug-induced parkinsonism are reviewed. The clinical manifestations of drug-induced parkinsonism are often indistinguishable from idiopathic Parkinson's disease. However, some subtle differences may exist: for example
Clozapine has been shown to have superior effectiveness compared with classic neuroleptics in treating refractory schizophrenia in Caucasians, but its efficacy and safety in Chinese have not been adequately studied. Forty Chinese schizophrenic patients were recruited in a 12-week, double-blind,
Metoclopramide is recommended for adults with breakthrough or refractory chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) and for CINV prophylaxis in children. The drug regulatory agencies of Canada and the EU have revised the labelling of metoclopramide to contraindicate its use in children aged <1
BACKGROUND
Symptoms of circulatory disorders depend on the volume and localization of the cerebellar infarction. An isolated blood vessel occlusion may have various symptoms due to numerous anastomoses in the cerebellar hemispheres. Dominant symptoms are vertigo, vomiting, nausea and balance
Data sourcesSeveral electronic databases were searched such as Cochrane Oral Health's Trials, Cochrane Library, Medline Ovid, CINAHL EBSCO and AMED Ovid and ongoing registered clinical trials in clinicaltrials.gov and in the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform.
BACKGROUND
The sense of taste is very much essential to the overall health of the individual. It is a necessary component to enjoying one's food, which in turn provides nutrition to an individual. Any disturbance in taste perception can hamper the quality of life in such patients by influencing
