简要总结
This study aims at evaluating the efficacy and safety of methylphenidate in the initial treatment of acute mania in patients with bipolar affective disorders.
详细描述
Mania can be regarded as an autoregulatory mechanism to enhance unstable vigilance. There is increasing evidence that psychostimulants that increase vigilance may be effective in treating mania. However, controlled studies are lacking.
This is a two-arm, randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel, multi-centre phase IIIb exploratory study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of methylphenidate in the initial treatment of acute mania in patients with bipolar affective disorders.
