L-theanine combination therapy with fluvoxamine in moderate-to-severe obsessive-compulsive disorder: A placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized trial.
The main aim of this study was to investigate the additional effects of L-theanine, an amino acid in tea and an analog of glutamate with neuroprotective and anti-depressant properties, on obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms in combination with fluvoxamine.. Patients from either sex aged between 18 and 60 years diagnosed with OCD, based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), who had a Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) score of more than 21 were enrolled in a double-blinded, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, clinical trial of 10 weeks to receive either L-theanine (100 mg twice daily) and fluvoxamine (100 mg daily initially followed by 200 mg daily after week 5) or placebo and fluvoxamine. The primary outcome of interest in this study was the Y-BOCS total score decrease from baseline.. Findings in this study suggest L-theanine as a relatively safe and effective adjuvant therapy for moderate to severe OCD.
