diazoxide and Schizophrenia

diazoxide has been researched along with Schizophrenia in 2 studies

Diazoxide: A benzothiadiazine derivative that is a peripheral vasodilator used for hypertensive emergencies. It lacks diuretic effect, apparently because it lacks a sulfonamide group.
diazoxide : A benzothiadiazine that is the S,S-dioxide of 2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine which is substituted at position 3 by a methyl group and at position 7 by chlorine. A peripheral vasodilator, it increases the concentration of glucose in the plasma and inhibits the secretion of insulin by the beta- cells of the pancreas. It is used orally in the management of intractable hypoglycaemia and intravenously in the management of hypertensive emergencies.

Schizophrenia: A severe emotional disorder of psychotic depth characteristically marked by a retreat from reality with delusion formation, HALLUCINATIONS, emotional disharmony, and regressive behavior.

Trial Outcomes

MADRS Change at Day 7

Change in Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) from baseline to 7 days post-treatment. The range of values is from 0 - 60, with a higher score indicating increased depressive symptoms. A score of 7-19 indicates mild depression; 20-34 indicates moderate depression; >34 indicates severe depression. (NCT02049385)
Timeframe: 7 days
