lorazepam and Psychotic Disorders

lorazepam has been researched along with Psychotic Disorders in 82 studies

Lorazepam: A benzodiazepine used as an anti-anxiety agent with few side effects. It also has hypnotic, anticonvulsant, and considerable sedative properties and has been proposed as a preanesthetic agent.

Psychotic Disorders: Disorders in which there is a loss of ego boundaries or a gross impairment in reality testing with delusions or prominent hallucinations. (From DSM-IV, 1994)

Trial Outcomes

Change of the Agitation-Calmness Evaluation Scale (ACES) Score From Baseline to 120 Minutes After 1st Injection

Agitation was further assessed by the Agitation Calmness Evaluation Scale (ACES) (Copyright 1998, Eli Lilly and Company), a single-item scale developed by Eli Lilly and Company on which 1 indicates marked agitation; 2, moderate agitation; 3, mild agitation; 4, normal; 5, mild calmness; 6, moderate calmness; 7, marked calmness; 8, deep sleep; and 9, unable to be aroused. (NCT00797277)
Timeframe: from baseline to 120 minutes after first injection

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)
1. IM Olanzapine2.14
2. IM Haloperidol Pus Lorazepam2.23

The Change of the Positive and Negative Symptom Scale Excited Component (PANSS-EC) Score From Baseline to 120 Minutes After First Injection

The primary efficacy measure was PANSS-EC, which was derived from the PANSS by its originators using a principal-components factor analysis, and includes the items of tension, uncooperativeness, hostility, poor impulse control and excitement.22 The score of each item ranges from 1 (normal) to 7 (most severe), with a total sum score ranging from 5 to 35. The changes in PANSS-EC from baseline to 2 hours after the first injection were compared. (NCT00797277)
Timeframe: from baseline to 120 minutes after first injection

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)
1. IM Olanzapine-10.2
2. IM Haloperidol Plus Lorazepam-9.9
