ondansetron and Schizophrenia

ondansetron has been researched along with Schizophrenia in 16 studies

Ondansetron: A competitive serotonin type 3 receptor antagonist. It is effective in the treatment of nausea and vomiting caused by cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs, including cisplatin, and has reported anxiolytic and neuroleptic properties.

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

P50 Sensory Gating

P50 Sensory Gating as measured by evoked potentials (response to stimuli, in this case, clicking sounds).The P50 potential was identified and measured using a computer algorithm. The amplitude of the P50 test wave was divided by the amplitude of the P50 conditioning wave, expressed as a percentage: the P50 ratio. Lower P50 ratios represent better outcomes. (NCT00149734)
Timeframe: Up to 3 hours
