valproic acid and Aggression

valproic acid has been researched along with Aggression in 107 studies

Valproic Acid: A fatty acid with anticonvulsant and anti-manic properties that is used in the treatment of EPILEPSY and BIPOLAR DISORDER. The mechanisms of its therapeutic actions are not well understood. It may act by increasing GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID levels in the brain or by altering the properties of VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNELS.
valproic acid : A branched-chain saturated fatty acid that comprises of a propyl substituent on a pentanoic acid stem.

Aggression: Behavior which may be manifested by destructive and attacking action which is verbal or physical, by covert attitudes of hostility or by obstructionism.

Trial Outcomes

Clinicians Global Impression of Change

Study physician's impression of change since study onset. Clinicians Global Impressions of Change (CGI) is a sensitive, standardized tool to assess psychopharmacologic treatment response completed by the study physician. The Global Improvement (GI) CGI subscale documented the clinician's impression of change. The GI uses a 7-point scale to assess beneficial and negative effects. Low GI values (1 -3) indicate improvement; higher values (4-7) represent worsening. (NCT00621751)
Timeframe: 42 days

Neuropsychiatric Inventory Irritability-Aggression Domains Composite Measure -- Observer

Neuropsychiatry Inventory-Irritability (NPI-I) & Aggression domains (NPI-A): NPI is a 40-item assessment of 12 behavioral domains (NPI-I & NPI-A domains used in this study). The most problematic aspect of each domain is graded for severity (1=mild, to 3=severe) and frequency (1-4 with 4 representing highest frequency); the domain scores (0-12) are the product of severity and frequency. To best reflect treatment target intent and meet parametric statistical method criteria, the primary outcome was a composite measure of observer-rated NPI-I & -A domains transformed to a Rasch logit scale running from 0 (best) to 100 (worse) units (i.e., observer-rated NPI-I/A Rasch construct scores). Mean day-42 observer-rated NPI-I/A Rasch construct scores were compared between placebo vs. carbamazepine using ANCOVA with baseline score as covariate. (NCT00621751)

Proportion of Participants With Minimal Clinically Important Difference -- Observer Rating

Proportion of participants with Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) on Neuropsychiatric Inventory Irritability-Aggression Composite Measure completed by Observer. Specifically, the proportion of participants that experienced a decrease of > 1 (MCID) in the NPI-I/A Rasch construct score (i.e., participants that are considered to have meaningful reduction in irritability/aggression) from baseline to day-42 between the groups using a chi-square test. MCID was defined as 0.5 times the standard deviation of baseline scores. (NCT00621751)
