Chemical destruction of vestibular receptors - a new opportunity in the treatment of pronounced forms of extrapyramidal symptoms associated with taking psychotropic drugs

Abstract

The current state of the problems associated with the emergence of pronounced forms of extrapyramidal symptoms while taking psychotropic drugs is considered in the article. The theoretical justification of the possibility of using chemical transtimpanal destruction vestibular receptors for therapeutic purposes in patients with tardive dyskinesia conducted. The methodology of the chemical transtimpanal chemical destruction of the vestibular receptors described. The treatment consisted in the application of chemical transtimpanal destruction of vestibular receptors. The course of treatment lasted 3-4 weeks and consisted of 4 - 5 procedures. After treatment, patients had regression of extrapyramidal symptoms.
