RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: The authors studied the effects of vitamin E treatment of tardive dyskinesia; earlier studies have produced contradictory results. METHOD: Twenty-eight patients with tardive dyskinesia were treated in a double-blind, parallel-group comparison study of 8-12 weeks of treatment with vitamin E (1600 IU/day) or matching placebo capsules. RESULTS: The Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale scores of the patients treated with vitamin E improved significantly compared to the scores of the patients given placebo. CONCLUSIONS: These results support earlier findings of the efficacy of vitamin E in treating tardive dyskinesia.
