[PMID: 38982802 DOI: 10.1080/14737175.2024.2376107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/11/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Tardive dyskinesia (TD) and Huntington's disease (HD)-associated chorea are persistent and disabling hyperkinetic disorders that can be treated with vesicular monoamine transporter type 2 (VMAT2) inhibitors, including the recently approved once-daily (QD) formulation of deutetrabenazine (DTBZ ER). While its efficacy and safety profile have not been directly investigated, currently available data confirms bioequivalence and similar bioavailability to the twice-daily formulation (DTBZ BID). AREAS COVERED The authors briefly review the pivotal trials establishing efficacy of DTBZ for TD and HD-associated chorea, the pharmacokinetic data for bioequivalence between QD and BID dosing of DTBZ, as well as dose proportionality evidence, titration recommendations, and safety profile for DTBZ ER. EXPERT OPINION Long-term data show that DTBZ is efficacious and well tolerated for the treatment of TD and HD-associated chorea. DTBZ ER likely demonstrates therapeutic equivalence with no new safety signals. Due to the lack of comparative clinical trial data, no evidence-based recommendation about choice of VMAT2 inhibitor or switching between VMAT2 inhibitors can be made about best practice. Ultimately, QD dosing may offer the chance of improved medication adherence, an important consideration in patients with complex treatment regimens and/or patients with cognitive decline.

Abstract
RATIONALE The efficacy and safety of antidepressant augmentation therapy with aripiprazole (AATA) has been established; however, the ongoing effects of continuing aripiprazole after remission remain unclear because no studies have examined this issue. OBJECTIVES We aimed to explore the effect of AATA discontinuation on the major depressive disorder (MDD) recurrence risk in patients with remitted MDD after AATA. METHODS This 24-week, multicenter, placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized trial evaluated recurrence risk in patients with MDD who achieved remission with AATA. Differences in MDD recurrence, as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, between the two groups were compared using survival analysis. The differences in depressive symptom severity and social functioning between the two groups were compared using a mixed model with repeated measures. Extrapyramidal symptoms and akathisia were also assessed. RESULTS Twenty-three participants were randomized and treated. Two patients in each group experienced recurrence during the study. Kaplan-Meier analysis with Log-rank comparison showed no difference in recurrence between groups (p = 0.642). No significant difference in interactions between group and period was observed in the 17-item Hamilton depression rating scale (p = 0.492) or the Social and Occupational Functioning Assessment Scale (p = 0.638). No patients developed extrapyramidal symptoms or akathisia. CONCLUSIONS Definitive conclusions could not be drawn owing to the small sample size. This study represents a starting point for investigating the safety of aripiprazole discontinuation on recurrence in patients with MDD who have achieved remission with AATA. Future studies with appropriate sample sizes calculated based on this study are needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in chronic schizophrenia patients with tardive dyskinesia (TD) who were long-term hospitalized. METHODS Sixty-four inpatients who met the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia and TD were randomly assigned to either the active (N=35) or sham (N=29) group. Treatment was given 15 times, with each session lasting for 30 min, and an intensity of 2 mA. The anode was placed on the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the cathode on the right supraorbital region. Primary outcome was measured by the changes in Abnormal Involuntary Movements Scale (AIMS) score. Secondary outcomes were measured using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and the Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS). Adverse effects of tDCS were assessed with an experimenter-administered open-ended questionnaire throughout the experiment. RESULTS Of the 64 patients, 52 (81.25%) completed the study. Compared to the sham group, patients in the active group exhibited a significant reduction in both the total AIMS score and the facial-oral subscore (P<0.05). An improvement of at least 30% in total AIMS scores was observed in the active group (14 patients, 50%) compared to the sham group (2 patients, 8.3%) after treatment (P<0.01). There were no between-group differences in the PANSS and SANS total scores. However, there was a significant difference between the two groups in the occurrence of the reported adverse effect of tingling sensation (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS TDCS may be an effective and safe treatment for improving the facial-oral motor symptoms of TD in chronically hospitalized patients with schizophrenia. SIGNIFICANCE This study provides a novel perspective for the clinical treatment of patients with TD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a persisting, and potentially irreversible, movement disorder associated with treatment with dopamine receptor antagonists. Few data are available on the risk of TD in children and adolescents treated with antipsychotic medication. OBJECTIVE To review the literature on incidence, risk factors, and treatment options for antipsychotic-associated TD in children and adolescents (aged < 18 years). METHODS Relevant articles were identified through a systematic search of Embase and Medline performed in January 2024. Methodological quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal tools. RESULTS Thirteen studies were identified. The reported TD point prevalence was 5-20%, with higher rates in studies involving typical antipsychotics. Lower estimates (around 1%) emerged from analyses of clinical database data suggesting underdiagnosis in clinical practice. Risk factors included treatment with typical antipsychotics, higher doses, longer duration of exposure, older age, female gender, higher baseline Abnormal Involuntary Movements Scale (AIMS) scores, intellectual impairment, and perinatal complications. CONCLUSION Although relatively few cases have been reported in children and adolescents, TD remains a risk in this population. Individuals receiving antipsychotics should be monitored carefully for the emergence of abnormal movements. Other than dose reduction, discontinuation, or switch to a lower-risk antipsychotic, few interventions have demonstrated efficacy. The strongest evidence for pharmacological treatment is for VMAT-2 inhibitors (valbenazine and deutetrabenazine), but these drugs are not licensed for use in children. To reduce risk, antipsychotics should be prescribed only if necessary, at the minimum effective dose and for the minimum necessary duration.

Abstract
Background Tardive Dyskinesia (TD) is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary movements, often caused by dopamine receptor antagonists. Vesicular Monoamine Transporter 2 (VMAT2) inhibitors, such as valbenazine and deutetrabenazine, have emerged as promising therapies for TD and several clinical trials have shown their efficacy. This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety profile of VMAT2 inhibitors, focusing on a recent trial conducted in the Asian population. Methods We reviewed the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase database, and clinicaltrials.gov between January 2017 and October 2023, using the keywords "tardive dyskinesia" AND ("valbenazine" [all fields] OR " deutetrabenazine " [all fields]) AND "clinical trial". The reviewed articles were studied for efficacy and side effects. Results An initial search yielded 230 articles, of which 104 were duplicates. Following the title and abstract screening, 25 additional articles were excluded. A full-text review resulted in the exclusion of 96 more articles. Ultimately, four double-blind clinical trials met the inclusion criteria. The deutetrabenazine studies demonstrated significant improvements in Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) scores compared to placebo, with no difference in adverse events. The valbenazine studies showed favorable results in reducing TD symptoms and were well-tolerated. Discussion The studies reviewed in this analysis underscore the potential of deutetrabenazine and valbenazine as valuable treatment options for TD in diverse populations. Both medications demonstrated significant improvements in AIMS scores, suggesting their effectiveness in managing TD symptoms. Additionally, they exhibited favorable safety profiles, with low rates of serious adverse events and no significant increase in QT prolongation, parkinsonism, suicidal ideation, or mortality. Conclusion The studies reviewed highlight the promising efficacy and tolerability of deutetrabenazine and valbenazine as treatments for Tardive Dyskinesia, providing new hope for individuals affected by this challenging condition.

Abstract
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a movement disorder that can arise as a side effect of treatment with dopamine receptor-blocking agents (DRBAs), including antipsychotic drugs (APDs) used to manage psychotic illnesses. Second-generation APDs (SGAs) are often preferred to first-generation drugs due to their lower propensity to cause TD, however many SGAs-treated patients still develop the condition. Although TD is a global health concern, evidence regarding the occurrence of TD and how it is managed in Asian countries is currently limited. This article reports the results of a systematic review of the published literature on TD focusing on its prevalence, types of patients, knowledge of the condition, causative factors, and usual treatment pathways in clinical practice in Asian countries. Epidemiological data suggest that the prevalence of TD is increasing globally due to an overall rise in APD use, contributing factors being polypharmacy with multiple APDs, the use of higher than necessary doses, and off-label use for non-psychotic indications. Although exact prevalence figures for TD in Asian countries are difficult to define, there is a similar pattern of rising APD use which will result in increasing numbers of TD patients in this region. These issues need to be addressed and strategies developed to minimize TD risk and manage this disabling condition which impacts patients' quality of life and daily functioning. To date, both research into TD has been predominantly psychiatry focused and the perspectives from neurologists regarding the clinical management of this challenging condition are scarce. However, neurologists have an essential role in managing the movement disorders manifestations that characterize TD. Optimum management of TD, therefore, should ideally involve collaboration between psychiatrists and neurologists in joint care pathways, wherever practical. Collaborative pathways are proposed in this article, and the challenges that will need to be addressed in Asian countries to improve the care of people with TD are highlighted, with a focus on the neurologist's viewpoint and the implications for the management of TD globally.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cholinergic discontinuation symptoms, also known as "cholinergic rebound," from abrupt clozapine discontinuation are characterized by a range of somatic and psychiatric symptoms. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to describe the clinical features and management options for clozapine withdrawal-associated cholinergic rebound syndrome (henceforth referred to as CWCRS) and present an illustrative case report. METHODS Based on a literature search of the databases PubMed, OVID Medline, and Embase as well as reviewing reference lists of relevant past reviews, we carried out a systematic review of case reports on the management of CWCRS from 1946 to 2023. RESULTS We identified 10 previously published articles on the clinical management of CWCRS, with a total of 18 patients (6 female, 12 male) with an average age of 43 years (standard deviation 14). Half of the patients had a history of tardive dyskinesia. The mean dose of clozapine before discontinuation was 351 mg/day, with duration of clozapine treatment ranging from 3 weeks to 9 years. Clozapine was the most effective treatment, followed by benztropine. CONCLUSIONS Given the small number of cases and the nonexperimental nature of the available studies, this review could not provide reliable data to guide management of CWCRS. The findings, however, suggest that clozapine may be more effective than other commonly used treatment options. With the high rates of discontinuation among patients on clozapine, there is a pressing need for further research into the epidemiology, natural history, and management of clozapine withdrawal syndromes.

Parakinesia: A Delphi consensus report. Schizophr Res 2024; 263:45-54.

Abstract
Abnormal movements are intrinsic to some forms of endogenous psychoses. Spontaneous dyskinesias are observed in drug-naïve first-episode patients and at-risk subjects. However, recent descriptions of spontaneous dyskinesias may actually represent the rediscovery of a more complex phenomenon, 'parakinesia' which was described and documented in extensive cinematographic recordings and long-term observations by German and French neuropsychiatrists decades before the introduction of antipsychotics. With the emergence of drug induced movement disorders, the description of parakinesia has been refined to emphasize the features enabling differential diagnosis with tardive dyskinesia. Unfortunately, parakinesia was largely neglected by mainstream psychiatry to the point of being almost absent from the English-language literature. With the renewed interest in motor phenomena intrinsic to SSD, it was timely not only to raise awareness of parakinesia, but also to propose a scientifically usable definition for this phenomenon. Therefore, we conducted a Delphi consensus exercise with clinicians familiar with the concept of parakinesia. The original concept was separated into hyperkinetic parakinesia (HPk) as dyskinetic-like expressive movements and parakinetic psychomotricity (PPM), i.e., patient's departing from the patient's normal motion style. HPk prevails on the upper part of the face and body, resembling expressive and reactive gestures that not only occur inappropriately but also appear distorted. Abnormal movements vary in intensity depending on the level of psychomotor arousal and are thus abated by antipsychotics. HPk frequently co-occurs with PPM, in which gestures and mimics lose their naturalness and become awkward, disharmonious, stiff, mannered, and bizarre. Patients are never spontaneously aware of HPk or PPM, and the movements are never experienced as self-dystonic or self-alien. HPk and PPM are highly specific to endogenous psychoses, in which they are acquired and progressive, giving them prognostic value. Their differential diagnoses and correspondences with current international concepts are discussed.

Associations between polymorphisms in the cannabinoid receptor 1 gene, cognitive impairments and tardive dyskinesia in a Chinese population with schizophrenia. Brain Res 2023; 1821:148579. [PMID: 37739333 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2023.148579] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2023] [Revised: 09/03/2023] [Accepted: 09/11/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a medically induced movement disorder that occurs as a result of long-term use of antipsychotic medications, commonly seen in patients with schizophrenia (SCZ). The study aimed to investigate the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the CNR1 gene, TD and cognitive impairments in a Chinese population with SCZ. METHODS A total of 216 SCZ patients were recruited. The participants were divided into TD and without TD (WTD) groups using the Schooler-Kane International Diagnostic Criteria. The severity of TD was assessed using the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS). Cognitive function was assessed using the Repeatable Battery for Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) scale. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium tests, chained disequilibrium analyses and haplotype analyses were performed using SHE-sis software. To explore the main effects of TD diagnosis, genotype and cognitive function, as well as interaction effects, analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was employed. RESULTS The prevalence of TD was approximately 27.3%. Significant differences were observed in the rs806368 CT genotype and rs806370 TC genotype within the hypercongenic pattern between the male TD and WTD groups (OR = 2.508, 95% CI: 1.055-5.961, p = 0.037; OR = 2.552, 95% CI: 1.073-6.069, p = 0.034). Among TD patients, those carrying the rs806368 CC genotype exhibited higher limb trunk scores (p < 0.05). Moreover, there was a statistically significant difference in visuospatial/construction between the TD and WTD groups (p = 0.04), and a borderline significant difference in visuospatial/construction when considering the interaction between TD diagnosis and genotype at the rs806368 locus (p = 0.05). CONCLUSION CNR1 rs806368 and rs806370 polymorphisms may play a role in TD susceptibility. Additionally, CNR1 gene polymorphisms were associated with the severity of involuntary movements and cognitive impairments in TD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tardive dyskinesia (TD) has a multidimensional impact on patients with TD and, as importantly, their caregivers. An online survey was developed and administered to assess patient and caregiver burden of TD. Survey participants were unpaid caregivers for patients with diagnoses of TD and schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and/or major depressive disorder. Overall, 162 caregivers rated the 7-day impact of TD on the physical, psychological, and social functioning of patients and the impact of TD on these domains in their own lives and in their professional lives. RESULTS Across physical, psychological, and social domains, most caregivers (82.7%) reported that TD had severe impact on the cared-for patients, and 23.5% reported severe impact of TD in their own lives. Caregivers experienced 46.4% activity impairment, and caregivers who were employed (n = 136) experienced 49.5% overall work impairment because of TD-related caregiving. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that TD imposes substantial burden for both caregivers and patients.

Abstract
Objective Tardive syndrome (TS) is an umbrella term used to describe a group of abnormal movement disorders caused by chronic exposure to dopamine receptor blocking agents. Few follow-up studies have been performed on the outcome of TS in patients using antipsychotics. The purpose of our study was to investigate the prevalence, incidence, remission rate, and factors associated with remission in patients using antipsychotics. Methods This retrospective cohort study consisted of 123 patients who received continuous treatment of antipsychotics in a medical center in Taiwan, from April 1, 2011 to May 31, 2021. We assessed the demographic and clinical characteristics, prevalence, incidence, remission rate, and factors associated with remission in patients using antipsychotics. TS remission was defined as a Visual Analogue Scale score ≤ 3. Results Of the 92 patients who completed the 10-year follow-up, 39 (42.4%) were found to have at least one episode of TS, with tardive dyskinesia (TD) being the most prevalent subtype (51.3%). With regard to concurrent physical illness, a history of extrapyramidal symptoms were significant risk factors for TS. During the 10-year follow-up period, the remission rate of TS was 74.3%. The use of antioxidants including vitamin B6 and piracetam was related to the remission of TS. Patients with tardive dystonia had a higher remission rate (87.5%) compared to TD (70%). Conclusion Our study suggests that TS may be a treatable condition, and the key to a better outcome is early detection and prompt intervention, including closely monitoring antipsychotics-related TS symptoms and using antioxidants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Previous studies have shown that transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS) led to an improvement of cognitive function in patients with schizophrenia, but rare study has explored the effect of tDCS on long-term hospitalized chronic schizophrenia with tardive dyskinesia (TD). The present research explored if cognitive function in patients with long-term hospitalized chronic schizophrenia with TD could be improved through tDCS. METHODS This study is a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled clinical trial. Of the 52 patients, 14 dropped out, and 38 completed the experiment. Thirty-eight patients on stable treatment regimens were randomly assigned to receive active tDCS(n = 21) or sham stimulation(n = 17) on weekdays of the first, third, and fifth weeks of treatment. Patients performed the Pattern Recognition Memory (PRM) and the Intra/Extradimensional Set Shift (IED) from the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) at baseline and the end of week 3, week 5. Clinical symptoms were also measured at the baseline and the fifth week using the Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS) and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). Side effects of tDCS were assessed with an experimenter-administered open-ended questionnaire during the whole experiment. RESULTS There were no significant differences in PRM and IED performance metrics, SANS total score and PANSS total score between active and sham tDCS groups at the end of week 5 (p > 0.05). Furthermore, there was a significant difference in the adverse effects of the tingling sensation between the two groups (p < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in other side effects (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION According to these findings, no evidence supports using anodal stimulation over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex to improve cognitive function in patients with long-term hospitalized chronic schizophrenia with TD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tardive dyskinesia (TD), a side effect due to long-term use of antipsychotic medication, is associated with cognitive impairment. Several studies have found sex differences in cognitive impairment in schizophrenia patients, while whether there are sex differences in cognitive performance in schizophrenia patients with TD has not been reported. METHODS A total of 496 schizophrenia inpatients and 362 healthy controls were recruited for this study. We used the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) to assess patients' psychopathological symptoms and the Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS) to assess the severity of TD. Cognitive function was measured in 313 of these inpatients and 310 of healthy controls using the Repeatable Battery for Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS). RESULTS Patients with schizophrenia performed worse in all cognitive domains than healthy controls(all p < 0.001). Compared to patients without TD, patients with TD had higher PANSS total, PANSS negative symptom subscale and AIMS scores (all p < 0.001), while RBANS total, visuospatial/constructional and attention subscale scores were significantly lower (all p < 0.05). In addition, the visuospatial/constructional and attention indices remained significantly lower in male patients with TD than those without TD (both p < 0.05), but these results were not observed in female patients. Moreover, visuospatial/constructional and attention indices were negatively correlated with total AIMS scores only in male patients (both p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that there may be sex differences in cognitive impairment in schizophrenia patients with comorbid TD, indicating that female gender may have a protective effect on cognitive impairment in schizophrenia patients caused by TD.

Abstract
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a phenomenon observed following the predominantly long-term use of dopamine receptor blockers (antipsychotics) widely used in psychiatry. TD is a group of involuntary, irregular hyperkinetic movements, mainly in the muscles of the face, eyelid, lips, tongue, and cheeks, and less frequently in the limbs, neck, pelvis, and trunk. In some patients, TD takes on an extremely severe form, massively disrupting functioning and, moreover, causing stigmatization and suffering. Deep brain stimulation (DBS), a method used, among others, in Parkinson's disease, is also an effective treatment for TD and often becomes a method of last resort, especially in severe, drug-resistant forms. The group of TD patients who have undergone DBS is still very limited. The procedure is relatively new in TD, so the available reliable clinical studies are few and consist mainly of case reports. Unilateral and bilateral stimulation of two sites has proven efficacy in TD treatment. Most authors describe stimulation of the globus pallidus internus (GPi); less frequent descriptions involve the subthalamic nucleus (STN). In the present paper, we provide up-to-date information on the stimulation of both mentioned brain areas. We also compare the efficacy of the two methods by comparing the two available studies that included the largest groups of patients. Although GPi stimulation is more frequently described in literature, our analysis indicates comparable results (reduction of involuntary movements) with STN DBS.

Abstract
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a delayed, often irreversible iatrogenic movement disorder caused by long-term use of that dopamine receptors blocking drugs. Prevention of TD is paramount, and clinicians should follow best practice recommendations for prescribing antipsychotics, as well as reduction the using of dopamine receptor blocking drugs for non-psychiatric prescriptions. Replacement of antipsychotics with lower affinity for D2 receptors drugs, addition of VMAT2 (tetrabenazine), botulinum therapy, amantadine may be effective. In detection and incurable cases, the possibility of neuromodulation of brain structures should be considered. Most methods for testing TD currently have an insufficient level of evidence, although they include recommendations from professional communities. There is a great need for new clinical trials.

Abstract
RATIONALE Though clozapine is recommended for treatment of tardive dyskinesia (TD) relating to the use of antipsychotic medications, studies comprehensively investigating the treatment effect of clozapine on TD are still limited. OBJECTIVES This review examines the effectiveness of clozapine as an intervention for tardive dyskinesia and dystonia in patients with all psychiatric conditions. Effectiveness of clozapine, duration to exert the effect and dosage used were also analysed. METHODS A search in the PubMed, PsycINFO and clinicaltrials databases was performed, using the search terms "Clozapine" AND "dyskinesia" OR "dystonia". Full-text articles that reported the use of clozapine to treat abnormal involuntary movements and were written in English were included. RESULTS A total of 48 studies were identified, of which 13 were clinical trials and 35 were case reports. Significant improvement was seen in 86.7% of patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (average dose of clozapine = 355 mg/day) and 93% of patients with other psychiatric disorders (average dose of clozapine = 152.5 mg/day). Patients with other psychiatric diagnoses had faster improvement than the patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders. Variation in improvements and dosage were also seen in the clinical trials. CONCLUSION Results suggested an overall effectiveness of clozapine in the treatment of TD for patients with a range of psychiatric conditions. Different response time and clozapine dosage were seen in patients with different psychiatric conditions, suggesting different treatment protocols are required for different conditions. Most of the studies identified are of inadequate qualities, highlighting the need for high quality studies to provide clearer evidence.

Abstract
Patients with schizophrenia frequently suffer from motor abnormalities, but underlying alterations in neuroarchitecture remain unclear. Here, we aimed to disentangle dyskinesia from parkinsonism in motor structures of patients with schizophrenia and to assess associated molecular architecture. We measured grey matter of motor regions and correlated volumetric estimates with dyskinesia and parkinsonism severity. Associations with molecular architecture were identified by cross-modal spatial correlations between ensuing maps of abnormality-related volume alterations and neurotransmitter maps from healthy populations. Both phenomena were linked to (specific) striatal and basal forebrain reductions as well as to D1 receptor density. Dyskinesia also manifested in cerebellar decrease, while parkinsonism was associated with less motor cortex volume. The parkinsonism-related brain pattern was additionally associated with 5-HT1A/2A and µ-opioid receptors distribution. Findings suggest the need to develop psychopharmacological compounds that display not only selectivity for receptor subtypes but also anatomical selectivity for alleviating dyskinesia without worsening parkinsonism and vice versa.

Abstract
Tardive dyskinesia is a group of hyperkinetic and hypokinetic movement disorders, following the administration of dopamine receptor-blocking drugs. The severity of these syndromes varies from soft forms to the development of life-degrading situations. Phenomenologically tardive dyskinesia can be represented both in isolation and in various combinations. Recognition of these syndromes early in the development of tardive dyskinesia can optimize therapeutic treatment and reduce the risk of severe complications. As a means of treatment, deutetrabenazine or valbenazine are used as first-line drugs, with resistance to therapy and in severe cases, drugs of other groups are used (amantadine, baclofen, botulinum toxin type A, clonazepam, donepezil, gabapentin, ginkgo biloba, levetiracetam, melatonin, pregabalin, thiamine, verapamil, vitamin B6, vitamin E). Our own experience of 12 patients with tardive dystonia showed the effeciency of local injections of botulinum toxin.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This a comprehensive review of the literature regarding the use of Valbenazine in treating tardive dyskinesia. A primarily oral movement disorder induced by chronic exposure to certain classes of medications, tardive dyskinesia is often resistant to many therapeutic approaches. This review presents the background, evidence, and indications for the use of Valbenazine as a treatment option for this condition. RECENT FINDINGS Tardive dyskinesia is a disorder arising from long-term exposure to medications that blocked dopamine receptors, primarily antipsychotics. It is characterized by abnormal movements of the oral-buccal-lingual structures as well as associated pain and hypertrophy. Simply stopping the use of the dopamine blocking agents effectively alleviates the symptoms but is not always reliable hence the need for another therapeutic approach.Valbenazine is thought to function as a highly selective inhibitor of the VMAT2 vesicular monoamine transporter resulting in decreased availability of dopamine in the presynaptic cleft. This leads to decreased dopaminergic activation of the striatal motor pathway. The FDA approved Valbenazine in 2017 to treat tardive dyskinesia in adults and needs to be evaluated with existing therapeutic approaches. SUMMARY The chronic use of dopamine receptor blocking agents, most commonly antipsychotics, can lead to a movement disorder called tardive dyskinesia. Once symptom onset has occurred, these movement abnormalities can persist for years to permanently, depending on the speed and effectiveness of treatment. Valbenazine is a relatively newer option for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia in adults. Compared to other pharmaceutical agents, it is more selective and has limited toxicities making it an effective treatment regimen. However, further research, including additional direct comparison studies, should be conducted to fully evaluate this drug's usefulness.

Abnormal functional connectivity of motor circuit in the schizophrenic patients with tardive dyskinesia: A resting-state fMRI study. Neurosci Lett 2020; 742:135548. [PMID: 33279570 DOI: 10.1016/j.neulet.2020.135548] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2020] [Revised: 11/21/2020] [Accepted: 11/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Animal and neuroimaging studies suggest that the volume of the motor-circuit region decreases in tardive dyskinesia (TD). This study examined the differences in functional connectivity within the motor circuit of patients with schizophrenia with and without TD to further clarify how the dysfunction is related to the pathogenesis of TD. METHODS Functional magnetic resonance images were taken of 56 schizophrenic patients with TD (TD group), 64 without TD (non-TD group), and 68 healthy controls (HC group). The motor-circuit area was selected as the seed region for a whole brain resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) analysis. Psychopathological symptoms and TD severity were assessed with the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS), respectively. Group differences and correlations among 18 brain regions of interest (e.g., the global strength of connectivity between two regions) were analyzed. RESULTS The analysis of variance results were as follows: The three groups exhibited rsFC losses in the left primary motor cortex, bilateral parietal cortices, right postcentral gyrus, right putamen, right superior parietal lobule, right supplementary motor area and bilateral thalami (false discovery rate,p < 0.05). The TD group showed a significant rsFC loss between the right postcentral gyrus and the inferior frontal gyrus of the left triangular part when compared with the non-TD group (AlphaSim, p < 0.001), which was negatively correlated with the AIMS total score (r=-0.259, p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS These findings may suggest dysfunction of the postcentral and inferior frontal gyri of the triangular part in patients with schizophrenia and TD.

Effects of CATECHIN on reserpine-induced vacuous chewing movements: behavioral and biochemical analysis. NAUNYN-SCHMIEDEBERG'S ARCHIVES OF PHARMACOLOGY 2020; 393:2439-2452.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effect of (+)-catechin, a polyphenolic compound, on orofacial dyskinesia (OD) induced by reserpine in mice. The potential modulation of monoaminoxidase (MAO) activity, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD67) immunoreactivity by catechin were used as biochemical endpoints. The interaction of catechin with MAO-A and MAO-B was determined in vitro and in silico. The effects of catechin on OD induced by reserpine (1 mg/kg for 4 days, subcutaneously) in male Swiss mice were examined. After, catechin (10, 50 or 100 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) or its vehicle were given for another 20 days. On the 6th, 8th, 15th and 26th day, vacuous chewing movements (VCMs) and locomotor activity were quantified. Biochemical markers (MAO activity, TH and GAD67 immunoreactivity) were evaluated in brain structures. In vitro, catechin inhibited both MAO isoforms at concentrations of 0.34 and 1.03 mM being completely reversible for MAO-A and partially reversible for MAO-B. Molecular docking indicated that the catechin bound in the active site of MAO-A, while in the MAO-B it interacted with the surface of the enzyme in an allosteric site. In vivo, reserpine increased the VCMs and decreased the locomotor activity. Catechin (10 mg/kg), decreased the number of VCMs in the 8th day in mice pre-treated with reserpine without altering other behavioral response. Ex vivo, the MAO activity and TH and GAD67 immunoreactivity were not altered by the treatments. Catechin demonstrated a modest and transitory protective effect in a model of OD in mice.

Abstract
Introduction: Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a hyperkinetic movement disorder that arises as a complication of exposure to dopamine receptor blocking agents. Vesicular monoamine transporter type 2 (VMAT2) inhibitors reduce dyskinesia by decreasing transport of monoamines, including dopamine, into presynaptic vesicles, leaving unpackaged dopamine to be metabolized by monoamine oxidase. Deutetrabenazine was adapted from an earlier VMAT2 inhibitor, tetrabenazine, by substituting three deuterium isotopes in place of three hydrogen isotopes at the site of metabolic degradation to improve upon the pharmacokinetics of the parent compound. Areas covered: The authors reviewed the pivotal trials examining the safety and efficacy of deutetrabenazine, as well as long-term data from an open-label extension. Also reviewed were posters and oral presentations, as well as information from the product label and the United States Food and Drug Administration. Expert opinion: Deutetrabenazine is effective at decreasing dyskinesia in TD, but drug selection and cost-effectiveness between existing VMAT2 inhibitors are evolving areas of study. Other areas of investigation include novel anti-dyskinetic agents and use of deep brain stimulation.

Abstract
Tardive syndrome (TS) is an iatrogenic, often persistent movement disorder caused by drugs that block dopamine receptors. It has a broad phenotype including movement (orobuccolingual stereotypy, dystonia, tics, and others) and nonmotor features (akathisia and pain). TS has garnered increased attention of late because of the Food and Drug Administration approval of the first therapeutic agents developed specifically for this purpose. This paper will begin with a discussion on pathogenesis, clinical features, and epidemiology. However, the main focus will be treatment options currently available for TS including a suggested algorithm based on current evidence. Recently, there have been significant advances in TS therapy, particularly with the development of 2 new vesicular monoamine transporter type 2 inhibitors for TS and with new data on the efficacy of deep brain stimulation. The discussion will start with switching antipsychotics and the use of clozapine monotherapy which, despite the lack of higher-level evidence, should be considered for the treatment of psychosis and TS. Anti-dyskinetic drugs are separated into 3 tiers: 1) vesicular monoamine transporter type 2 inhibitors, which have level A evidence, are approved for use in TS and are recommended first-choice agents; 2) drugs with lower level of evidence for efficacy including clonazepam, Ginkgo biloba, and amantadine; and 3) drugs that have the potential to be beneficial, but currently have insufficient evidence including levetiracetam, piracetam, vitamin B6, melatonin, baclofen, propranolol, zolpidem, and zonisamide. Finally, the roles of botulinum toxin and surgical therapy will be examined. Current therapies, though improved, are symptomatic. Next steps should focus on the prevention and reversal of the pathogenic process.

Abstract
It is likely that tardive dyskinsesia is caused by the oxidation of dopamine in dopaminergic neurons. This oxidation produces oxygen radicals that damage neurons. Damage accumulates until tardive dyskinesia occurs. The use of dopamine D2 receptor inhibitors should be limited to the lowest doses for the shortest duration possible.
