A Case of Oral Cenesthopathy Treated With the Combination of Brexpiprazole and Mirtazapine.
Objectives: Oral cenesthopathy is an uncomfortable and bizarre oral sensation without corresponding organic findings. Although some treatment options, including antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs, have been reported to be effective, the condition remains refractory. Here, we report a case of oral cenesthopathy treated with brexpiprazole, a recently approved D2 partial agonist.
Methods and results: A 57-year-old woman presented with a complained of softened incisors. Furthermore, she could not perform housework because of the discomfort. The patient did not respond to aripiprazole. However, she responded to a combination of mirtazapine and brexpiprazole. The visual analog scale score for the patient's oral discomfort decreased from 90 to 61. The patient's condition improved enough to resume housework.
Conclusions: Brexpiprazole and mirtazapine may be considered for the treatment of oral cenesthopathy. Further investigations are warranted.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Neuropharmacology is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to the pharmacology of the nervous system in its broadest sense. Coverage ranges from such basic aspects as mechanisms of action, structure-activity relationships, and drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, to practical clinical problems such as drug interactions, drug toxicity, and therapy for specific syndromes and symptoms. The journal publishes original articles and brief reports, invited and submitted reviews, and letters to the editor. A regular feature is the Patient Management Series: in-depth case presentations with clinical questions and answers.
