Efficacy and acceptability of adjunctive n-acetylcysteine for psychotic disorders: Systematic review and meta-analysis
Introduction
N-acetylcysteine (NAC) augmentation of antipsychotic medication has been studied in psychotic disorders but the results are inconsistent. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and acceptability of NAC as an augmentation strategy for psychotic disorders.
Methods
PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched until the date of November 28, 2022. The inclusion criteria were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing NAC and placebo in patients with psychotic disorders. The outcomes were the psychotic symptoms measured by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and drop-out rates.
Results
A total of 594 patients from eight trials were included. The results showed that no difference was found in score changes of PANSS total, positive, negative, or general psychopathology scale scores between the NAC group and placebo group in both time points (≤24 weeks and >24 weeks). There was also no statistical difference in drop-out rates between the two groups.
Conclusion
For the moment, it is not appropriate to recommend NAC as an augmentation of antipsychotic medication to treat psychotic disorders in routine clinical practice.
期刊介绍:
Human Psychopharmacology: Clinical and Experimental provides a forum for the evaluation of clinical and experimental research on both new and established psychotropic medicines. Experimental studies of other centrally active drugs, including herbal products, in clinical, social and psychological contexts, as well as clinical/scientific papers on drugs of abuse and drug dependency will also be considered. While the primary purpose of the Journal is to publish the results of clinical research, the results of animal studies relevant to human psychopharmacology are welcome. The following topics are of special interest to the editors and readers of the Journal:
-All aspects of clinical psychopharmacology-
Efficacy and safety studies of novel and standard psychotropic drugs-
Studies of the adverse effects of psychotropic drugs-
Effects of psychotropic drugs on normal physiological processes-
Geriatric and paediatric psychopharmacology-
Ethical and psychosocial aspects of drug use and misuse-
Psychopharmacological aspects of sleep and chronobiology-
Neuroimaging and psychoactive drugs-
Phytopharmacology and psychoactive substances-
Drug treatment of neurological disorders-
Mechanisms of action of psychotropic drugs-
Ethnopsychopharmacology-
Pharmacogenetic aspects of mental illness and drug response-
Psychometrics: psychopharmacological methods and experimental design
