While several oral second-generation antipsychotics are Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved for mania, adherence to maintenance treatment is frequently poor due to factors such as anosognosia, cognitive dysfunction, impulsivity, side effects aversion, and substance use. Long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotics, approved for adults with bipolar mania or schizoaffective disorder (bipolar type), offer a potential solution for adolescents with similar conditions. This study reports on the efficacy of LAI antipsychotics in managing bipolar mania in adolescents, tracking outcomes over up to a year with baseline and follow-up Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) assessments. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The study included 116 adolescents with a mean age of 16.17 years (66% male, 48% white, 23% black). Of these, 73% were diagnosed with bipolar mania and 22% with schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type. The mean illness duration was 1.9 years, with a baseline YMRS score of 33.8 and a body mass index (BMI) of 23.4 kg/m². LAI antipsychotics administered included aripiprazole, paliperidone, and risperidone, given at intervals of 1, 2, or 3 months. <b><i>Results:</i></b> YMRS scores showed substantial improvement, declining to 21.7 at 1 month, 12.3 at 2 months, 4.9 at 6 months, and 3.0 at 1 year. Common side effects were increased appetite and weight gain (mean BMI rose to 26.3 kg/m²). There were no dropouts, although 12% of participants switched formulations due to side effects. Notably, 86.2% of adolescents improved sufficiently to return to school or work. While 28.4% experienced depressive episodes, there were no suicide attempts or deaths during the 4- to 14-month follow-up. <b><i>Discussion:</i></b> This study demonstrates that LAI antipsychotics can effectively stabilize adolescents with bipolar mania or schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type, showing a marked decline in YMRS scores and high rates of remission and functional recovery. Despite the lack of FDA approval for LAI antipsychotics in those younger than 18, our results from off-label use suggest significant efficacy and tolerability. Further FDA clinical trials are needed to explore LAI antipsychotic formulations in adolescents to address the needs of this high-risk, nonadherent population.</p>","PeriodicalId":15277,"journal":{"name":"Journal of child and adolescent psychopharmacology","volume":" ","pages":"92-98"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142931891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, data on discontinuing these medications, withdrawal symptoms, and strategies to switch between them are limited. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We searched PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov through June 1, 2024, to identify randomized controlled trials assessing antidepressant discontinuation in youth. We summarized pediatric pharmacokinetic data to inform tapering and cross-titration strategies for antidepressants and synthesized these data with reports of antidepressant withdrawal. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Our search identified 528 published articles, of which 28 were included.

The corpus of records included 13 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials (3026 patients), including SSRIs (K = 10), SNRIs (K = 4), and TCAs (K = 1), ranging from 4 to 35 weeks. Deprescribing antidepressants requires considering clinical status, treatment response, and, in cross-titration cases, the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of both medications. Antidepressant withdrawal symptoms are related to the pharmacokinetics of the medication, which vary across antidepressants and may include irritability, palpitations, anxiety, nausea, sweating, headaches, insomnia, paresthesia, and dizziness. These symptoms putatively involve changes in serotonin transporter expression and receptor sensitivity, impacting the serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine pathways. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Although approaches to deprescribing antidepressants in pediatric patients are frequently empirically guided, accumulating data related to the course of relapse and withdrawal symptoms, as well as the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of medications, should inform these approaches.

This article reviews the current understanding and impact of pain in TS as well as identifies possible areas for emphasis for future research on pain in TS. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Using a comprehensive search strategy in two relevant research databases (PubMed and Scopus), we searched for relevant peer-reviewed, primary research articles, and review articles. Search terms used were Tourette syndrome, tic disorder, pain, pain management, sensory, and sensory gating. <b><i>Results:</i></b> A total of 116 pertinent articles were identified. Pain is reported by 47%-60% of individuals with TS and may relate to different aspects of tic phenomenology or other causes. Pain is more prevalent among TS patients than in the general population and negatively impacts quality of life. To standardize future research efforts, we propose the following classification: tic-related immediate pain, tic-related delayed injury/pain, suppression-related pain, premonitory urge-related pain, and associated primary pain syndromes. Altered sensory gating and interoceptive processing abnormalities are possible mechanisms contributing to pain in TS but warrant further study. Despite pain prevalence, most TS clinical rating scales and outcome measures used in therapeutic studies do not incorporate sufficient information regarding pain. Therapies known to improve pain in non-TS conditions that are also reported to improve tics have not been investigated for their effects on pain among TS patients. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> TS can be associated with a chronic pain syndrome that negatively affects quality of life.
