  • Title: Experience with pericyazine in profoundly and severely retarded children.
    Author: Tischler B, Patriasz K, Beresford J, Bunting R.
    Journal: Can Med Assoc J; 1972 Jan 22; 106(2):136-41. PubMed ID: 4400557.
    Abstract:
    The effectiveness of pericyazine in severe behavioural disorders was evaluated in 15 profoundly and severely retarded children. Pericyazine provided significant improvement in such parameters as co-operation, temper, purposeless activities, hyperactivity, communication and mood. It proved to be statistically superior to the minor tranquillizers in improving co-operation and helpfulness, temper, mood, the understanding of commands and table manners, and in reducing self-abusiveness and abusiveness to staff. The safety of this agent was confirmed and photosensitivity was not found to be associated with its use.
