[Treatment of acute schizophrenic stupor: the effect of biperiden (author's transl)].

Abstract

The study reports about the intravenous application of Biperiden at patients with acute hypokinetic reaction suffering from schizophrenia of the paranoid-hallucinatory type. In all of the six cases examined a fast abolition of the stupor could be observed. The pathophysiological mechanisms deriving from our clinical experiences are discussed. Furthermore, a therapeutic procedure is suggested to treat acute schizophrenic stupor merely with drugs.
