Diagnostics and Therapy of Tardive Dyskinesias (Syndrome)
Abstract
Tardive dyskinesias (TD) are a burden in the lives of the patients, because they are, in most cases, irreversible. The prevalence of TD is 25,3 % with lower rates observed in patients taking second-generation antipsychotics than in those taking first-generation antipsychotics. The emergence of new drugs from the class of vesicular monoamine transporter type 2 (VMAT-2) inhibitors has created an opportunity to manage this syndrome. A representative of this class is tetrabenazine, the only drug from this group available in Russia. This article presents an overview of the experience of diagnostics and prophylactics of TD and an analysis of the therapy of this syndrome based on four studies, including two randomized control trials (RCTs), one retrospective study, and one systematic review with meta-analysis. The publications were collected in July 2024 from the databases: PubMed, Web of Science и Google Scholar. Literature sources were searched using a combination of keywords: tetrabenazine, vesicular monoamine transporter 2 inhibitors, VMAT-2, treatment of tardive dyskinesias, treatment of tardive syndrome, tardive dyskinesias + tetrabenazine. The search was conducted in English and Russian using keyword synonyms, as well as the MeSH for PubMed. Initially, 72 studies were found. It was revealed that one of the most important stages of TD therapy is the prevention of this syndrome by adjusting modifiable risk factors. Tetrabenazine can be used in addition to the main therapy as the third-line agent. Studies examining tetrabenazine are scarce. According to the two RCTs, tetrabenazine intake was associated with a reduction in TD symptoms, and a retrospective study on a small sample of patients also showed improvement by the CGI scale. All the studies conducted had significant methodological limitations and a high likelihood of systematic bias. No evidence base was found for other treatment options. The review includes information on the diagnosis and classification of TD. Based on this study, the following conclusions were made: TD prevention should be carried out prior to each case of antipsychotic prescription; there is an algorithm for the treatment of TD, in which tetrabenazine is the third-line agent and can be used as an additional therapy for TD management.
