Lewis, Mark H.; And Others
American Journal on Mental Retardation, v100 n6 p654-65 May 1996
The efficacy of the serotonin uptake inhibitor clomipramine in treatment of self-injurious behavior (SIB) was tested using a double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial in eight adults with severe/profound mental retardation. Clomipramine treatment was associated with significant improvement in the frequency of SIB, SIB intensity, and frequency of stereotypy and compulsions. (Author/DB)
