lüll Self-mutilation and pharmacotherapy Smith BDPsychiatry (Edgmont) 2005[Oct]; 2 (10): 28-37OBJECTIVE: To critically review clinical reports on the pharmacotherapy of self-mutilation. METHODS: PubMed search and review of articles dating back to 1950 contributing to the understanding of self-mutilation and its treatment, with a special focus on pharmacotherapy. Key word searches include self-mutilation, deliberate self-harm, and pharmacotherapy of borderline personality disorder. RESULTS: Clinical reports specifically demonstrating reductions in self-mutilation mainly consist of open studies and case reports. These reports support the use of SSRIs, naltrexone, atypical antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, and clonidine in the treatment of self-mutilation. Better constructed studies demonstrate general reductions in impulsive aggression, often in the context of borderline personality disorder, through treatment with antidepressants, antipsychotics, and mood stabilizers. CONCLUSION: There is evidence, albeit limited, for the pharmacologic management of self-mutilation. Further studies, especially double-blind, placebo-controlled trials, are needed to substantiate these preliminary findings.ä |
