Risperidone was effective for the control of disruptive behavior in children with subaverage intelligence, according to results of a double-blind, parallel group study reported in the August issue of the American Journal of Psychiatry.
“The magnitude of effect was quite pronounced,” write Michael G. Aman and colleagues from the Risperidone Disruptive Behavior Study Group.
In this six-week, multicenter study, 118 children aged 5 to 12 years with severely disruptive behaviors and IQ between 36 and 84 received 0.02 to 0.06 mg/kg per day of risperidone oral solution or placebo.
