What Researchers Did
Researchers studied 84 patients with obsessive-compulsive neurosis and generalized tic disease to compare the effectiveness of a complex therapy (mexidol, thymogen, hyperbaric oxygenation) against traditional psychopharmacological treatment.
What They Found
The study involving 84 patients found that those with obsessive-compulsive neurosis and generalized tic disease exhibited dysfunction in immune reactions and endocrine systems. A complex therapy combining mexidol, thymogen, and hyperbaric oxygenation showed significantly higher psychopharmacological effects compared to traditional treatment with neuroleptics and benzodiazepine anxiolytics.
Canadian Relevance
This study has no direct Canadian connection as it was conducted outside of Canada.
Study Limitations
A limitation of this study is its relatively small sample size of 84 patients and its single-center nature.
