Prescribing Trends and Associated Outcomes of Antiepileptic Drugs and Other Psychotropic Medications in US Nursing Homes: Proposal for a Mixed Methods Investigation

Prescribing Trends and Associated Outcomes of Antiepileptic Drugs and Other Psychotropic Medications in US Nursing Homes: Proposal for a Mixed Methods Investigation

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), patient advocacy groups, and others have taken significant steps to curb inappropriate antipsychotic use in vulnerable older adults [3-5]. In 2012, the CMS debuted the National Partnership to Improve Dementia Care in Nursing Homes, an initiative that included targeted efforts to reduce antipsychotic use among nursing home residents with Alzheimer disease (AD) or AD-related dementias (ADRD) [1].

Use of an Ingestible, Sensor-Based Digital Adherence System to Strengthen the Therapeutic Relationship in Serious Mental Illness

Use of an Ingestible, Sensor-Based Digital Adherence System to Strengthen the Therapeutic Relationship in Serious Mental Illness

Specific approval of the ingestible sensor system with the atypical antipsychotic aripiprazole was obtained in 2017 [10,11]. Aripiprazole, originally approved for use in schizophrenia [12], is also currently approved for use as an adjunct or monotherapy in bipolar I mania [13-17] and major depressive disorder [18]. Approval of digital aripiprazole included the use of an app tailored specifically for patients with serious mental illness under the name Abilify Mycite System [19].

A Digital Intervention Using Daily Financial Incentives to Increase Medication Adherence in Severe Mental Illness: Single-Arm Longitudinal Pilot Study

A Digital Intervention Using Daily Financial Incentives to Increase Medication Adherence in Severe Mental Illness: Single-Arm Longitudinal Pilot Study

A very recent study explored the use of financial incentives to increase oral antidepressant adherence [26], and 2 studies have focused on antipsychotic medication [27,28], both limited to long-acting injectables. To our knowledge, no study to date has examined the effects of financial incentives on adherence to neuropsychiatric treatments including oral antipsychotic medication.

Treatments for Primary Delusional Infestation: Systematic Review

Treatments for Primary Delusional Infestation: Systematic Review

A more recent systematic review reported similar results; there was no strong evidence to suggest any single antipsychotic agent over another [12]. Both of these reviews restricted their search strategy to antipsychotics; however, other pharmacological agents may also prove effective in treating delusional infestation.
