✦ Synopsis
Sixteen patients with tardive dyskinesia were treated with vitamin E in an open trial of on±o±on design. Abnormal involuntary movement scale (AIMS) ratings were performed in every phase of the study. The patients exhibited a signi®cant reduction in their mean AIMS score during vitamin E treatment. Thus, this ®nding may suggest a possible role for vitamin E in the treatment of tardive dyskinesia.
