Pharmacological treatment is often disappointing due to partial response and frequent poor tolerance to neuroleptic drugs which are otherwise the most effective therapy so far. Aim: To report a lasting improvement obtained with a new drug, aripiprazole that acts modulating both dopaminergic and serotoninergic neurotransmission. Material and methods: Ten patients refractory to their usual therapy, aged 10 to 35 years, were switched to aripiprazole in an open trial. Results: Nine of the 10 patients showed a significant response assessed by the Yale severity tics rating scale and the clinical global impression scale (p <0.01). No relevant adverse effects were observed. Conclusions: Aripiprazole may be a good pharmacological option for patients with Tourette syndromeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSociedad Médica de SantiagoRevista médica de Chile v.135 n.6 20072007-06-01text/htmlhttp://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0034-98872007000600013es10.4067/S0034-98872007000600013
