[Results of studies on the use of psychotropic drugs in the treatment of encephalopathies following early childhood brain damage].

Results are reported of three years' experiments on the use of psychotropic drugs in the treatment of 240 encephalopathic children between the ages of 6 and 15 years, who received 322 treatments in the clinic or ambulatory. The authors consider psychotropic drugs a good symptomatic medicament, helping to remove, alleviate or correct symptoms like psychomotor disturbances, distractability of attention, restlessness, tension, anxiety, night enuresis, explosivity, irritability, disturbed sleep etc. Effects of treatment are much better owing to the fact that patients are made more accessible to psychotherapy and psychagogic measures. Chlorpromazine, glutaminic acid and vitamins of the B group were particularly effective in the treatment of motorically excited encephalopaths with a passive attitude towards their surroundings.
