Article Synopsis
- Antipsychotic-induced catatonia (AIC) and neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) are serious and potentially life-threatening side effects associated with antipsychotic medications, prompting a systematic review to understand their characteristics and connections.
- The review analyzed 410 full-text articles from over 4,000 records, focusing on 165 documented cases of AIC and NMS, with findings indicating a strong prevalence of schizophrenia and common comorbid conditions among affected individuals.
- Results revealed that these adverse reactions often occurred during the use of second-generation antipsychotics, and the overlapping symptoms between AIC and NMS suggest a potential clinical continuum between these two syndromes.
