Background: In a previous meta-analysis, the use of serotonin(5-HT) receptor partial agonists of the azapirone class as an add-on therapy was associated with beneficial effects on positive symptoms and attention/processing speed in schizophrenia patients. This meta-analysis builds on that study by examining the effects of adjunctive treatment with 5-HT partial agonists in improving other domains of neurocognitive function in schizophrenia patients.
Methods: A literature search was performed from 1987 to May 2023 to identify randomized controlled trials.

Cognitive impairment is a prominent clinical manifestation of vascular depression (VaDep). The current study aimed to assess the efficacy of tandospirone citrate in VaDep cases with mild cognitive impairment (VaDep-MCI) as well as the role of plasma monoamine neurotransmitters during the treatment. In this single-blind, randomized controlled study, 116 participants were randomly assigned to the tandospirone (tandospirone citrate-escitalopram) and control (escitalopram) groups.

Background: There are ongoing efforts to examine the effect of 5-HT1A receptor partial agonists as an add-on therapy for several symptoms of schizophrenia. By conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis, we evaluated whether augmentation with 5-hydroxtrypatamine (5-HT)1A partial agonists of the azapirone class improves psychotic symptoms and attention/processing speed, a key domain of cognition, in patients with schizophrenia.
Methods: A literature search was performed from 1987 to February 25, 2022, to identify randomized controlled trials.

Opioid analgesics are widely used to treat acute, postoperative, and chronic pain. However, opioid receptor activation can result in severe respiratory depression. In this study, we demonstrated that Tandospirone (TS), a selective serotonin-1A receptor partial agonist, is effective against opioid-induced respiratory depression.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of tandospirone, an azapirone anxiolytic similar to buspirone that is used in Japan, for behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), especially in oldest-old patients.
Methods: This was an open-label observational study involving residents with BPSD in a special elderly nursing home between August 2013 and August 2018. The severity of dementia was assessed using the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) scale; as the main outcomes, the severity of BPSD was assessed using the Clinical Global Impressions-Severity scale (CGI-S) and Neuropsychiatric Inventory-12 (NPI-12) at baseline and 4 weeks after the maintenance dose of tandospirone was reached.
