Abstract

Objective: Tardive dyskinesia is a movement disorder commonly caused by antipsychotic medications. This review aims to determine the effectiveness of VMAT-2 inhibitors for the treatment of antipsychotic-induced tardive dyskinesia evaluated by reduction in AIMS scores.

Methods: Twelve articles were used including six systematic trials, one meta-analysis, two placebo-controlled trials, one prospective study, one cross-sectional study, and one assessment manual using the Google Scholar, Pubmed, and Summon. The primary endpoint included relative reduction in AIMS scores in each cohort.

Results: Deutetrabenazine and valbenazine show statistically significant reduction on AIMS scores compared to placebo. Vitamin E as treatment has been researched but little data is available on the effectiveness of treatment.

Conclusions: Through the research, VMAT-2 inhibitors, specifically deutetrabenazine and valbenazine, do result in efficacious treatment of tardive dyskinesia which is seen through statistically significant decrease in AIMS scores.

Keywords: deutetrabenazine, valbenazine, tardive dyskinesia, antipsychotic, VMAT-2 inhibitor, AIMS scores, vitamin E
