Abstract
SUMMARY A modification of an earlier rating scale for extrapyramidal system disturbance is described, and evidence for the validity and reliability of the scale is presented. The usefulness of the scale in studies of neuroleptic drugs is discussed. By its application it is possible to quantify extrapyramidal side effects and to separate them into four principal factors.

The St. Hans Rating Scale for extrapyramidal syndromes: reliability and validity.

TL;DR: The St. Hans Rating Scale (SHRS) is concluded that the SHRS represents an easily completed, reliable, valid and sensitive rating scale for extrapyramidal symptoms that can be used with and without videotapes and divergent validity between all of the other scales.

Atypical antipsychotics for disruptive behaviour disorders in children and youths

TL;DR: The aim was to evaluate each drug separately rather than the class effect, on the grounds that each atypical antipsychotic has different pharmacologic binding profile and that this is clinically more useful.

Amisulpride, an atypical antipsychotic, in the treatment of acute episodes of schizophrenia: a dose-ranging study vs. haloperidol

TL;DR: It is concluded that amisulpride 400 mg and 800 mg/day is highly effective in treating the positive symptoms of schizophrenia, with less extrapyramidal side‐effects than haloperidol 16 mg/ day.

Aripiprazole once-monthly for treatment of schizophrenia: double-blind, randomised, non-inferiority study

TL;DR: Aripiprazole once-monthly 400mg was non-inferior to oral aripipazole, and the reduction in Kaplan–Meier estimated impending relapse rate at week 26 was statistically significant.

Idazoxan and response to typical neuroleptics in treatment-resistant schizophrenia. Comparison with the atypical neuroleptic, clozapine.

TL;DR: The addition of idazoxan to fluphenazine treatment resulted in significant reductions of global psychosis and total, positive and negative symptoms on the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale, compared to neuroleptic treatment alone.
