The problem
Intervention: Treatment with aripiprazole compared to other antipsychotic medications
Who it was tested with: 90 children with autism spectrum disorder (45 receiving aripiprazole, 45 receiving other antipsychotics); dose range 2.5-15 mg/day.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"45 of the patients received aripiprazole and 45 received other antipsychotic" with follow-up over two years measuring relapse and discontinuation rates, constituting a comparative design. This represents a quasi-experimental comparison between two treatment groups rather than randomized assignment.
No standardized behavioral measurement scales were used to quantify symptom changes. The study does not specify which other antipsychotics were used in the comparison group. Limited information on adverse effects beyond prolactin levels.
