title: [Tiapride and rehabilitation (author's transl)].
abstract: Common obstacles to rehabilitation of patients having suffered severe trauma are lability of attention and relational difficulties with the physician. Major psychopharmaceutic agents often hinder adequate motor function. Tiapride was used in twelve patients with psychological and/or motor difficulties slowing rehabilitation. The average daily dosage was 600 mg orally (divided in three doses of two tablets each), during seven weeks. In three patients, the difficulties disappeared completely. The major problems disappeared in six patients and were improved in one. The treatment failed in two cases. Tolerance was excellent in spite of the poor condition of many of the patients. The only side-effects were marked drowsiness in one patient and negligible drowsiness or insomnia in four.
