[Anxiolytics and mnemonic ability of the aged subject. Apropos of a double-blind study between tiapride and lorazepam].
Starting from a study of memory performances while prescription in double blind of lorazepam (2 mg/day) versus tiapride (100 mg/day), during ten days, to patients over sixty years of age, the authors try to analyse the links between anxiety, anxiolysis and attention and memory capacities. Results seem to indicate that beyond anxiolysis, these products could have an independent action over memory performances. Statistical trial of results show significantly that performances decrease under lorazepam and increase under tiapride.
