title: [Plasmapheresis in the combined treatment of the extrapyramidal neuroleptic syndrome in schizophrenic patients].
abstract: The paper focuses on feasibility of employment of therapeutic plasmapheresis in a combined treatment of complications of psychopharmacotherapy. The use of the above-named approach permitted arresting the chief manifestations of protracted neuroleptic syndrome and succeed in achieving a substantial reduction of extrapyramidal symptomatology in chronic neuroleptic syndrome. The results secured suggest high efficiency of the proposed therapeutic programme and enable us to recommend it for a wide practical use.
