Risperidone Versus Olanzapine for Mania in Preschool Children 4 to 6 Years of Age With Bipolar Disorder
Non-randomizedParallel-groupSingle-blindTreatment
Summary
The objectives of this study are to study the safety, effectiveness, tolerability and dosing regimen of risperidone, and olanzapine, in the treatment of mania in Bipolar Disorder I and Bipolar II Disorder in preschool children over an 8 week period. We hypothesize that these atypical neuroleptics may be effective in treating pediatric mania, with a lower risk of extrapyramidal side effects.
