Clinical trials of new antipsychotics: a critical appraisal.

Abstract:

:In recent years the efficacy of new antipsychotics has been investigated through a number of randomized controlled trials. This paper considers some methodological flaws that affect these studies and proposes possible solutions. The final goal is the implementation of a new generation of trials with the aim of demonstrating superiority of effect of the new antipsychotic over the reference one.
