Abstract：
:Evidence from experimental and clinical studies suggests the involvement of the endogenous opioid system in several neurologic and psychiatric disorders (Alzheimer's, Huntington's and Parkinson's diseases, drug-induced movement disorders, Gilles de la Tourette syndrome, stroke, ischemia, brain and spinal cord injury, epilepsy, schizophrenia and affective disorders). However, its involvement is rather a secondary one, perhaps being a severe consequence of a primary, nonopioid disturbance. Thus, treatment of an opioidergic manifestation of a disorder of nonopioidergic origin is necessarily symptomatic and targets only the restoration of the opioid system; such treatment may be beneficial in ameliorating the clinical symptoms of the disorder.
