Deutetrabenazine for tardive dyskinesia in people with intellectual disabilities
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether deutetrabenazine, a medication already used for tardive dyskinesia, can help people who also have intellectual or developmental disabilities. It aims to see if the drug reduces uncontrolled movements safely over 24 weeks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Diagnosis of intellectual or developmental disability (IQ below 70, started before age 22)
- Tardive dyskinesia for at least 3 months
- Stable doses of any psychiatric medications for the past 3 months and willing to keep them stable for 24 weeks
- No previous treatment with tetrabenazine, valbenazine, or deutetrabenazine

This study tests whether a medicine called memantine (already used for memory problems) can help people with Down syndrome think and remember better. Researchers will try different doses to find what works best and is safest.
This trial tests whether an oral medication, NBI-1065890, can reduce the involuntary muscle movements caused by long-term use of antipsychotic drugs. It is for adults with moderate to severe tardive dyskinesia who also have a stable mental health condition like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.
This study tests if valbenazine helps adults with tardive dyskinesia whose symptoms continue even after taking or stopping another similar medication. Tardive dyskinesia involves uncontrollable movements from long-term use of certain mental health drugs.
This study looks at how people with tardive dyskinesia (a movement disorder) who have never been treated engage with their care. It aims to understand their patterns and experiences, which may help improve future treatment approaches.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), targeted precisely using brain imaging, can safely reduce the involuntary movements caused by some psychiatric medications. If you have tardive dyskinesia, this treatment might help improve your motor symptoms.
This study tests an experimental once-daily tablet for moderate-to-severe tardive dyskinesia, a condition causing uncontrollable repetitive movements. It aims to see if the drug is safe and reduces these symptoms over time.
