Guideline Watch (march 2013): Practice Guideline for the Treatment of Patients with Obsessive-compulsive Disorder
نویسنده
چکیده
This watch summarizes new evidence and developments since the 2007 publication of the American Psychiatric Association’s Practice Guideline for the Treatment of Patients With Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. The authors of this watch participated in the work group that developed the 2007 guideline (American Psychiatric Association 2007). We find that the guideline remains substantially correct and current in its recommendations. Some recommendations are now supported by stronger evidence, and more data are available regarding rates of response to some interventions. In addition, new rating scales have been developed, and preliminary studies suggest additional treatments or modes of delivery that deserve further study. This watch focuses on controlled trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses but also considers data from small case series or uncontrolled observations. Only those sections of the 2007 guideline for which new treatment-related information is available are covered. This guideline is focused on the treatment of adults only and does not cover the treatment of children and adolescents with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
