Sandman, Curt A.; And Others
American Journal on Mental Retardation, v95 n1 p93-102 Jul 1990
Four adults with severe/profound mental retardation and self-injurious behavior (SIB) received naltrexone in a double-blind procedure. All patients exhibited decreased SIB when treated with naltrexone; three patients decreased SIB as naltrexone dose increased. There were no consistent effects of naltrexone on stereotypy, activity, or performance on behavior rating scales. (Author/JDD)
