BRIEF REPORTS

The treatment of perceptual disturbances in schizophrenia with naloxone hydrochloride

AA Kurland, OL McCabe, TE Hanlon and D Sullivan

The authors treated 12 schizophrenic patients who had overt hallucinatory symptoms with intravenously administered naloxone hydrochloride, a narcotic antagonist purported to have antihallucinatory properties. They found no evidence of the effectiveness of naloxone in preventing hallucinations over that of placebo when administered in a randomized, double-blind fashion.
