Controversy
Ethics of a placebo-controlled trial in severe mania
Abstract:
In October 2005, editors of the IJME learnt that the British Journal of Psychiatry had published a report of a placebo-controlled trial of an atypical anti-psychotic drug. The drug was tested on 290 people experiencing an episode of acute mania. The trial was conducted on in-patients of eight health facilities in India.
