Clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of tardive dyskinesia in Europe: A descriptive review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While evidence-based clinical practice guidelines promote high-quality care, their absence may create unwarranted variation in disease management, leading to suboptimal outcomes. This study aimed to identify existing clinical practice guidelines for tardive dyskinesia (TD) in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom (EU4+UK), assessing the evidence for recommended TD treatments.

Methods

MEDLINE, PubMed, and other sources (e.g., government/public agencies, associations, patient/research organizations) were searched to identify clinical practice guidelines for TD published between January 2000 and February 2025 in EU4+UK. Mentions of TD treatments in identified documents were classified as "recommendations" or "descriptions." Recommendations were ranked
