[Effect of Dapotum D minor on somatization (unstable stomachs on a vegetative base). 2nd Communication (author's...

This study established that as a result of treatment of fluphenazin dekanoate (Dapotum D minor)--additional to the usual treatment for a nervous unstable stomach--the therapeutical effect could be improved. For this purpose 30 patients underwent a double blind trial for 6 weeks with a "cross over" after 3 weeks. In order to control the therapeutical effects the patients were given special questionnaires and in addition to this they had to answer a memorandum-sheet of self assessment as well as a self rating scale so that the stabilizing of the "vitality level" could be checked. Test data were analysed by variance and covariance analysis. After analysing the medical results by way of statistics the self assessment scale showed that by "unstable stomachs on a vegetative base" an additional treatment with Dapotum D minor achieved superior results over the conventional treatment.
