TRAMADOL PATENTED FOR OCD AND OTHER DISORDERS
The University of Cincinnati has received a patent for the use of the painkiller tramadol (Ultram), for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and other disorders, such as eating disorders, body dysmorphic disorder and Tourette's syndrome. The researchers began investigation of tramadol after treating a patient with severe OCD and
Tourette's disorder. The patient experienced significant improvement within 24 hours. "All the patients we have studied have had anywhere from 25-65 percent relief from their symptoms," said Nathan Shapira, M.D., a former resident of the UC Department of Psychiatry. The drug is not yet approved by the FDA for use in treating OCD and other disorders. [PR Newswire]

to discribe a new, untested treatment sill in the
early stages.
