Akathisia: How to Diagnose and Manage?
View through CrossRef
Drug-induced movement disorders include akathisia, extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS), and tardive dyskinesia, each with a prevalence of 30%. Acute dystonia is rarer, occurring in about 5% of cases. Extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS), an outdated term, refer to secondary parkinsonism characterized by bradykinesia, tremors, rigidity, and reduced spontaneous movement. Antipsychotic medications frequently cause tardive dyskinesia, a hyperkinetic movement disorder associated with dopamine receptor blockade.
