“…In other words, we should focus on the quality of health care in applying physical restraint on psychiatric patients.

“…We identified 15 eligible publications reporting 13 unique RCTs of olanzapine and seven eligible publications reporting five unique RCTs of olanzapine with a mood stabilizer for acute mania with at least 3 weeks followup. 25,26,31,33,34,[44][45][46][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72] Five were assessed as low risk of bias, five as moderate, and eight as high. Fourteen studies reported being funded by industry.…”

Withdrawals and adverse events tended to show no differences between groups.…”

“…The use of coercive measures is more prevalent in psychiatric settings as the nurses try to control aggressive mentally ill patients from hurting themselves or others 1 .
