Experimental: Intervention
Participants receive Naproxen Sodium.
|
Drug: Naproxen Sodium
Dosed by weight (10mg/kg), twice daily, for 8 weeks
|
|
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Participants receive placebo.
|
Other: Placebo
Participants take placebo pills twice daily, for 8 weeks.

Inclusion Criteria:
Patients must also meet all criteria for PANDAS, which are:
The onset/exacerbation of OCD symptoms must also be accompanied by at least three of the following clinical signs and symptoms, including:
These co-occurring symptoms must be "severe" or "dramatic" and proceed from no/minimal symptoms to maximum severity within the same 24-48 hour interval during which the OCD symptoms arose. In addition to these inclusion criteria, PANDAS subjects will be required to provide documentation of a positive GAS infection via medical records. As the time between a documented GAS infection and the onset of PANDAS symptoms has not been defined in the PANDAS diagnostic criteria, the investigators will use a guideline of approximately six weeks or less between a documented GAS infection and the onset of OCD symptoms for inclusion into the study.

| Official Title ICMJE | Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial of Naproxen Sodium for the Treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Symptoms in Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated With Streptococcal Infections (PANDAS) | ||||||
| Brief Summary | This project aims to rigorously evaluate a potential treatment for inflammation-related Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) symptoms in children. To accomplish this goal, the investigators will conduct a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of Naproxen Sodium, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) in participants diagnosed with Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcal infections (PANDAS). This research fills a gap in the empirical evidence base for the treatment of PANDAS, and will add to a growing literature of empirically-derived practices for PANDAS. | ||||||
| Detailed Description | The investigators propose to systematically evaluate the effects of naproxen sodium on anti-obsessional and behavioral improvement and conduct the first randomized controlled trial of naproxen sodium in the treatment of children with PANDAS. The study will involve an 8-week, double-blinded randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of naproxen sodium (10mg/kg, by mouth, twice a day) versus placebo to treat OCD symptoms in children with PANDAS. The investigators will acquire completed data on 44 children with PANDAS for this pilot study (i.e., 22 randomized to active treatment; 22 randomized to placebo). Outcome will be assessed comparing pre- and post-treatment OCD symptom severity using a standardized, clinician-administered interview assessing OCD symptoms by an independent rater blind to treatment assignment. | ||||||
