Interventions to improve benzodiazepine tapering success in the elderly: a systematic review

Abstract: Patient education is a successful, time- and cost-effective intervention that can significantly help with benzodiazepine discontinuation success. CBT may also be an effective approach. However, cost can be an issue since public healthcare coverage in Canada does not cover psychotherapy. More research is needed in looking at pharmaceutical adjuvants and their role in assisting with benzodiazepine discontinuation.

“…38 In a recent systematic review of interventions to improve benzodiazepine tapering success, a meta -analysis of 3 RCTs (779 participants in total) evaluating tapering combined with patient education demonstrated a significant increase in the odds of BZRA cessation compared with usual care (odds ratio, 5.94; 95% CI, 3.99-8.83). 45 RCTs have also shown that simple interventions that focus on patient empowerment and self -management have been successful in benzodiazepine deprescribing. 46,47 Interventions can motivate by focusing not only on the risks of continued use, but the potential benefits of stopping (eg, less daytime fatigue).…”
