Summary

Despite currently available treatment, a large proportion of patients with bipolar disorder (BD) suffer from affective symptoms, impaired psychosocial and cognitive function. Inflammation seems to be involved in the pathogenesis of BD and preliminary data suggest that low-dose Aspirin may have beneficial effects. The objective of this RCT is to investigate whether add on of low dose aspirin versus placebo add on to standard drug treatment improves mood stabilisation and other critical patient outcomes in patients with BD and whether its principal effects are antimanic, antidepressant or prophylactic against relapse.

randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled trial will investigate whether augmentation with low dose Aspirin to standard drug treatment improve mood stabilization.
