Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to adapt and apply a psychological program aimed at improving cognitive reserve (CR) in bipolar patients who have recently presented a first episode of the illness. The purpose of this project is to test both the effectiveness of the psychological intervention as well as the stability of the obtained results after nine months of follow-up. One-hundred and twenty patients (60 patients each centre) will be recruited and assessed with clinical, functioning, quality of life, neuropsychological and RC assessment tools. Then, participants will be randomly assigned to two different conditions: the experimental one, consisting in the implementation of the psychological intervention aiming at improving CR (n=60), and the control one, in which the usual pharmacological treatment will be carried on (n=60). Once the psychological intervention has finished (3 months) re-assessment of all the explored variables at baseline will be performed. Finally, after 12 months from the baseline visit, a re-assessment of all the participants in the study will be carried out to verify that post-intervention obtained results remain stable throughout the complete follow-up period. The investigators hypothesized that patients with a recent first episode who have undergone the intervention program will improve their CR as well as measures related to the severity of the difficulties observed at baseline concerning clinical, functioning, quality of life and neurocognitive performance. A second hypotheses is that all these changes will remain stable after nine month follow-up.
