Filter by:The purpose of this study is to test the impact of non-invasive brain stimulation, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), on auditory hallucinations, negative symptoms and cognition in schizophrenia. Clinical measures will be used to assess clinical symptoms and cognitive performance to test the hypothesis that a course of tDCS can reduce auditory hallucinations and negative symptoms in schizophrenia.
An accurate identification of individuals at ultra-high risk (UHR) based on psychometric tools to prospectively identify psychosis as early as possible is required for indicated preventive intervention. The diagnostic comparability of several psychometric tools is unknown. To address the psychometric comparability of the CAARMS, SIPS and BSABS for subjects who are the immediate family and three-generation blood kinship of patients with schizophrenia. To verify the viability and reliability of the three instruments for these subjects. subjects who all are immediate family and three-generation blood kinship of patients with schizophreniawere interviewed. All the subjects were assessed for a UHR state by three psychometric tools including CAARMS, SIPS and BSABS. The psychometric diagnosis results including at risk of psychosis (UHR+), not at risk of psychosis (UHR-), and Psychosis. Demographic and clinical characteristics interviewed by these three instruments were also measured. The inter-rater agreement was assessed for evaluation of the coherence of the three scales. Transition rates of CAARMS, SIPS and BSABS for UCH+ subjects within 2 years were also recorded.There is good diagnostic agreement between the CAARMS, SIPS and BSABS towards identification of UHR subjects who are immediate family and three-generation blood kinship of patients with schizophrenia. Also, these three instruments are reliable and valid for assessing and detecting at risk mental states in these subjects.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Lurasidone initiated with 40mg and 80mg in treatment with acute phase patients with schizophrenia
Case series design with participants with psychosis with a history of interpersonal trauma/abuse and current distressing auditory verbal hallucinations and dissociative experience. Participants were offered up to 24 therapy sessions over a 6-month intervention window.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CY6463 when administered to participants with stable schizophrenia who are on a stable antipsychotic medication regimen
The study aims to explore the hand function in people with schizophrenia in the chronic stage.
Introduction: A poor therapeutic relationship, low insight and lack of motivation are associated with poor adjustment (to symptoms, treatment, and environment) in patients with schizophrenia. In order to achieve better compliance and results, the therapeutic relationship and insight should be developed by increasing the motivation of individuals. Purpose: This study examines the effect of Interpersonal Relations Theory-Based motivational interviews on functional recovery and insight levels of patients with schizophrenia. Methods: This single-blind, randomized controlled study used the simple randomization method and employed a pretest-posttest control group design, which is an experimental research design. The study was conducted at Pamukkale University, Health Research and Application Center, Habib Kızıltaş Psychiatric Hospital from November 2019 to June 2020 and included 40 individuals (20 in the experimental and 20 in the control groups). Study data were collected using a personal information form, the Functional Remission of General Schizophrenia Scale (FROGS) and the Scale for Assessing the Three Components of Insight (SAI). The researchers carried out a 6-session Interpersonal Relations Theory-based motivational interview with the participants in the experimental group. No intervention was made to the control group. The data were analyzed on the basis of pre-intervention, post-intervention and 3 months after the intervention (follow-up).
The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term symptomatic response (Visit 2 [Week 1] to Visit 14/Week 66 [End of Study {EOS}]) measured by change in the Clinical Global Impressions -Severity for Schizophrenia (CGI-SS) in participants with schizophrenia who are treated in Rwandan real-world healthcare settings with the antipsychotic regimen that starts with oral anti-psychotic (AP) formulation followed by continued treatment with (paliperidone palmitate 1-month [PP1M] and 3-month [PP3M] formulations).
This is a randomized, multiple-dose, open-label, parallel-group study. Subjects will undergo screening evaluations to determine eligibility within 28 days prior to study drug administration. Approximately 280 eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio into 1 of 2 treatment groups. Subjects will be admitted to the clinical facilities the day before dosing (Day 0), and will be randomized and receive the first dosing on Day 1. Subjects will stay at site till Day 2 after PK collection. All subjects will return to the clinical sites at designated study days for dosing, PK sample collections and assigned clinical activities. All subjects randomized to LY03010 treatment group will receive the first dose of 351 mg LY03010 by IM injection on Day 1 in the deltoid muscle, followed by five (5) monthly dosing of 156 mg LY03010 in the gluteal muscle with the last dose on Day 141. All subjects randomized to SUSTENNA treatment group will receive the first dose of 234 mg SUSTENNA by IM injection on Day 1 in the deltoid muscle, and a second IM dose of 156 mg SUSTENNA on Day 8 in the deltoid muscle, followed by five (5) monthly IM dosing of 156 mg of SUSTENNA in the gluteal muscle with the last dose on Day 148. End of Study (EOS) visit for LY03010 treatment group will be on Day 169, 28 days after last dosing day; End of Study for SUSTENNA treatment group will be on Day 176, 28 days after last dosing. At EOS visit, subjects will complete the study after a series of assigned clinical assessments. A 30-day follow up call will be conducted by the clinical research staff to ensure participant's well-being.
This pilot randomized controlled trial aims to determine the feasibility, acceptability and preliminary effects of an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-based Lifestyle Counselling Programme (ACT-LCP) on the physical and psychosocial health outcomes of patients with early psychosis over a 12-week follow-up.
