Schizophrenia Clinical Trial
Official title:
Dopaminergic Modulation of Prefrontal Functions in Schizophrenic Patients: Adjuvant Therapy With Pergolide
The objective of this study is to compare the modulation of pergolide, a D1/D2 receptor agonist, to placebo in non-acute schizophrenic subjects under concomitant therapy with atypical antipsychotics on specific PFC functions. Further aims are to assess the influence of pergolide on psychopathology and extrapyramidal symptoms in comparison to placebo.
