Title

The Effect of a Computer-Assisted Cognitive Remediation on Improving Cognitive Functions in Patients with Schizophrenia: A Before-After Study

Pages

  1-6

Abstract

 Background: Cognitive impairment is a chronic and disabling manifestation of Schizophrenia. Objectives: This before-after study was conducted to examine the effect of a short course computer-assisted Cognitive remediation on improving Cognitive functions of patients with Schizophrenia. Materials and Methods: Twenty patients with Schizophrenia were enrolled into the study. The intervention consisted of 10 onehour sessions held 2-3 times a week, using the Cogpack software that includes tasks to improve attention, memory, and executive function. The patients’ Cognitive functioning was assessed before and after the remediation, using tests in the CANTAB battery, including stop signal task (SST) and choice reaction time (CRT) to assess attention levels, pattern recognition memory (PRM) and Paired associate learning (PAL) to examine memory, and stocking of Cambridge (SOC) and intra-extra dimensional task (IED) to evaluate executive function. Results: IED and SOC revealed a statistically significant improvement in executive function after the intervention. PAL revealed a significantimprovementinmemory functioning inmostaspects after the intervention, whilePRMdid not. CRTshoweda significant improvement in some aspects of attention and concentration after the intervention, while SST did not. Conclusions: This before-after study revealed that a relatively short course of a computer-assisted Cognitive remediation can be applied to improve several aspects of Cognitive functioning in patients with Schizophrenia. A randomized controlled trial is required to establish the effectiveness of the intervention.
