About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Antipsychotic Combination With Psychosocial Intervention on Outcome of Patients With Schizophrenia:One-Year Follow up.

Antipsychotic alone is limit to improve the overall outcome of schizophrenia and has a high discontinue rate.To solve these problems, we provide practical and available psychosocial intervention. We hypothesize that there will be significant difference in the overall effectiveness between antipsychotic and antipsychotic combination with psychosocial intervention.

Read the detailed description

The study is designed as a national, multicenter, randomized, naturalistic trial, with research assessors intended to be blind to the intervention status.

We plan to recruit 1400 patients at 10 china sites and randomly assign them to two group. the control group only receive antipsychotic and the study group receive antipsychotic combination with psychosocial intervention. The course is 12 months. Patients use one of the seven study drugs (chlorpromazine, sulpiride, clozapine, olanzapine, risperidone, quetiapine, and aripitrazole)to the maintain treatment. The psychosocial intervention include psychoeducation, family intervention, skills training, and cognitive-behavioral therapy. The primary aim is to delineate differences in the overall effectiveness of the two treatment model.The assessments include the outcome of symptomatology,neurobiology,social psychology,medical economics.
