To study the short-term effect of treatment with quetiapine on prepulse inhibition (PPI) deficits of the startle reflex in schizophrenia patients.
Using PPI, we studied a group of 21 schizophrenia patients and 16 controls. Seventeen of the patients were re-tested with PPI after 21 days of treatment with quetiapine.
At baseline, an almost significant decrease in PPI was found in the patients as compared to the controls. PPI measurements did not change in the patients after 21 days of treatment with quetiapine, despite their clinical improvement.
Our results suggest that short-term quetiapine treatment may not modify PPI measures in schizophrenia patients.
研究喹硫平治疗对精神分裂症患者惊跳反射前脉冲抑制(PPI)缺陷的短期影响。
使用 PPI,我们研究了一组 21 名精神分裂症患者和 16 名对照者。其中 17 名患者在接受喹硫平治疗 21 天后再次进行 PPI 测试。
在基线时,与对照组相比,患者的 PPI 明显下降。尽管患者的临床症状有所改善,但在接受喹硫平治疗 21 天后,他们的 PPI 测量值并未发生变化。
我们的结果表明,短期喹硫平治疗可能不会改变精神分裂症患者的 PPI 测量值。
