To investigate the effects of memantine, an N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, on cognitive impairments in patients with chronic schizophrenia.
A 12-week, placebo-controlled trial was conducted to determine the effectiveness of memantine as an adjunctive treatment with conventional antipsychotic medications in 26 patients with chronic schizophrenia. The subjects were evaluated with the Korean version of the Mini-Mental State Examination (K-MMSE), the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D), and a standard neuropsychological screening test.
Memantine treatment was not associated with significantly improved cognitive test scores compared with the placebo control treatment. An improvement in the scores on the PANSS negative subscale was noted with memantine, but it was not significant.
Adjunctive memantine treatment did not improve cognitive functioning or affect psychopathology in patients with chronic schizophrenia in the present study. Memantine, however, was tolerated well and did not exacerbate positive symptoms in patients with chronic schizophrenia.
研究 N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸(NMDA)受体拮抗剂美金刚对慢性精神分裂症患者认知障碍的影响。
进行了一项为期 12 周的安慰剂对照试验,以确定美金刚作为常规抗精神病药物辅助治疗对 26 例慢性精神分裂症患者的有效性。采用韩国版简易精神状态检查(K-MMSE)、阳性和阴性综合征量表(PANSS)、汉密尔顿抑郁量表(HAM-D)和标准神经心理学筛查测试对受试者进行评估。
与安慰剂对照组相比,美金刚治疗与认知测试评分的显著改善无关。美金刚治疗后 PANSS 阴性量表评分有所改善,但无统计学意义。
在本研究中,美金刚辅助治疗并未改善慢性精神分裂症患者的认知功能或影响精神病理学。然而,美金刚耐受性良好,不会加重慢性精神分裂症患者的阳性症状。
