AVATAR versus cognitive-behavioral therapy for medication-resistant auditory hallucination: a systematic review and network meta-analysis
Overview
This systematic review and network meta-analysis compares the efficacy of AVATAR therapy against cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for treating medication-resistant auditory hallucinations in individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders. The authors analyzed data from 26 randomized controlled trials to evaluate outcomes such as hallucination severity, psychotic symptoms, mood measures, and treatment discontinuation rates. The resource is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in comparative psychological interventions for refractory symptoms.
