Effectiveness of Psychological Intervention Methods for the Management of Positive and Negative Symptoms in Schizophrenia Patients: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-analysis
Overview
This systematic review and network meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy of eight psychological interventions for managing positive and negative symptoms in schizophrenia, including hallucinations and delusions. The study analyzes data from 100 randomized controlled trials involving over 7,000 patients to compare treatments such as CBT, SST, CRT, MCT+, VRT, ACT, and supportive psychotherapy against treatment-as-usual. It identifies specific interventions effective for distinct symptom subtypes, noting that most psychotherapies outperformed standard care except for ACT and supportive psychotherapy.
