QUESTIONS OF CORRECTION OF NEUROCOGNITIVE DEFICIENCY AT SCHIZOPHRENIA OF СOMORBIDE CANNABINOID ABUSE

Abstract

56 patients (F 20.0; F12.0 on ICD -10) were examined for the purpose of the solution of the matter of correction of neurocognitive deficiency at schizophrenia of comorbide cannabinoid abuse. All patients were divided into groups: main group (MG) included the patients accepting an adequate pharmacotherapy and performing trainings of cognitive deficiency (28 people); the control group (CG) included the patients receiving only a pharmacotherapy. Average age of examinees made 23 ± 4 years. The informed voluntary consent to participation in research was used. The following methods were used: technique of determination of short-term memory, technique «random access memory», labyrinths test (D. Wechsler, 1955), PANSS scale. Design of research: primary examination of patients was conducted at the first visit, prior to carrying out neurocognitive trainings; the repeated - in 4 months, after the end of training programs in CG. As a result of neurocognitive training the positive dynamics of indicators reflecting a reduction of neurocognitive deficiency is registered: rising of concentration of attention, volume of a long-term memory, improvement of general picture, reduction of negative symptomatology.
