Objectives:
Cognitive remediation interventions are effective in patients with schizophrenia, but the durability of their effects is still under debate. This study aimed to investigate the 1-year persistence of the effectiveness of cognitive remediation.
Methods:
Patients with schizophrenia treated with cognitive remediation or usual rehabilitation were reassessed with clinical, neuropsychological and functional measures 1year after cognitive remediation.
Results:
At the 1-year follow-up, the advantages of cognitive remediation remained significant for clinical variables and specific cognitive domains. Functional measures showed increasing improvement at follow-up.
Conclusions:
The study suggests that the effectiveness of cognitive remediation in schizophrenia persists after 1year.
