Effects of risperidone and aripiprazole on neurocognitive rehabilitation for schizophrenia

Abstract

A synergistic effect of neurocognitive rehabilitation and aripiprazole was observed as improvement of motor speed. In patients treated with aripiprazole, neurocognitive rehabilitation appeared to improve working memory and motor speed. Further studies of synergistic effects of neurocognitive rehabilitation and antipsychotic medication are necessary to verify these findings.
