Abstract: | ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the curative effect and prognosis of schizophrenia patients treated with paliperidone extended release tablets. Methods: Totally 72 cases of patients with schizophrenia were divided into the observation group (n=35) and the control group (n=37) according to the order of admission.The obsevation group was treated with paliperidone extended release tablets, while the controll group was treated with risperidone tablets, and both groups were treated for 8 weeks. The positive and negative syndrome scale(PANSS) was used to assess the effect of the two groups, the social function defect scale(SDSS) and prognosis of the two groups were compared.Results:After the 2 week treatment, the PANSS score, positive symptom score, negative symptom score and general symptom score were all decreased in the two groups when compared with those before the treatment(P<0.05),and the scores in the observation group were lower than those in the controll group(P<0.05). After the treatment, the SDSS was significantly reduced in the two groups when compared with that before the treatment(P<0.05), and the reduction in the observation group was more notable than that in the control group(P<0.05). The total effective rate of the observation group was 94.3%, which was higher than that (67.6%) of the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions, such as anxiety and akathisia, and the total adverse drug reactions in the observation group were both lower than those in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion:Paliperidone extended release tablets can effectively relieve suffering from schizophrenia with quick effect, few adverse reactions, high safety and good effect, which is worthy of promotion in clinical use. |
