dc.description.abstract | Although negative symptoms were traditionally considered to be unresponsive to neuroleptic medication, recent studies have demonstrated that negative symptoms do improve during neuroleptic treatment and that such improvement tends to occur concurrently with improvement in positive symptoms. Clozapine is an atypical neuroleptic that is effective in a significant proportion of otherwise neuroleptic-nonresponsive schizophrenic patients; in contrast to conventional neuroleptics, clozapine is also purported to possess unique efficacy in the amelioration of negative symptoms. How clozapine-associated reduction in negative symptoms relates to change in positive symptoms is not clear. To study the relationship between change in positive and negative symptoms during clozapine treatment, we monitored symptomatology in 40 DSM-III-R schizophrenic patients before and about 8 weeks after a trial of clozapine. Both positive and negative symptoms improved significantly. There was a significant correlation (r = .63,p <.01) between change in positive symptoms and change in negative symptoms; as with conventional neuroleptics, negative symptoms improved concomitantly with positive symptoms during clozapine treatment. Clozapine's apparent greater efficacy on negative symptoms may be related to its greater efficacy on positive symptoms in otherwise neuroleptic-refractory patients and its lesser propensity to cause extrapyramidal side-effects. | en_US |
