Rehabilitation of Social Cognition in Subjects With Traumatic Brain Injury
Cognition DisordersIn the present study the investigators aim to analyze the performance in a battery of social cognition tests of subjects with traumatic brain injury. On the other hand, the effectiveness of a computerized rehabilitation program designed to improve these deficits will be tested, as well as the relationship between social cognition and executive functioning.
Effect of Vortioxetine on Cognitive Symptoms in Patients With Schizophrenia
Cognitive DeficitResearch goals: Examination of the relationship between the use of vortioxetine and cognitive efficacy in patients with schizophrenia. Examination of the association between the use of vortioxetine and the presence depressive symptoms, physical and social anhedonia in patients with the disease from schizophrenia. Examining the association between vortioxetine use and quality of life (functional recovery) in patients with schizophrenia Expected results (hypotheses) Patients with schizophrenia treated with additional therapy vortioxetine will show better cognitive achievement in memory (short-term and long-term), attention, logical reasoning and reasoning, speed of information processing, processing of visual and sound information, language and speech in relation to patients without additional intervention. Patients with schizophrenia treated with additional therapy vortioxetine will have a less pronounced presence of depressive symptoms, physical and social anhedonia in relation to untreated patients with additional vortioxetine therapy. Patients with schizophrenia who were treated with additional therapy vortioxetine will have a better quality of life, ie. better functional recovery

SchizophreniaObjectives:The purpose of the study is to explore the efficacy and safety of H1-Coil deep brain rTMS in subjects with negative symptoms and cognitive deficits of schizophrenia (deficit syndrome), currently treated with atypical antipsychotics. Patient Population: The intention is to treat 45 patients diagnosed with schizophrenia, who are currently suffering mainly from negative symptoms and cognitive deficits (deficit syndrome). The patients will be of all racial, ethnic and gender categories, ranging from 18 to 65 years of age, and have PANSS negative≥21 and PANSS positive<24. Patients will be recruited from both academic and private research centers. Structure: The study is a randomized, prospective, 8 weeks, double blind study. Blinding: The treatment administrator and the study personnel and patients will be masked to the treatment being administrated. Concurrent Control: The study group will receive active rTMS treatment and the control group will receive an inactive, sham treatment.
