摘要
Objective: This open label study examined the effects of ramelteon on cognitive functions in 10 outpatients with schizophrenia, Methods: Ramelteon (8 mg/day) was administered to 10 patients with schizophrenia for six months, The verbal fluency test, Trail Making Test, the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, the Stroop Test, the Digit Span Distraction Test, Iowa Gambling Task, the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test were evaluated at baseline and 6 months after treatment with ramelteon, Results: Ramelteon improved significantly the scores of Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test. Additionally, ramelteon exerted improvements in the verbal fluency and Iowa Gambling Task in 4 patients. Conclusion: Ramelteon could be a potential therapeutic drug, in adjunctive treatment of learning and memory deficits seen in patients with schizophrenia.
