Abstract

Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT) has emerged as a promising intervention for addressing cognitive deficits in individuals with schizophrenia, aiming to improve cognitive functioning and functional outcomes. This meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluates the efficacy of CRT in enhancing cognitive abilities and functional outcomes in individuals with schizophrenia. Through a comprehensive review of the literature, the meta-analysis synthesizes effect sizes from RCTs assessing the effectiveness of CRT compared to control conditions (e.g., treatment as usual, active control interventions) in targeting cognitive domains such as attention, memory, executive function, and social cognition. Additionally, it examines potential moderators of treatment outcomes, such as treatment duration, session frequency, therapist involvement, and participant characteristics (e.g., duration of illness, symptom severity), to better understand the factors influencing the effectiveness of CRT for schizophrenia.
