Abstract

Cognitive remediation therapy (CRT) has emerged as a promising intervention for schizophrenia, aiming to improve cognitive functioning and enhance daily functioning in individuals with the disorder. This meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluates the efficacy of CRT in improving cognitive deficits and functional outcomes in individuals with schizophrenia. Through an extensive literature review, the meta-analysis synthesizes effect sizes from RCTs assessing the effectiveness of CRT compared to control conditions (e.g., treatment as usual, supportive therapy) 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, intensity, adjunctive interventions, and participant characteristics (e.g., age, duration of illness), to better understand the factors influencing the effectiveness of CRT for schizophrenia.
