Acceptability and impact of computerised cognitive training on mental health and cognitive skills in schizophrenia: a double-blind controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Schizophrenia is characterised by pervasive cognitive deficits that significantly impair daily functioning and quality of life. Pharmacological treatments have limited efficacy in addressing these deficits, highlighting the need for adjunctive interventions like computerised cognitive training (CCT).

Aims

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a 30-session CCT programme on mental well-being and cognitive performance in individuals with schizophrenia. Additionally, it assessed the usability and acceptability of CCT in this population.

Methods

A double-blind, randomised clinical trial was conducted with 54 participants assigned to intervention and control groups. Cognitive and mental health outcomes were assessed using validated tools such as the Depress
