biostudies-literatureUnknown14Lin RSchizophrenia is often associated with a remarkably increased risk of violence, which has become a public health concern and brought a great economic burden. Recent studies have reported changes in the electroencephalograms (EEG) of patients with schizophrenia. The evidence for an association between EEG and violence in patients with schizophrenia is not conclusive. This study aimed to investigate EEG microstates in violent patients with schizophrenia. Forty-three violent patients with schizophrenia (the VS group) and 51 non-violent patients with schizophrenia (the NVS group) were included, and their EEG microstates were recorded using 21-Channel EEG recordings. The two groups were compared for differences of four microstate classes (A-D) with regards to three microstate parameters (duratiFrontiers in psychiatry1082481https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9950110biostudies-literatureAbnormalities in electroencephalographic microstates among violent patients with schizophrenia.PMC9950110Liu ZLin RCao HHu YZhong SSun QGuo HZhang XLi QWang XZhou JfalseAbnormalities in electroencephalographic microstates among violent patients with schizophrenia.Schizophrenia is often associated with a remarkably increased risk of violence, which has become a public health concern and brought a great economic burden.
