Schizophrenia is a disabling complex mental disorder and despite all available treatment, many patients unfortunately remain partial- or non-responders. A large body of research has shown that oxytocin is an important prosocial peptide and there is initial evidence that the central oxytocin system is altered in several mental disorders. The aim of this study was to test the efficacy of oxytocin, as augmentation therapy, in a sample of patients with schizophrenia.

Abstract
Schizophrenia is a disabling complex mental disorder and despite all available treatment, many patients unfortunately remain partial- or non-responders. A large body of research has shown that oxytocin is an important prosocial peptide and there is initial evidence that the central oxytocin system is altered in several mental disorders. The aim of this study was to test the efficacy of oxytocin, as augmentation therapy, in a sample of patients with schizophrenia.File in questo prodotto:
