Abstract:Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of paliperidone palmitate in the treatment of schizophrenia. Methods 36 patients with schizophrenia were recruited as study group, while another 33 patients with the same diagnosis, same sex, age differences≤5 and PANSS score differences≤5 were as control group. The study group was given paliperidone palmitate by intramuscular injection every month; while the control group was given paliperidone tablets once a day per os, and the dose was gradually increased to 9 mg/d within one week. The PANSS score, efficacy and adverse events were observed in the two groups. Results The PANSS scores at different times before and after treatment in the two groups showed significantly differences (F=307.8, P<0.01) ; while the decreased score of PANSS between the two groups showed no significant difference (F=3.557, P=0.06); 24 weeks after treatment, 26 cases in the study group showed effecacy, with an effective rate of 81.3%, no case relapsed; 26 cases in the control group showed effecacy, 1 case recurred, with an effective rate of 84.4%, The difference of effective rate between the two groups was not statistically significant (P=0.740); the incidence of adverse events was no statistically significant (P=0.800). Conclusions The effecacy of paliperidone palmitate in schizophrenia is quite obvious, and is not inferior to oral paliperidone, and its adverse reactions are few, it is a good choice to use paliperidone palmitate as a treatment of schizophrenia.
