Neurological soft signs in adolescents with first episode psychosis.
The purpose of this study is to determine the decrease of neurological soft signs (NSS) during adolescence and to compare this evolutionary process in two groups of adolescents with first episode psychosis: a) schizophrenia and b) non-schizophrenia patients.

The numbers of NSS at inclusion and at 2 years follow-up were similar, but there was a significant increase in the numbers of NSS in the sub-group of patients whose dosage of antipsychotic medication had increased over time.
متن کاملNeurological soft signs in Tunisian patients with first-episode psychosis and relation with cannabis use

We aimed to explore the relationship between NSS and cannabis use, an environmental risk factor of psychosis. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study in consecutively admitted patients hospitalized f...
متن کاملCerebellar substructures and neurological soft signs in first-episode schizophrenia.
A subtle impairment of motor coordination and sensory integration functions is frequently found in schizophrenia. Clinically these deficits present as neurological soft signs (NSS). Because of its crucial role in motor function, control of muscle tone and equilibrium, the cerebellum is likely to be involved in the appearance of NSS. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed in 30 patients ...
