Long-term efficacy of a psychological intervention program for patients with refractory bipolar disorder: A pilot study. Psychiatry Res. 2010 Jan 21; Authors: González-Isasi A, Echeburúa E, Mosquera F, Ibáñez B, Aizpuru F, González-Pinto A The aim of this research was to test the long-term efficacy of combined standard treatment (pharmacotherapy and adjunctive psychosocial treatment based on a cognitive-behavioral model) compared with standard drug treatment for patients with recurrent bipolar disorder. Twenty patients selected according to DSM-IV-TR criteria were randomized to 1) combined treatment or 2) control treatment. A multigroup experimental design with repeated assessment measures (pre-treatment, post-treatment, 6-month follow-up, and 12-month follow-up) was used. Results of the repeated measurement analysis showed a significant increment in scores of Global Activity Functioning within the combined treatment group during the follow-up, which was not observed in the control treatment group. Therefore, the effectiveness of psychotherapy tends to increase with time, and this improvement is not significant until 12 months of follow-up. PMID: 20096466 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]  The TS-Si Research Service consolidates information on research initiatives and findings relevant to the misalignment of brains and anatomical sex. The service tracks key scientific and medical developments from early consideration of research opportunities and published findings through practical application in clinical settings.Researchers and students from qualifying institutions regularly receive special emailings from TS-Si that consist of abstracts and other materials that support their interest areas.
