To compare the effects of cariprazine and risperidone on biopsychosocial outcomes in individuals with schizophrenia.
Randomized controlled trial with 65 adults diagnosed with schizophrenia
Participants received either cariprazine or risperidone for 10 weeks
Primary endpoints assessed include BPRS and PANSS scores; secondary endpoints include WHOQOL-BREF, SOFS, and ASEX scores
Correlation analyses were performed to evaluate the relationship between symptom severity and biopsychosocial outcomes.
Both antipsychotics had comparable PANSS-total scores after 10 weeks (P = 0.931)
Cariprazine showed significantly lower negative symptoms (P < 0.001) and improved social relationship scores (P = 0.001)
BPRS changes favored risperidone (P < 0.001)
Trends in ASEX scores favored cariprazine
Strong correlations observed between symptom reductions and WHOQOL-general and psychological health domains (r ≈ −0.9, P < 0.001).
