Abstract

EEG sleep studies in schizophrenic patients are influenced by alterations in clinical state and medication status. The current study defines longitudinal alterations in electroencephalographic (EEG) sleep for 10 healthy men who were schizophrenic patients who remained relatively clinically stable during a double-blind neuroleptic withdrawal study. Clinical assessments and EEG sleep studies were performed at baseline on haloperidol, and then at 2-week and 6-week drug-free periods. Sleep continuity and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep measures declined not only between the haloperidol baseline and 2-week drug-free conditions, but continued to decline from 2-week to 6-weeks neuroleptic-free. Alterations in EEG sleep from the 2-week to 6-week haloperidol-free assessments did not correlate with changes in clinical symptoms suggesting effects related to drug-withdrawal or subclinical state changes. These results show that despite relative clinical stability over time, the EEG sleep of schizophrenic patients continues to change following withdrawal of a neuroleptic and is dependent on the duration of the drug-free interval.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
