Nonpharmacological treatment of dyscognition in schizophrenia: effects 
of aerobic exercise
.

Abstract:

:Cognitive symptoms are a core feature of schizophrenia and are related to an unfavorable disease outcome. So far, there are no satisfactory pharmacological approaches to address cognitive symptoms. For some time now, aerobic exercise has been demonstrated in various trials to be a promising candidate for this indication. The aim of this brief qualitative review was to present the most recent meta-analyses regarding the capacity of exercise to improve cognition in schizophrenia patients. Additionally, we give a short overview of the effects in other conditions, like healthy subjects and patients with major depression. We conducted a focused literature search using the PubMed database, concentrating on meta-analyses which are based on a systematic search. The most recent meta-analysis investigating the efficacy of aerobic exercise on cognitive impairments in schizophrenia patients provides evidence that exercise has positive effects on cognitive functioning in this population. However, the effect seems not to be specific; there were positive findings regarding healthy subjects and patients with depressive disorders as well, even if they were less consistent. As most available trials have a small to modest sample size and have no consensus with regard to the intervention regime, nor to the assessment of cognition, the findings are difficult to generalize. In the future, standardized clinical trials focusing on the long-term effects of exercise are needed to evaluate whether the improvements in cognition are sustainable.
. :Los síntomas cognitivos constituyen una característica central de la esquizofrenia y se relacionan con un resultado desfavorable de la enfermedad. Hasta la fecha, no hay enfoques farmacológicos efectivos para abordar los síntomas cognitivos. Desde hace algún tiempo, se ha demostrado en varios ensayos que el ejercicio aeróbico es un candidato prometedor para esta indicación. El objetivo de esta breve revisión cualitativa fue presentar los resultados de meta-análisis más recientes sobre la capacidad del ejercicio para mejorar la cognición en pacientes con esquizofrenia. Además, se ofrece una breve descripción de los efectos del ejercicio en sujetos sanos y en pacientes con depresión mayor. Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica dirigida en la base de datos PubMed, focalizada en estudios de meta-análisis basados en una revisión sistemática. El meta-análisis más reciente que investiga la eficacia del ejercicio aeróbico en el deterioro cognitivo en pacientes con esquizofrenia proporciona evidencia de que el ejercicio tiene efectos positivos sobre el funcionamiento cognitivo en esta población. Sin embargo, el efecto no parece ser específico; también hubo resultados positivos -aunque menos constantes- en sujetos sanos y en pacientes con trastornos depresivos. Los hallazgos son difíciles de generalizar ya que la mayoría de los ensayos disponibles tienen un tamaño muestral pequeño o moderado y no hay consenso con respecto al tipo de intervención, ni a la evaluación de la cognición. En el futuro, se requiere de ensayos clínicos estandarizados que se centren en los efectos a largo plazo del ejercicio para evaluar si las mejorías en la cognición son duraderas. :Les symptômes cognitifs sont une caractéristique essentielle de la schizophrénie et sont liés à une évolution péjorative de la maladie. Il n’existe pas à ce jour de traitement pharmacologique satisfaisant pour les symptômes cognitifs. Différentes études ont montré depuis un certain temps maintenant, que l’exercice aérobie était prometteur dans cette indication. Cette brève mise au point qualitative a pour but de présenter les méta-analyses les plus récentes sur la capacité d’amélioration de la cognition des patients schizophrènes par l’exercice physique. Nous faisons en outre une revue rapide des effets dans d’autres circonstances comme les sujets sains et les patients souffrant de dépression majeure. Nous nous sommes concentrés sur des méta-analyses basées sur une recherche systématique dans la base de données PubMed pour réaliser une recherche ciblée de la littérature. Les méta-analyses les plus récentes à propos de l’efficacité de l’exercice aérobie sur les déficits cognitifs dans la schizophrénie montrent que l’exercice a des effets positifs sur le fonctionnement cognitif dans cette population. Cependant, ces effets ne semblent pas spécifiques ; les résultats sont également positifs pour les sujets sains et les patients atteints de troubles dépressifs même si ils sont moins constants. Il est difficile de généraliser les résultats car la taille des échantillons de la plupart des études disponibles est petite voire négligeable et il n’y a pas de consensus en ce qui concerne les traitements ni l’évaluation de la cognition. À l’avenir, des études cliniques standardisées sur les effets à long terme de l’exercice sont nécessaires pour évaluer la durabilité des améliorations de la cognition.
