Impact of the Unified Protocol on Attenuated Psychotic Symptoms, Cognitive Biases and Cognitive Insight in Patients at Ultra High Risk (UHR) for Psychosis: Secondary Results of a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
The UP intervention showed promising effects in reducing distress related to attenuated psychotic symptoms and cognitive biases, but not in improving cognitive insight. Given the small sample size, which fell below the initial target, and the pilot nature of the study, these findings should be interpreted with caution and considered preliminary until replicated in adequately powered trials.
