Sensorimotor gating and clinical outcome following cognitive behaviour therapy for psychosis

Relatively intact sensorimotor gating is associated with a good clinical response following a 6-8 months course of NICE compliant CBTp in schizophrenia. Pharmacological or psychological interventions capable of improving PPI may enhance the effectiveness of CBTp in people with schizophrenia, particularly in those who fail to show clinical improvement with currently available antipsychotic drugs and adjunctive CBTp.
