Registered outcomes2
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Change in Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) Total Score | Baseline (Week 0) and Week 8 | The PANSS is a standardized tool used to measure the severity of schizophrenia symptoms, including positive symptoms (hallucinations, delusions), negative symptoms (social withdrawal, lack of motivation), and general psychopathology symptoms. The primary outcome will be the mean change in PANSS total score from baseline to the 8-week follow-up, assessing the effectiveness of melatonin in reducing schizophrenia symptoms. |
| Secondary | Change in PANSS Negative Symptom Subscale Score | Baseline (Week 0) and Week 8 | The PANSS negative symptom subscale consists of seven items, measuring deficits in emotional expression, motivation, speech, and social engagement. The score ranges from 7 to 49, with higher scores reflecting more severe negative symptoms. The mean change from baseline to Week 8 will be analyzed to assess the impact of melatonin on negative symptoms. |
