[Abstract] Objective: To observe the effect of enhanced error-free rhythm combined with EEG biofeedback on patients with schizophrenia (SZ). Methods 95 patients with SZ in our hospital (from March 2020 to October 2022) were selected for the study. They were randomly divided into two groups according to the method of drawing lots. 47 patients in the control group were treated with EEG biofeedback, and 48 patients in the observation group were combined to strengthen error-free rhythm on the basis of the control group. The treatment effect, cognitive function and information processing speed of the two groups were compared before and after 12 weeks of treatment. Results: After 12 weeks of treatment, the score of SANS in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (P; After treatment, the number of continuous errors and non-continuous errors in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and the number of correct reactions and the percentage of conceptualization level were higher than those in the control group (P; The duration of wiring test A in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The treatment of SZ patients with enhanced error-free rhythm combined with EEG biofeedback can not only effectively alleviate their clinical symptoms, but also improve their cognitive ability and information processing speed.
