title: [Experience in treating schizophrenia by means of detoxification hemosorption].
abstract: A new method of sorptional detoxication (hemosorption) was used in the treatment of schizophrenia. The method consisted in blood perfusion through activated carbon. In all, 13 sessions of hemosorption were performed in 9 patients with different forms of schizophrenia. The preliminary data indicate that detoxicational hemosorption facilitates rapid disappearance of psychotic symptomatology, permits the doses of psychopharmacological drugs and the duration of hospital treatment to be significantly reduced.
