The negative symptoms of schizophrenia include diminished emotional expression, avolition, alogia, anhedonia, and asociality, and due to their low responsiveness to available treatments, are a primary driver of functional disability in schizophrenia. This narrative review has the aim of providing a comprehensive overview of the current research developments in the treatment of negative symptoms in schizophrenia, and begins by introducing the concepts of primary, secondary, prominent, predominant, and broadly defined negative symptoms. We then compare and contrast commonly used research assessment scales for negative symptoms and review the evidence for the specific utility of widely available off-label and investigational treatments that have been studied for negative symptoms.

While these efforts have succeeded in reducing morbidity associated with STH infection, recent modeling efforts have suggested that expanding intervention to treatment of the entire community could achieve transmission interruption in some settings. Testing the feasibility of such an approach requires large-scale clinical trials, such as the DeWorm3 cluster randomized trial.
