Clinical Trial: Impaired Decision Making in Pedophilic Offenders
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Unknown status
Study Type: Interventional
Official Title: Neuropsychological Approach of Pedophilic Behaviors, a Pilot Study in a Population of Inmates Pedophilic Offenders
Brief Summary: Pedophilic behaviors represent a public health problem with serious consequences. The investigators hypothesize a disruption in the decision-making strategies among sex offenders pedophiles. Highlight this type of abnormality would offer a specific treatment of a possible neuropsychological deficit (with cognitive remediation for instance) and perhaps avoid recurrences of this type of behavior.
Detailed Summary: Cross-sectional study, comparing a group of 64 pedophilic offenders inmates condamned with a group of 64 volunteers non-pedophiles matched by age and level of study.
Sponsor: University Hospital, Montpellier
Current Primary Outcome: Comparison of neuropsychological performances between control group and group of persons suffering from pedophilia [ Time Frame: 36 months (at the end of the study) ]
Bring to light cognitive changes in the pedophilia, by comparing the neuropsychological performances of a group of persons suffering from pedophilia to a control group (no pedophile).
The neuropsychological performances between two groups are assessed by neuropsychologic questionnaires (Iowa Gambling Task, MINI 5.0.0, MADRS, Test de Rolls, N-Back, WAIS III, go-no-go...)
Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
