Filter by:Internalized stigma, (i.e. the application of negative stereotypes about a diagnostic group to one's self) is a strong predictor of recovery and quality of life for individuals with psychosis. Be Outspoken and Overcome Stigmatizing Thoughts (BOOST) is an evidence-based intervention aimed at improving internalized stigma, self-esteem, and quality of life for those with psychosis. The proposed research expands BOOST's program by adding additional therapeutic methods and material, and adopting the use of virtual care methods to: (a) increase the generalization of treatment effects, (b) examine long-term treatment effects, and (C) provide rural Ontario communities with remote treatment access.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanism of action of transcranial electrical brain stimulation over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex for cognitive impairment in schizophrenia. To do so the effect of a 3-mA stimulation protocol on neurocognitive functions will be investigated using behavioral performance and fMRI.
Study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of luvadaxistat compared with placebo on improving cognitive performance in participants with schizophrenia.
cTBS is a promising novel intervention, which have strong potentials on moderating disease syndrome, suck as verbal hallucination, and cognitive deficits in schizophrenia, as it has been proved for the treatment of depression. Therefore, the investigators designed this randomized controlled clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cTBS on prevention and treatment for cognitive deficiency, psychotic syndrome and metabolic side-effects in drug-naive first episode individual with schizophrenia.
Electroencephalography (EEG) has been proposed as a neurophysiological biomarker to delineate psychotic disorders. Meanwhile, the increased appetite, which might related to self-control process, has been an increasing concern for the management of psychotic disorders. In this cross-section study, investigators collect the resting state EEG data, self-control related scale, eating behaviour questionnaire and psychotic syndrome related assessement and try to find the connection between those measurers, in order to provide novel understanding on the mechanism of psychotic diseases.
Individuals with schizophrenia display a wide range of neurocognitive difficulties resulting in functional impairment and disability. Extensive evidence indicates insomnia and sleep disturbances play a substantial role in degrading cognitive functioning. However, the putative impact of insomnia and sleep disturbances on neurocognition and daily functioning has not been investigated in people with schizophrenia. The goal of this study is to characterize sleep in individuals with schizophrenia and quantify its impact on neurocognition and daily functioning.
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, fixed-dose study in adult patients with a primary diagnosis of schizophrenia according to criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, (DSM-5).
The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term symptomatic response (Visit 2 [Week 1] to Visit 14/Week 66 [End of Study {EOS}]) measured by change in the Clinical Global Impressions -Severity for Schizophrenia (CGI-SS) in participants with schizophrenia who are treated in Rwandan real-world healthcare settings with the antipsychotic regimen that starts with oral anti-psychotic (AP) formulation followed by continued treatment with (paliperidone palmitate 1-month [PP1M] and 3-month [PP3M] formulations).
The study is a randomised, assessor-blinded parallel-groups superiority clinical trial fulfilling the CONSORT criteria for non-pharmacological treatment. A total of 256 patients will be allocated to either Cognitive Behavioural Virtual Reality Therapy plus treatment as usual, versus traditional CBT for psychosis plus treatment as usual. All participants will be assessed at baseline and 3- and 9 months post baseline. A stratified block-randomisation with concealed randomisation sequence will be conducted. Independent assessors blinded to the treatment will evaluate outcome. Analysis of outcome will be carried out with the intention to treat principles.
This study is open to adults with schizophrenia. Schizophrenia can affect the way a person thinks, their memory and their mental functioning. Examples include struggling to remember things, or to read a book or pay attention to a movie. Some people have difficulty calculating the right change or planning a trip so that they arrive on time. The purpose of this study is to find out whether a medicine called Iclepertin improves learning and memory in people with schizophrenia. Participants are put into two groups randomly, which means by chance. One group takes Iclepertin tablets and the other group takes placebo tablets. Placebo tablets look like Iclepertin tablets but do not contain any medicine. Participants take a tablet once a day for 26 weeks. In addition, all participants take their normal medication for schizophrenia. During this time, doctors regularly test learning and memory of the participants by use of questionnaires, interviews, and computer tests. The results of the mental ability tests are compared between the groups. Participants are in the study for about 8 months and visit the study site about 14 times. During this time, doctors regularly check participants' health and take note of any unwanted effects.
