NCT ID: NCT06190483 Completed - Clinical trials for Prodromal Schizophrenia

Investigating the Role of Diazepam on Brain Function and Chemistry in Psychosis Risk

BENZOGAP
Start date: July 24, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study will investigate whether a single dose of diazepam (5mg) compared to placebo can modulate brain chemistry (GABA/glutamate levels) and function (blood flow, neural response and connectivity during tasks and at-rest) in 24 individuals at clinical high-risk for psychosis.

NCT ID: NCT05877716 Recruiting - Schizophrenia Clinical Trials

EPI-MINN: Targeting Cognition and Motivation - National

Start date: May 30, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to perform a practice-based research project designed to assess whether cognition and motivated behavior in early psychosis can be addressed as key treatment goals within real-world settings by using a 12-week mobile intervention program. Participants who are receiving care at coordinated specialty care (CSC) early psychosis clinics across the United States will be recruited to participate in this study. A qualifying CSC program will provide comprehensive clinical services such as psychotherapy, medication management, psychoeducation, and work or education support. This study will be conducted remotely, and participants can participate at home with their own electronic devices. The aim of this study is to investigate a well-defined 12-week mobile intervention program specifically designed to target cognitive functioning and motivated behavior for individuals with early psychosis. Participants will complete a screening interview which will include diagnosis and symptom ratings, neurocognitive assessment, and self-reports of symptoms, behavior, and functioning. Then participants will be randomized to receive the 12-week mobile intervention, or an active control of treatment as usual. The investigators will test for differences in the clinical trajectories after training, and at two follow up appointments at 6 and 12 months post-training.

NCT ID: NCT05567848 Enrolling by invitation - Schizophrenia Clinical Trials

Accelerated TMS in Psychosis

ATP
Start date: November 29, 2022
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This study is to determine the tolerability and efficacy of an accelerated schedule of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for treating symptoms of psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia.

NCT ID: NCT05532683 Enrolling by invitation - Psychosis Clinical Trials

Feasibility Trial of a Lifestyle Intervention for CHR-P

Start date: April 4, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The present study will assess the feasibility and social validity of an adjunctive health promotion group for youth and clinical high risk for psychosis (CHR-P). Youth participating in treatment at the Center for the Assessment and Prevention of Prodromal Sates (CAPPS) will be invited to participate in a weekly, adjunctive, closed psychoeducation group focused on sharing health promotion strategies and increasing health behaviors (e.g. improved sleep habits, increased participation in physical activity). The aim of the group will be to provide psychoeducation on lifestyle risk and protective factors for youth at risk for psychosis (i.e. experiencing subthreshold psychosis symptoms). Topics covered will include psychoeducation, goal setting, stress management, sleep, physical activity, substance use, and nutrition. Evidence-based strategies to decrease risk factors and promote protective lifestyle factors for mental illness will be reviewed. Group leaders will utilize a motivational interviewing approach to facilitate the group. The group will complete nine weekly group sessions. The goal of our research is to 1) determine the feasibility of a novel group-based health promotion intervention, 2) assess the social validity of the group, 3) measure the effects of the intervention on stress, sleep, physical activity, substance use, and nutrition, and 4) measure preliminary effects on symptoms and functioning.

NCT ID: NCT05167396 Recruiting - Healthy Controls Clinical Trials

REtinal and VIsual Cortical Response in Early PSYchosis

REVIPSY
Start date: January 26, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the REVIPSY study is to measure retinal and the visual cortical electrophysiological responses in situations at risk of psychosis in patients who have experienced a first psychotic episode. A perspective of this project will be to create new electrophysiological biomarkers predictive of the risk of conversion to psychosis

NCT ID: NCT05142735 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Prodromal Schizophrenia

Effects of NAC on Symptoms of CHR Patients

Start date: January 13, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Schizophrenia is a chronic debilitating psychotic disorder. Identifying persons with "clinical high-risk" (CHR) symptoms, which are like those of schizophrenia but less severe, and providing psychiatric care to these individuals has been shown to help prevent psychosis. Current medications used for CHR symptoms, however, are associated with substantial side effect burden. Therefore, practice guidelines do not recommend current medications as routine treatment for the CHR state, and there is a need to identify new treatments for this condition. Research suggests that abnormal brain oxidative stress may contribute to schizophrenia, offering a potential novel treatment target in the CHR state. Oxidative stress is an excess of free radicals, which are generated from normal metabolism and environmental exposures, and can damage cells. Antioxidants in the body normally neutralize free radicals. Antioxidant deficiency could result in excess oxidative stress that damages brain cells, leading to schizophrenia. Recent studies suggest that N-acetylcysteine (NAC), a precursor of the most abundant brain antioxidant, glutathione, may be a safe, well-tolerated treatment for schizophrenia. In light of this, NAC may also reduce symptoms and brain abnormalities in CHR patients.

NCT ID: NCT05131035 Recruiting - Psychosis Clinical Trials

Targeting Processing Speed Deficits to Improve Social Functioning and Lower Psychosis Risk

SCORES
Start date: October 28, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This 10 week intervention, Specific Cognitive Remediation with Surround (or SCORES), is designed to target processing speed, a cognitive domain related directly to social functioning, which in turn, represents a vulnerability factor for psychosis. This remotely-delivered intervention combining targeted cognitive training exercises and group support was developed to directly impact processing speed, and at the same time, boost motivation and engagement in adolescents at risk for schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders.

NCT ID: NCT05052853 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Prodromal Schizophrenia

Early Intervention of Prodromal Schizophrenia Using an NMDA Enhancer

Start date: November 1, 2021
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Previous studies found that some NMDA-enhancing agents were able to improve clinical symptoms of patients with schizophrenia. Whether treatment of an NMDA-enhancing agent can benefit the treatment of prodromal schizophrenia deserves study.

NCT ID: NCT04338152 Recruiting - Psychosis Clinical Trials

Family-Focused Therapy for Individuals at High Clinical Risk for Psychosis: A Confirmatory Efficacy Trial

Start date: January 15, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The present study is a confirmatory efficacy trial of Family Focused Therapy for youth at clinical high risk for psychosis (FFT-CHR). This trial is sponsored by seven mature CHR clinical research programs from the North American Prodrome Longitudinal Study (NAPLS). The young clinical high risk sample (N = 220 youth ages 13-25) is to be followed at 6-month intervals for 18 months.

NCT ID: NCT03970005 Enrolling by invitation - Clinical trials for Prodromal Schizophrenia

Start date: April 19, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

The Ohio State University Early Psychosis Intervention Center is implementing a specialized clinical program to serve individuals who meet clinical high risk criteria for a psychosis. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term outcomes among individuals participating in this clinical service.
