Filter by:The project aims to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of a blended face-to-face and smartphone intervention for distressing thoughts and experiences in people with schizophrenia spectrum disorders. A secondary aim is to assess the outcomes of the intervention at baseline (T0) and post-intervention (T1) (single-arm feasibility design). The study design is primarily based on Bell et al.'s (2018, 2020) blended face-to-face and smartphone intervention for hallucinations. The participants receive four face-to-face therapy sessions, using a smartphone between sessions employing elements of Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) and Intervention (EMI).
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether gaming intervention works well for persons with psychotic disorder. The main question to be answered is whether gaming works well in improving functioning, some other clinical outcomes or causing any adverse effects. Researchers will compare gaming group to usual care.
This study proposes continuity in the implementation of a psychological approach program to enhance cognitive reserve (CR) in children, adolescent and young adults, off-springs of patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder (Off-SZBP), and first affective and non-affective episodes with three main objectives: to characterize the cognitive reserve in the early stages of the disease, to validate the adaptation of the intervention to first affective and non-affective disorders to assess the effectiveness of the intervention in a longer term.
The main objective of this study is to establish whether there are differences in self-recognition and self/other distinction in subjects with psychological vulnerability compared to healthy volunteer controls.
Antipsychotic (AP) medications are currently the cornerstone of treatment for schizophrenia (SCZ), with off-label prescription rapidly increasing in youth, with an established two-fold increase in standardized mortality ratio attributable to cardiovascular disease in this population. However, APs have been associated with common and serious metabolic adverse effects including weight gain and diabetes, to which youth are disproportionally vulnerable. The Gut Microbiome (GMB) has been suggested as a potential target warranting further study as a mechanism of AP induced weight gain and has also been linked directly with cognition and behavior. It is hypothesized that there will be changes in the gut microbiome overtime with treatment correlated with metabolic measures and that APs will produce changes in glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, adipokines, glucagon like peptide (GLP)-1, lipids, fasting glucose, body weight, and cognition.
