Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is effective in remediating cognitive deficits while also improving functionality in Veterans with schizophrenia.
Single-center, outpatient, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3-treatment-phase, cross-over study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of two oral doses of AVL-3288 each compared to placebo, in patients with schizophrenia.
This study evaluates the feasibility of administering meclofenamic acid or pentosan polysulfate sodium as an adjunctive treatment to patients diagnosed with a psychotic disorder. Half of participants will receive meclofenamic acid, while the other half will receive polysulfate sodium.
In a sample of 20 inpatients with a DSM-IV-TR/DSM 5 diagnosis of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, investigators propose to conduct a prospective, 2 week observational trial to collect gastrointestinal stool samples in order to characterize the microbiota in people with schizophrenia and examine its variability over time. Participants may elect to participate for an additional two weeks, during which they will receive the prebiotic, oligofructose-enriched inulin (FOS), in order to examine its effects on the relative preponderance of butyrate-producing bacteria in the gut microbiome. Investigators will use an inpatient sample in order to standardize meals, exercise and environmental mediators. This is considered a feasibility, pilot study in order to apply for future grant funding. Investigators will recruit patients from the Treatment Research Program inpatient unit, Maryland Psychiatric Research Center, University of Maryland School of Medicine.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Lu AF35700 on electrical activity in the heart as measured on an electrocardiogram (ECG) in patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder after 6 weeks of treatment
The purpose of this study is to determine whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), when combined with different forms of computer based training, improves the ability to discriminate small differences between sounds in people diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder.
This is a confirmatory randomized controlled trial of the efficacy of a novel intervention combining neuroplasticity-based cognitive training with aerobic exercise, compared to the same systematic cognitive training alone. Treatment occurs for 6 months after randomization, with a followup assessment at 12 months. The investigators hypothesize that combining neuroplasticity-based computerized cognitive training and neurotrophin-enhancing physical exercise will produce neurotrophin increases and cognitive and functional improvements, even relative to cognitive training alone. The investigators target the period shortly after a first episode of schizophrenia to maximize the generalization of cognitive improvement to functional outcome, before chronic disability is established.
The purpose of this study is to examine whether Texting for Relapse Prevention (T4RP), a text messaging-based early warming for relapse prevention in people who have schizophrenia/SAD, is associated with fewer relapse symptoms compared to a treatment-as-usual control group.
This is a four year project evaluating the effectiveness of a group-based lifestyle intervention (PeerFIT) supported by mobile health (mHealth) technology and social media compared to Basic Education in fitness and nutrition supported by a wearable Activity Tracking device (BEAT) in achieving clinically significant improvements in weight loss and cardiorespiratory fitness in young adults with serious mental illness (SMI).
The purpose of this study is to determine if taking a sulforaphane nutraceutical versus a placebo will reduce symptoms of schizophrenia when used in addition to standard antipsychotic medications.
