Filter by:Exercise has been shown to improve health in patients with schizophrenia. However, it remains unclear which modality of exercise reports better benefits. Aim: To compare the effects of different modalities of exercise training on psychological and physiological variables in schizophrenia.
Medications have a poor effect on negative symptoms and cognitive function in schizophrenia. In the past, most of the studies on repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation intervention in patients with schizophrenia used conventional stimulation sites and patterns, and the intervention effect was still controversial. A few studies have achieved positive results with the new stimulation model (TBS model) and the therapeutic target (cerebellar vermis), but the follow-up period did not exceed 2 weeks, and no similar studies have emerged in China. Therefore, this study hypothesized that the TBS-mode rTMS intervention in the cerebellar vermis can improve the negative symptoms, cognitive function, and depressive symptoms of schizophrenia, and the efficacy can be maintained.
To initiate a low-carbohydrate, high-fat (LCHF) or ketogenic dietary (KD) intervention among a cohort of outpatients with either schizophrenia or bipolar illness who also have metabolic abnormalities, overweight/obesity, and/or are currently taking psychotropic medications experiencing metabolic side effects.
Cognitive remediation (CR) is an evidence-based behavioral skills intervention that targets the cognitive processes underlying functioning in everyday life. It can be used as part of early intervention to reduce cognitive deficits evident at the first episode of psychosis, and has the potential to impact recovery and quality of life. Across Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC) programs, about half of early psychosis participants do not achieve sustained vocational, educational, and/or social recovery; adding CR to CS programs could improve these outcomes. However, models of CR need to be adapted to meet the developmental needs of a younger population and to better fit the CSC model of service delivery. This study of CR implementation will be conducted within the context of OnTrackNY, a network of first-episode psychosis programs that currently offers basic cognitive health evaluation and supportive treatment but not CR. Intervention content will be designed and refined based on input from multiple stakeholders. The study will assess two delivery approaches to CR, one that delivers CR exclusively "in-clinic/clinician-led" and the other that is "partial-remote/independent" with one in-clinic/clinician-led session per week plus out-of-clinic independent cognitive practice. Nine OnTrackNY programs will be selected and OnTrackNY clinicians will be trained to conduct a cognitive assessment battery and CR. Three programs will be randomly assigned to provide treatment as usual (TAU) and six programs will be randomly assigned to provide both TAU and CR (either "in-clinic/clinician-led" or "partial-remote/independent"). Using de-identified data collected routinely by OnTrackNY for quality improvement/program evaluation, the investigators will examine whether the addition of CR improves functional outcomes for clients with first-episode psychosis, compare the effectiveness of CR delivery methods, and explore whether cognitive improvement is associated with improvement in functioning.
Psychomotor slowing is a major problem in psychosis. Aberrant function of the cerebral motor system is linked to psychomotor slowing in patients, particularly resting state hyperactivity in premotor cortices. A previous clinical trial indicated that inhibitory stimulation of the premotor cortex would reduce psychomotor slowing. The current study is further exploring this effect in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind design with three arms of transcranial magnetic stimulation and measures of brain imaging and physiology prior to and after the intervention.
The objectives of this study are to describe characteristics, treatment patterns, and outcomes of patients with schizophrenia newly initiated on 1 of 4 FDA-approved atypical Long Acting Injectable (LAI) antipsychotics (ABILIFY MAINTENA®, ARISTADA®, INVEGA SUSTENNA® or RISPERDAL CONSTA®)
This is a clinical trial that intend to determine the effects of S-ketamine on event-related potentials associated with semantic affective pain-processing
Neurophysilogical, neuropsychological evaluation and cognitive and physical training
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of TV-46000. The primary safety and tolerability endpoint is the frequency of all adverse events, including serious adverse events. For new participants, the total duration of participant participation in the study is planned to be up to 80 weeks (including a screening period of up to 4 weeks, a 12-week oral conversion/stabilization stage [Stage 1], a 56-week double-blind maintenance stage [Stage 2], and a follow-up period [8 weeks]). For roll-over participants, the total duration of participant participation in the study is planned to be up to 64 weeks (including up to 56 weeks in the maintenance stage [Stage 2] and a follow-up period [8 weeks]). Participants who started Stage 2 who relapse or meet 1 or more of the withdrawal criteria should be invited to perform the Early Termination visit as soon as possible within 4 weeks of the last injection. Participants who withdraw from the study before completing the 56-week maintenance stage will have follow-up procedures and assessments performed at their follow-up visits. During the follow-up period, participants will be treated according to the investigator's judgment. All participants will be treated with active drug.
This clinical trial aims at examining the effects of auditory high-frequency stimulation in schizophrenia patient, aiming to increase their AEPs, which are known to be attenuated from previous literature
