Filter by:The investigators propose to test whether curcumin nanoparticles will improve behavioral measures and biomarkers of cognition and neuroplasticity in patients with schizophrenia who are already receiving a stable dose of antipsychotic.
This study is to assess the bioavailability of LY03004 compared to Risperdal Consta as well as the evaluate the safety and tolerability and preliminary efficacy of LY03004 with repeat injections
The goal of this project, which has not changed, is to improve the health and fitness of persons with serious mental illness (SMI) using an innovative model: In SHAPE Lifestyles. Participants are randomly assigned to the In SHAPE program or Health Club Membership and Education only. The three specific aims of this study are to: 1. To compare the treatment groups with respect to improvement in physical fitness outcomes, including: (a) health behaviors (engagement in exercise and diet changes); and (b) indicators of physical fitness. 2. To compare the treatment groups with respect to improvements in mental health outcomes, including negative symptoms, depression, and self-efficacy. 3. To explore differences in the treatment groups with respect to psychosocial functioning, health status, and acute service use, and the effects of selected demographic, clinical, and health behavior variables on primary outcomes.
The purpose of this study is to gather information about the steady-state plasma concentrations of aripiprazole, olanzapine, quetiapine and their relevant metabolites, at various dose levels and at different time points after dosing. In addition, comparison of capillary drug concentrations vs. venous drug concentrations will be performed for aripiprazole, olanzapine, paliperidone, quetiapine, risperidone and their relevant metabolites.
To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of the injectable intramuscular (IM) long-acting formulation (in situ microparticle, ISM) of risperidone over four IM injections in the gluteal and deltoid muscle at 28-day intervals and at one dose strength (75 mg) in patients with schizophrenia.
In this study we will definitively test the decision support system in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) among smokers with severe mental illness (SMI) psychotic disorders. The Specific Aims of the study are: 1. To determine whether use of the web-based decision support system leads to higher rates of initiation of smoking cessation treatment than use of a computerized educational pamphlet. We will also assess effectiveness on secondary outcomes, including smoking behavior, urges and outcome expectancies; level of dependence; intentions to quit and to use cessation treatment; and abstinence. 2. To assess whether cognitive ability moderates initiation of smoking cessation treatment. Since cognitive impairment impedes use of standard web-based interventions by this group, and cognitive impairments likely supersede other potential moderators (education and socioeconomic status), this aim will be key to determining the success of our intervention and will guide further revisions if they are needed. 3. To explore the effects of the decision support system and baseline cognitive ability on abstinence over 6 months 1. We will examine the impact of the DSS on 7-day point prevalence tobacco abstinence at 6 months, and cumulative days of tobacco abstinence over 6 months. 2. We will determine whether baseline cognition (scale scores) is associated with 7-day point prevalence tobacco abstinence at 6 months, and cumulative days of tobacco abstinence over 6 months.
This is a prospective study using a concierge model of customized adherence enhancement and long-acting injectable antipsychotic (CAL-Concierge) in 30 individuals with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder at risk for treatment non-adherence and for homelessness. Like the CAE-L approach, CAL-Concierge is expected to improve health outcomes among the most vulnerable of populations with schizophrenia but even more importantly, will demonstrate that it can be used to improve the efficiency and quality of care in typical practice settings.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether cognitive impairment associated with schizophrenia is attenuated by add-on roflumilast administration to second generation antipsychotics (SGA) in participants with stable schizophrenia.
The purpose of this study is to examine the barriers and facilitators of implementing Illness Management and Recovery (IMR) in Norwegian mental health services.
Paliperidone ER is a new psychotropic medication for schizophrenia treatment. The studies of 6-week acute treatment and 52-week maintenance treatment showed positive results in patients with schizophrenia and its clinical improvement may start at Day 4. Some second-generation antipsychotics have been found that using the first 2 weeks' treatment results to predict the fourth or sixth week's treatment response is acceptable. The primary aim of this study is to investigate: 1. . whether the early prediction model used in other atypicals could also be applied in paliperidone ER. 2. . The changes of metabolic parameters and pharmacokinetics after paliperidone ER treatment in this study
