Batlimore, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT04629352Recruiting
tDCS brain-stimulation for hearing voices in schizophrenia
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain-stimulation treatment (tDCS) can improve response to care in people who experience clinically significant hearing voices. It may help by changing brain activity, aiming to reduce or improve auditory hallucinations.
Bengaluru, KarnatakaAges 18–45 - NCT05208190RecruitingPhase 4
Clozapine to prevent violence in schizophrenia
This trial tests whether clozapine can reduce repeat violent behavior in people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. Participants are randomly assigned to clozapine or usual care to see which approach works better for preventing violence.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT05805397Recruiting
Motivation skills training for schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder
This study tests whether “Motivation Skills Training” can help people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. It’s for people who are stable on treatment and can participate in English-speaking sessions.
