Recruiting studies
- NCT05731414Recruiting
Testing behavior programs to improve outcomes in schizophrenia
This study looks at how a behavioral program (including remediation and behavior-based techniques) may improve outcomes for adults with schizophrenia-spectrum conditions. You may be eligible if you meet basic age/language needs and haven’t done certain therapies recently.
Scarborough Village, OntarioAges 18–65 - NCT06939088RecruitingPhase 2

Enhanced coordinated care for early psychosis
This trial studies an enhanced version of coordinated specialty care (CSC) for people experiencing their first episode of psychosis. It aims to improve outcomes by providing more intensive support and coordination among different healthcare providers.
Belmont, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT04368039Recruiting
Breathing regular air pressure oxygen for first-time psychosis
This trial tests whether breathing oxygen (not high-pressure) can improve symptoms in people experiencing a first episode of psychosis. It may help reduce symptoms by changing oxygen delivery to the brain early in the illness.
Columbus, OhioAges 15–35 - NCT05340348Recruiting
Study of a patient guide for young people at risk of psychosis
This study tests how a “patient guide” (Patientheque) may help young people who are either having a first psychosis episode or showing early warning signs. It aims to support care decisions and reduce stress by improving understanding and follow-up.
BrestAges 15–30 - NCT03971487RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Ocrelizumab for psychosis linked to an overactive immune system
This Phase 1/2 study tests ocrelizumab, a medicine that affects parts of the immune system, to see if it can improve psychosis symptoms in people with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders. It’s mainly for younger adults with ongoing psychosis and evidence that the symptoms began early in life, with certain infection/vaccine safety requirements.
Houston, TexasAges 18–35 - NCT07192042Recruiting
Testing a device to check sleep breathing in schizophrenia
This trial uses a non-wearable device to assess sleep-disordered breathing in people with schizophrenia who are hospitalized. It aims to understand if this easy method can help monitor sleep issues.
New Taipei CityAges 20–70 - NCT05316883RecruitingPhase 4
Testing blood markers in people on clozapine for schizophrenia
This study looks at “biomarkers,” or blood measures, in people with schizophrenia who respond to clozapine. It may help researchers understand who benefits from clozapine and why, by linking test results to symptom changes.
Glostrup Municipality, DenmarkAges 18–64 - NCT05763966Recruiting
Uppsala study of psychosis risk and early psychosis
This study follows people with early psychosis, or a high risk of developing psychosis, to better understand brain and symptom changes over time. It may help future prevention or treatment by comparing brain/clinical measurements between people who are at risk, recently affected, and healthy controls.
UppsalaAges 18–40 - NCT06036316Recruiting
Language and memory study for people with psychosis
This study looks at how language and memory interact in people with psychosis, including those at risk, early psychosis, or schizophrenia, as well as healthy volunteers. It aims to understand these connections better, which may help improve care.
Laxou, FranceAges 16–55 - NCT06341517Recruiting
Brain circuit therapy for schizophrenia
This trial tests a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (TMS) to improve symptoms of schizophrenia. It aims to target brain circuits that may be out of balance.
GenevaAges 18–65 - NCT06482554RecruitingPhase 3
Lumateperone for Apathy in Psychotic Disorders
This trial tests a medication called lumateperone to see if it can improve apathy (lack of motivation) in people who have psychotic symptoms from schizophrenia or related disorders. It may help if you are already on a stable treatment but still struggle with apathy.
Shreveport, LouisianaAges 18–65 - NCT07263022RecruitingPhase 3
Cognitive Training for Early Psychosis Study
This study tests whether a cognitive training program can help young adults with recent psychosis improve their thinking and memory skills. It involves brain scans and cognitive exercises.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–35 - NCT06978881Enrolling by invitation
Brain activity study for stable schizophrenia
This study uses a brain scan called magnetoencephalography (MEG) to understand brain activity in people with schizophrenia. It may help researchers learn more about the condition and could lead to better treatments.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18–50 - NCT06542640Recruiting
Understanding brain changes in youth at risk for psychosis
This research study looks at how the brain changes in young people who are at high risk for developing psychosis. It aims to find better ways to predict and prevent psychosis by using brain imaging and thinking tests.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 15–35 - NCT07196462Recruiting
Brain stimulation to reduce cannabis craving in schizophrenia
This study tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help reduce cravings for cannabis in people with schizophrenia. It aims to see if this approach can improve outcomes for those who use cannabis and have a psychotic disorder.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–65 - NCT05131035Recruiting
Trial for thinking-speed training to lower psychosis risk
This study targets problems with “processing speed,” or how fast your brain handles information, to see if it can improve social functioning and lower the risk of developing full psychosis. It’s for people who are considered at high risk for psychosis but do not already have schizophrenia.
Glen Oaks, New YorkAges 14–20 - NCT07085923Recruiting
Heart health study for people with mental illness
This study tests a program to improve heart health in people with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder who take antipsychotic medication or lithium and have a high body weight. The goal is to help reduce heart disease risk.
OsloAges 25–70 - NCT07234708Recruiting
Feeling Safe Study for people with persecutory delusions
This study tests a psychological treatment for people with schizophrenia who feel unsafe because they believe others are trying to harm them. The goal is to help reduce these fears and improve daily life.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03525054Recruiting
Brain-and-speech study after suicidal thoughts or actions
This study looks at how people use language (free speech) after a suicidal gesture, idea, or related behavior that affected their life. The researchers use computer-based analysis to understand patterns in speech and thinking, which may help improve support and assessment.
BrestAges 15–30 - NCT05858255Recruiting
Exergaming program for people with psychosis
This study tests whether an “exergaming” exercise program (video games that make you move) can help people with schizophrenia-spectrum conditions. It’s meant to see if this kind of guided activity is safe and beneficial for symptoms and wellbeing.
Tønsberg, VestfoldAges 18–65 - NCT06978803Recruiting
Speech and brain study for early psychosis
This study looks at how people with early psychosis (within the first 5 years of treatment) talk during conversations. Researchers hope to learn more about speech patterns and brain activity related to psychosis.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18–60 - NCT06107764Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for thinking and memory in psychosis

Belmont, MassachusettsAges 18–55 - NCT06118268Recruiting
Brain stimulation to improve social thinking in psychosis
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation called intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) can help improve social thinking and understanding in people with psychosis. Researchers want to see if this treatment can boost how you read social cues and connect with others.
