Exercise study for people with schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how exercise affects brain function in people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. It may help researchers understand whether exercise can improve brain-related outcomes alongside standard treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies how a structured exercise program may affect brain health in people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. It may help researchers understand whether exercise can support brain function and overall health in this condition.
This trial studies whether structured physical training can change brain “signal wiring” in people with schizophrenia. Researchers will also look at related molecular changes to understand why exercise might improve symptoms.
This trial tests whether a regular exercise program can help improve symptoms, thinking, and quality of life for people with schizophrenia who take a specific medication called clozapine.
This study tests whether aerobic exercise alone, or exercise combined with a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS, can improve thinking and memory in people with treatment-resistant schizophrenia.
This study combines brain stimulation with physical exercise to see if it can improve thinking and memory in people with schizophrenia. You will get both treatments and be tested on cognitive functions.
This trial tests whether a combination of at-home (telehealth) aerobic exercise and computer-based cognitive training can improve thinking and day-to-day function after a first episode of schizophrenia-spectrum illness. It may help by strengthening attention and learning skills after the initial psychotic episode.
