Brain-training for working memory in early schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a treatment that targets brain “rhythms” can improve working memory in people who are in the early stage of schizophrenia. It may help the brain process information more effectively, which can support daily thinking and functioning.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 40 years old
- You have a schizophrenia spectrum diagnosis (per DSM) and it started less than 3 years ago
- You can understand and sign informed consent
- You do not have a significant brain/nerve condition (like seizures or serious neurologic problems) and no strong epilepsy history
- You have not had electroconvulsive therapy, and you do not have a recent serious concussion (especially with loss of consciousness over 10 minutes)

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical brain stimulation technique called tACS can improve working memory in people with schizophrenia. It involves 10 daily sessions and may help with daily functioning.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can improve thinking and memory in people with psychosis. It involves MRI scans and several study visits at McLean Hospital.
This study tests a brain-training method called neurofeedback that may help improve thinking and reduce symptoms in people with schizophrenia. You'll get feedback on your brain activity while doing tasks, and the researchers hope it will help your brain work better.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can improve brain connections in people with schizophrenia. It involves two types of MRI scans and several TMS sessions to see if it can help with thinking and symptoms.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to improve brain connectivity in people with schizophrenia. It may help with symptoms by using magnetic pulses to target specific brain areas.
