Trial for thinking-speed training to lower psychosis risk
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You meet “high risk for psychosis” criteria based on a structured interview with a study clinician
- You have noticeable problems on thinking-speed tests (specific scores on Animal Naming, Trails A/B, or symbol-coding tasks)
- You do not have a diagnosis on the schizophrenia spectrum (no schizophrenia-spectrum diagnosis)
- You can speak and understand English
- You do not have major brain/CNS conditions (like a seizure disorder) or a history of serious head injury
- You do not have major hearing/vision problems, major substance abuse problems, or an estimated IQ under 70

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.
This trial tests a staged (“step-based”) mental health program for people ages 12–25 who have early warning signs that could develop into psychosis. It may help by targeting symptoms early and reducing the chance of worsening over time.
This trial studies whether NAC (a nutrient-like supplement) can reduce symptoms in people who are at high risk for developing psychosis. It may help by testing a safer, non-standard treatment approach for early warning signs.
This trial tests whether a personalized care plan improves day-to-day functioning for people in the early stages of psychosis. It aims to see if adding structured support after a recent diagnosis can help you function better.
This trial tests an approach aimed at emotional ups-and-downs to help lower suicide risk in people who have psychosis and are at higher risk for suicidal thoughts or behaviors. If you qualify, you would get outpatient mental health care while participating in the study.
This trial tests a telehealth (video/phone) version of cognitive behavioral therapy to help young people who are at risk for developing psychosis. It may help by teaching skills to reduce symptoms and improve coping, with support from a key family or close person.
