Brain scan study of thinking in cannabis users with psychosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses brain imaging to understand how thinking works in people who use cannabis, comparing those with psychosis to people without psychosis. It may help researchers learn what brain patterns relate to thinking difficulties and how cannabis use fits in.

This early-phase study uses brain scans to study cannabis use disorder and looks at whether a treatment approach is suitable for people who use cannabis every day. It may help researchers understand brain changes related to quitting and recovery.
This study tests whether a gentle brain stimulation technique (called tDCS) can help people who want to cut down or stop using cannabis. You'll wear a headband-like device during sessions at NYU, and the study team will check in with you over time.
