7T brain scan study for teens at risk of psychosis
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests how the brain’s cell membranes and energy use look in teens who are at high risk of developing psychosis. It compares them with healthy teens to better understand early brain changes that might help future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 15 to 25, at enrollment
- If in the at-risk group: meet specific assessment scores for “at risk” mental state and daily functioning
- You must be able to have a 7T MRI scan safely (no major metal/pregnancy/contrast/claustrophobia issues)
- You (and a legal representative if needed) must sign free, written consent before any study procedures
- If in the at-risk group: you should not already be in full psychosis, and you typically should not start or change antipsychotic medicine within the last month

This study uses very high-strength MRI scans (7T) to look for brain imaging patterns that may predict how Alzheimer’s disease will progress. It may help doctors spot which changes are linked to faster or slower decline.
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.
This study looks at brain scans and other health information to understand mental health conditions better. You may be able to join if you are a young adult or teen with early signs of mental health changes.
This study uses brain scans and a medication called methylphenidate (Ritalin) to understand how the brain chemical dopamine works in people at early risk for psychosis. It may help researchers find better ways to predict and treat psychosis.
This study examines how the brain changes during late adolescence and early adulthood by taking images of your brain and looking at how it processes information. Understanding these changes may help scientists learn more about brain development and mental health.
This study tests whether a type of magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) can help people who are at high risk for psychosis. The stimulation is personalized using a brain scan called magnetoencephalography (MEG) to target the right areas.
