Telehealth exercise and brain training after a first psychosis episode
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 tests whether a virtual reality program can help people living with psychosis improve thinking and daily functioning. It may help if your symptoms are currently stable and you can safely use the VR equipment.
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 study looks at how computer-based thinking exercises might improve memory and attention in people with schizophrenia. It uses brain scans (MRI) to see if these exercises change how the brain works.
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.
