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 trial tests a brain-training technique called neurofeedback, which helps you learn to control certain brainwaves. It might improve thinking and daily function for people with schizophrenia who are otherwise stable.
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 trial studies whether structured physical training can change brain “signal wiring” in people with schizophrenia. Researchers will also look at related molecular changes to understand why exercise might improve symptoms.
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 a type of brain training affects thinking skills in people with schizophrenia and healthy adults. It may help improve memory, attention, or problem-solving abilities.
