EEG brain test for young people at risk of psychosis
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a short EEG recording to look at brain activity patterns in young people with early signs of mental health conditions, including those at risk for psychosis, first episode psychosis, depression, or autism. It aims to find brain markers that could help identify people who might benefit from early treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 15 and 30 years old.
- You have either early signs of psychosis risk, a first episode of psychosis, depression, autism, or you are a healthy volunteer.

- You do not have epilepsy, a major head injury, or an IQ below 70.
- You do not have bipolar disorder or obsessive-compulsive disorder.
- You do not have a substance use disorder (but using up to 5 cannabis joints per day is okay).

This trial records a child’s brain activity using a painless EEG (small sensors on the scalp) to see how well it can predict later language development. It may help researchers understand which children are likely to improve and when.
This study builds a database of brain-signal measurements to help find “biomarkers” that may point to schizophrenia or related mental illnesses. Depending on whether you have a mental health diagnosis or you’re healthy, the study will collect information and brain data to compare groups.
This study tests how a “patient guide” (Patientheque) may help young people who are either having a first psychosis episode or showing early warning signs. It aims to support care decisions and reduce stress by improving understanding and follow-up.
This trial uses EEG (a painless head sensor test) to study brain activity during anesthesia or sedation in both children and adults. The goal is to better understand how the brain responds to these medicines, which may help improve future care.
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 recordings to better understand epilepsy signals. It may help people who need EEG monitoring for clinical care, and it may also use healthy adults as comparison participants.
