Sound during sleep for brain health in schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if playing sounds during sleep can improve brain function in people with schizophrenia. You will be asked to do a finger tapping task while we measure your brain activity with MRI.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether special sound-based stimulation can help improve brain “communication timing” in people with early-course schizophrenia. It compares participants with early-course schizophrenia to healthy volunteers without a psychiatric history to see how brain function changes.
This trial tests a brain-stimulation approach for people with schizophrenia (or schizoaffective disorder) who don’t always recognize how their illness affects them. It may help improve symptoms and insight while you stay on stable medications during the study.
This study tests a gentle overnight brain stimulation technique to improve sleep spindles—brain waves that help with memory—in people with schizophrenia or related disorders. It may help understand how sleep affects thinking and symptoms.
This trial studies whether carefully timed sound (“auditory stimulation”) can change sleep patterns and memory in people with epilepsy. It may help researchers understand how to improve thinking and memory by adjusting how the brain sleeps.
This study tests if a special light and sound device can help people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. It involves brain scans and sessions with lights and tones to see if they improve symptoms.
This study tests if a special sound played during sleep can help the brain clear waste. It may help people with early memory concerns or healthy volunteers.
