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.
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.
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 tests whether a brain-training technique called neurofeedback can help reduce symptoms in young people at high risk for psychosis. It compares brain activity feedback to usual care, aiming to improve cognitive function and reduce the chance of developing psychosis.
This trial tests a type of therapy called Mentalization Based Treatment (MBT) for young people who are at high risk for developing psychosis. The therapy helps you understand your own and others' thoughts and feelings, with the goal of reducing distress and preventing psychosis.
This study tests whether a mindfulness program can help prevent psychosis in young people who are at ultra high risk. The goal is to see if learning mindfulness skills can protect your mental health and keep symptoms from getting worse.
