Cognitive therapy for schizophrenia: Brain changes and emotions
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a cognitive training program for people with schizophrenia to see if it improves thinking and emotional control, and how it affects brain activity measured by EEG.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether adding a medication that may improve brain flexibility makes memory and thinking training work better for people with bipolar disorder, recurring depression, or schizophrenia spectrum disorders. It could help improve daily thinking skills and quality of life.
This trial tests a computer-based cognitive training program (bWell-D) to see if it can improve thinking skills like memory and focus in people with mild depression. You will also have an MRI brain scan to see how the training affects your brain.
This study tests a structured cognitive (thinking/skill) training program aimed at improving how people manage emotions. It may help by teaching emotion regulation skills alongside existing care.
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 study tests a brain-training technique called gamma neurofeedback to see if it can improve working memory (the ability to hold and use information) in people with schizophrenia. You will learn to control brain waves while getting feedback in real time, which might help with memory and thinking.
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.
