Boosting thinking skills with training and medication in mood or schizophrenia disorders
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a type of brain training called Action-Based Cognitive Remediation, which uses exercises to help with memory, attention, and problem-solving. It is designed for people with mental health conditions who notice thinking difficulties, and may help them feel more confident in daily tasks.
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.
This study looks at how a type of brain stimulation called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) might help improve thinking flexibility in people with depression. It aims to see if this treatment can help you switch between thoughts more easily, which can be a common problem in depression.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation method called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can help improve thinking and memory in people with bipolar disorder who are in a stable phase. TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas involved in cognitive function, and this trial aims to see if it can reduce cognitive problems that often persist even when mood symptoms are controlled.
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.
This study tests whether structured memory and thinking exercises (cognitive stimulation) help older adults with bipolar disorder who have mild to moderate thinking and memory problems. You may be offered guided sessions designed to improve everyday thinking skills while checking safety and fit for the program.
