This trial tests a program called iTEST that helps people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder improve how accurately they understand their own thoughts. The program combines device use with feedback from a clinician or loved one to support better self-awareness.
This trial studies how a structured exercise program may affect brain health in people with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. It may help researchers understand whether exercise can support brain function and overall health in this condition.
This trial tests whether a combination of at-home (telehealth) aerobic exercise and computer-based cognitive training can improve thinking and day-to-day function after a first episode of schizophrenia-spectrum illness. It may help by strengthening attention and learning skills after the initial psychotic episode.
This study looks at how your brain learns from positive social experiences in people who are in the early stages of schizophrenia-type illness. It may help researchers understand “social anhedonia” (feeling less pleasure or reward from social situations) and guide future treatments.
This study looks at how a behavioral program (including remediation and behavior-based techniques) may improve outcomes for adults with schizophrenia-spectrum conditions. You may be eligible if you meet basic age/language needs and haven’t done certain therapies recently.
This study is testing a new way to help people with psychotic disorders better understand what they agree to in research. It is for adults who scored low on a comprehension test and speak English or Luganda.
