Brain ultrasound and machine learning for schizophrenia identification
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a safe, non-invasive brain ultrasound test to look for patterns that might help identify people with schizophrenia. The results could lead to a new way to help diagnose the condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You either have a schizophrenia diagnosis (for the schizophrenia group) or have no personal or family history of psychiatric disorders (for the healthy control group).
- You must be able to complete the ultrasound and clinical assessments.
- You must be free of severe physical or neurological diseases and major psychiatric disorders aside from schizophrenia.
- No history of drug or alcohol abuse is allowed.
- The ultrasound must produce clear images, which depends on your skull structure.

This study uses brain scans to look at how a specific brain area works in schizophrenia. If you qualify, it may help researchers better understand the brain changes linked to symptoms.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to improve brain connectivity in people with schizophrenia. It may help with symptoms by using magnetic pulses to target specific brain areas.
This study tests a new ultrasound treatment that targets brain areas involved in hearing voices. It may help reduce persistent auditory hallucinations in people with schizophrenia.
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 whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can improve brain connections in people with schizophrenia. It involves two types of MRI scans and several TMS sessions to see if it can help with thinking and symptoms.
This study measures brain signals during scans to look for patterns linked to two types (subforms) of psychotic disorders. If you have schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder and your symptoms have been stable, you may be able to help researchers understand these brain markers.
