Heart Rate Feedback for First-Episode Psychosis
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a digital tool that helps you monitor and control your heart rate patterns can improve symptoms in people newly diagnosed with psychosis. The goal is to see if this biofeedback method reduces depression and other symptoms alongside your regular treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with psychosis for less than 5 years and are currently in treatment
- You are between 18 and 55 years old
- You have a diagnosis of schizophrenia-spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, or depression with psychosis
- Your symptoms are present but stable enough that you're safe to participate
- You score at least 7 on a depression screening test
- You do not have heart, neurological, or diabetes conditions, and an ECG heart test shows your heart is healthy

This study tests a self-guided cognitive training program designed for young people who recently had their first episode of psychosis. It aims to improve thinking skills and daily function through exercises you can do at home.
This study explores how thinking and memory work in people who have experienced early psychosis. It involves computer tasks, brain scans, and a type of brain stimulation to better understand cognition. The study has two parts: one for people currently in early psychosis and one for people who have had psychosis at any point.
This study looks at how to improve early psychosis care using data-driven planning and support for people who are newly developing symptoms. It may help by sharing better ways to coordinate treatment among patients, families, and the clinic/community teams.
This trial studies whether heart-rate variability biofeedback training can reduce distress and symptoms in people whose symptoms seem physical but are linked to psychological factors (somatoform-related issues). It may help you learn to better control stress-related body signals through training sessions.
This study looks at how the brain regulates mood and body signals in young adults ages 18-27. It includes people who have had depression in the past but are now well, as well as healthy volunteers with no psychiatric history.
This study examines the brain in people having their first episode of psychosis (like hearing voices or strong false beliefs) to understand more about schizophrenia and related conditions. It involves MRI scans and other tests over one year.
