Brain training for schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 55 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder.
- Your mental health has been stable for the past few months: no hospital stays in the last 3 months, and no changes in antipsychotic medication in the last 4 weeks.
- You have not had electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in the last 6 months.
- You do not have certain medical conditions that affect the brain, like a seizure disorder, stroke, or head injury with loss of consciousness.
- You are not currently in a major depressive episode and have not had a substance use disorder (other than nicotine or caffeine) in the past year.

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 looks at whether a treatment that targets brain “rhythms” can improve working memory in people who are in the early stage of schizophrenia. It may help the brain process information more effectively, which can support daily thinking and functioning.
This trial tests whether real-time brain imaging “neurofeedback” can help people with schizophrenia who have ongoing auditory hallucinations (hearing voices) that haven’t improved with medications. If you qualify, you may complete brain-scanning sessions where you practice changing brain activity while being monitored.
This study uses brain scans (MRI) and real-time feedback to help train the brain to reduce frequent, distressing auditory hallucinations (hearing voices) in people with schizophrenia. If you qualify, you may try a structured neurofeedback program while researchers track changes in your symptoms.
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 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.
